Workshop:

Wild Yeast Hunting

with Wolter Jonkman and Ad van Nuenen

24 Nov 2019

One of the most important tastemakers in your beer happens to be a living organism: yeast. Most beer brewers buy their yeast from expensive suppliers, but what to do if you want to work with your own yeast? In this workshop, people learned how to catch wild yeast from nature, how to manage a pure yeast culture and how to grow your favourite yeast strain.

Bierkaai Brouwers

In 2015, De Bierkaai was founded as an association for hobby brewers. De Bierkaai organizes beer-tasting evenings every month and aims to share and spread the love for brewing. They organize club-nights and events, for all beer-lovers and hobby brewers in Amsterdam.

Wolter Jonkman

For Wolter Jonkman, yeast has always been more than just the thing you use to transform wort into beer. As soon as Wolter started brewing, the living organism caught his special interest. Wolter is a board member and the co-founder of the Bierkaai, an Amsterdam-based brewing association. He also co-organised the Amsterdam BeerFair, and writes a blog about brewing on brouwstore.nl. 

Ad van Nuenen

Next to his laboratory work at the Amsterdam medical center, Ad van Nuenen has been a passionate craft beer hobbyist. Together with Wolter, Ad co-founded de Bierkaai, for which he is an active board member. Combining his laboratory knowledge with his love for hobby brewing, Ad hopes to take his knowledge outside the laboratory to share it with home-brewers.
