			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>July 24/25 -   Small Farm Skills in Roberts Creek -    Good basic skills! Take one class or take them all. Congenial camping ($5 a night per person), take in the beach or a restaurant while you&#8217;re on the coast.  Contact Robin at info@ediblelandscapes.ca to register or for more info.</p>
<p><strong>Saturday July 24</strong></p>
<p>11:30 –  1 pm   Hand Tool Maintenance and Repair (Instructor TBA)<br />
Although we presently live in the day when it costs more to buy a new handle than to replace the broken hand tool, this might not always be the case. Our instructor will first show us how to prolong the life of our tools, then show several techniques for replacing handles using old and freshly made examples.   $25</p>
<p> 1:30 to 3:00     Year Round Gardening with Robin Wheeler<br />
What does it take to eat our own garden food for as much of the year as possible? This is as much a space/time mapping exercise as anything, and Robin will guide us through the steps it will take to plan this wide spectrum food garden, and we will address storage issues. $25</p>
<p>3:30 to 5 pm    Intro to Bee Keeping with Martin Cook  - off site (directions provided)<br />
Get all your basics in this class – life cycle of the bee, equipment required, siting and maintenance of the hive, a year in the life of a hive, diseases and predators, and more. See an active site and taste some results. Martin Cook is an experienced bee handler and honey producer. $25</p>
<p><strong>Sunday July 25</strong></p>
<p>10:00 – 11:30   Improving your Soil with Alain Bergeron<br />
Alain turned a raw forest clearing into a fine and productive working market garden using everything he could find around him. He will discuss quick soil analysis and materials needed for correcting typical soil issues, and will get everyone working on a patch of ground trying out his methods!   $25</p>
<p>11:45 – 12:45   Plant Nursery Skills with Robin Wheeler<br />
We know that if we want to cover our landscape with lots of healthy plants, we need to know how to propagate and then how to tend many plants in pots. We will learn about soil mixture, pot size, overwintering and water problems.  $20</p>
<p>2 pm – 3:30    Advanced Bee care with Al Cobbin<br />
The new bee keeper will want to keep improving their knowledge. Master Bee Keeper Al will discuss swarming, disease issues, comb or chunk honey, granulation and seasonal preparations and more.  $25.M</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>We are just tightening up our Permie Primer Weekend in Roberts Creek!  Take a peek, choose one or choose them all! Registration is now open &#8230; email info@ediblelandscapes.ca  or call Robin at (604) 885-4505</strong></p>
<p>We often end up stewarding land with fewer basic skills than we thought. This weekend was designed to cover some first steps in land analysis, plant propagation, plant maintenance, simple framing, making the most of a chicken and more!  Stay tuned for more of these summer and fall courses!</p>
<p> Friday July 9    Chickens can be vital to the sustainable farm as they quickly return our kitchen waste back into food, and their manure is a rich source of nitrogen for our sandy soil.  We will learn chicken care later this summer, and for now, will learn gentle dispatch of these valuable creatures, and then how to maximize every bit</p>
<p><strong>4:30 – 5:30  Gentle Butchering (instructor TBA)</strong><br />
Sometimes we have to put a chicken out of its misery after a dog attack, or we may be culling an assertive rooster. Knowing how to do the deed with the least distress to the animal is crucial. And there is now an opportunity to analyse the organs to assess flock health, or to prepare the animal for the table. ($20)</p>
<p><strong>Introducing - Chicken from Beak to Cheek with Ian Lai</strong><br />
We will huddle around the picnic table for outdoor cooking of the following:</p>
<p><strong>5:30 onwards   Part one - From block to board.</strong><br />
  Learn how to butcher the chicken professionally with the greatest of ease.  Utilize the right parts of the chicken for the right dish by understanding moist and dry heat cooking methods.  Techniques such as marinates, salt cure and dry rubs will help you enhance flavour and tenderness.</p>
<p><strong>Part two – Liquids and solids.</strong><br />
 It all starts with the stock – learn to make a flavourful stock that can be utilized as a broth , turned into a stew and converted into a pot pie.  Use constituent parts to smoke, grill and fry to incorporate into light summer fare. ($32 includes dinner) (BYOB)</p>
<p>Ian Lai is a consultant and Chef Instructor at the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver.  He is the Founder and Project Coordinator of the Terra Nova Schoolyard Society.  The Terra Nova Schoolyard Society is a non-profit urban agriculture project for elementary school children located in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Ian has been in the hospitality industry since 1979 and has worked for the Four Seasons Hotel, the Sheraton Hotel, Cara Flight Kitchen and he was the Resident Chef for the Consulate General of the United States of America. Ian is the Principal of Urban Agriculture Consulting.  He lives in Richmond with his wife and daughter.<br />
