An Introduction to Brewing Sake

Sake is a beverage that unlike beer, wine, cider—and more recently mead—has neither a strong cultural tradition nor a large, knowledgeable hobbyist collective in the U.S. That said, the process of making sake shares many similarities with Western fermentables. This seminar will demystify sake and make it accessible to the average homebrewer. We’ll discuss the equipment necessary for making sake, ingredients, the basic process from start to finish, variations in style, and some of the lessons Edward has learned in his journeys.
