Contemporary Experiments in Ancient Brewing

Contemporary Experiments in Ancient Brewing is a study on ancient brewing techniques in ceramic vessels. Steve Hulbert, Baltibrew member and Baltimore Clayworks trustee, and Ben Freund, resident artist at Baltimore Clayworks, have been brewing beer in handmade ceramic vessels since early 2015. The experiments have spanned many phases of the brewing process including mashing, boiling, fermenting and conditioning. Successes and failures will be presented, and samples of beer made in clay pots will be provided.
