Liquid Bread: A Sourdough Alementary

Overview

If you're thinking about fermentation and yeast, you're probably thinking about beer. You may not realise it, but you could also be thinking about bread. Brewing ales and baking loaves have more in common than it seems.

Don't believe us? Well, maybe you'll believe the gang at the Scratch as part of the Alementary series. That's where they broaden your horizons, and we're not just talking about them pouring you drinks. Their popular classes dive into the method behind the magic of your favourite beverage.

This week, the topic is sourdough, in all its fermented glory. Why does it taste so good? How do you make it at home? And what does it have to do with beer? Expect to learn all that and more, plus eat and drink more than a few samples. You'll be an expert on wild fermentation, alternative grain and sourdough brews in no time, and you'll get a starter kit and recipes to make your own bread at home, too. Space is limited, so if you want to get baking, you'd best get booking. Tickets are available over the bar or by calling (07) 31079910.
