Maybe you’ve always wanted to try it -- making your own beer at home. Now the California School of Culinary Arts is offering a cooking class, ‘Organic Beer Making 101’ (for those 21 and older).

Learn the craft of extract brewing, including the fundamentals of how yeast works and how to clean and sanitize brewing equipment, select the best organic ingredients, cook and cool wort (beer) and bottle home brew. Students will brew 48 bottles of beer -- an organic India Pale Ale or organic brown ale, both of which require a 1- to 2-week resting period after the bottling session in the second class.
