Not a home brewer --yet? This is a fun and affordable hobby you can learn at Bootleggers in their classes where they teach the fine craft of home brewing from master brewers. They have an on-site brewing facility for wine where they can take you through the steps of home brewing starting with ingredient selections and blending to bottling your own wine. Their instructors will not only teach you the brewing basics, but will also educate you in the variants of the ingredients and the processes so you can be well on your way to becoming a master brewer.
Once you have learned brewing basics, you can choose to either purchase equipment and brew at home or you can continue to brew wines using their facilities where they will monitor your batches for you or you can stop in to monitor them yourself. When your batch is ready, you will make an appointment to bottle your wines on site making the home brewing process easier for you.