 604-767-9264<br />
ianlai@telus.net</p>
<p> <strong>Saturday July 10 –</strong></p>
<p><strong>10:00 – 11:30)  Basic Permie Plant Care with Robin Wheeler</strong> – What if we decide to follow the no prune/no spray method of plant care?  What to do with those raspberries, rhubarb, fruit trees and other traditional plants to keep them in good year round condition? We will look at that as well as Permie plants like mashua, cinnamon yam and discuss overwintering needs. ($25)</p>
<p><strong>11:30 – lunch –</strong> your brown bag or order $5 snack lunch.</p>
<p><strong>12:15  - 3 or so Beginner Framing with Tim Forester</strong><br />
Many of us begin to build a coldframe, plantstand or chicken run without any idea of framing the structure for strength and weightbearing.  It’s good to have some basics and Tim will guide us through ground prep and design and get us going on a vine arbour. ($30)</p>
<p><strong>3:30 – 4:30  Understanding Your Land -  for the new small scale food producer with Robin Wheeler<br />
</strong><br />
Growers face many challenges, and having a firm understanding of their own strength and weaknesses, and of the assets and drawbacks to their land will help direct them to use energy efficiently. Participants will be led through a series of lists that will help them use space and time better and to direct resources where needed.  Also excellent for any new landowner or wannabe. $20</p>
<p><strong>4:45 – 5:45 – Understanding your Woodshed/Woodstove with Robin Wheeler</strong><br />
Siting of a wood shed can make a huge difference in pollution at burning time. We will talk about the ideal shed, and then go inside to look at the physiology of the wood stove and how to use it to best reduce smoke pollution. Also good for beginner woodstove users ($12 – priced low to encourage people to use carbon reducing skills)</p>
<p><strong> Sunday July 11<br />
10:00 – 11:30   Intro to Plant Propagation  with Robin Wheeler</strong><br />
We want our land covered in a diversity of healthy plants and few of us can afford the nurseries. Robin will guide us through sourcing, seed growing, divisions and cuttings and participants will go home with a few babies. ($25)</p>
<p><strong>11:45 – 12:30  Creating an Irrigation System (instructor TBA)<br />
</strong><br />
Using water properly is vital in terms of plant care and farm efficiency. A good irrigation system can be a boon to a grower. This class is geared towards the greenhorn who would like to learn the names of all the components, how they fit together, and why they should be selected.  We will do a quick irrigation modification to end the class ($25)</p>
<p><strong>1 pm – lunch – your brown bag or $5 snack lunch</strong></p>
<p><strong>2 pm  onwards TBA</strong></p>

<p>Hi, all -</p>
<p>Still a few spaces left in the <a href="http://slas.ca/2010/04/08/you-are-warmly-invited-to-the-wild-weekend/">Wild Weekend May 8 and 9th at Roberts Creek</a>&#8230;register soon! Meanwhile, back at the ranch &#8230;I&#8217;m looking forward to our next weekend of workshops coming on May 14 &amp; 15. Take one workshop or take them all. <em>Looking forward to hearing from you,  Robin</em></p>
<p><strong>May 14/15/16   Roberts Creek - Bush Farming</strong></p>
<p>New farmers are still seeking bushland to cultivate, without having any real experience in clearing land or making design decisions. This weekend offers basic skills often overlooked but necessary. Take the time to learn some unspoken laws, have some fun with rocket stoves, network with others, meet mentors and to Unhook with Peter Light.</p>
<p><strong>Friday, May 14</strong></p>
<p><strong>6:30 – 8:30 pm-   Creating Dimension lumber with the Mini Mill with Rob Corlett</strong></p>
<p>It is hugely satisfying to create a stack of lumber from logs on your own property. Rob will show you finished products from his mill, and how to analyse a log for best use. He will guide you through safe use of the mill, proper stacking techniques and maintenance of the mill and chain saw.  $25</p>
<p><strong>Saturday, May 15 </strong></p>
<p><strong>9:30 – 11:00    Woodlot Selection with Rob Corlett</strong></p>
<p>Someday we will have to make decisions on how to “manage” a small woodlot for maximum yield. Rob will talk to us about light, spacing, disease, preservation of wildlife trees, watching property margins, and how to fall small trees so that we end up with the best spacing for firewood. $25</p>
<p><strong>11:15 – 12:30    Post Setting with Rolef Ohlroggen</strong></p>
<p>Whether keeping food competitors out or keeping animals in, we need fences. Many skills get learned the hard way. Most of us will inherit old fences or want to set new ones, and the proper setting of a post is an important art in the skill set of bush living. Rolef will show us how to interpret failure of old posts, how to choose new ones for the job, how to set in soil, how to save an old post using metal spikes. $25.</p>
<p><strong>1:30 -  3:00 -   A Farm is Born with Robin Wheeler</strong></p>
<p>From logged forest to planet-friendly multiuse property, Robin will describe the steps she took to map the big picture - decide on a well type, position sheds, create fencing, bring in “recycled” housing and begin the gardens – all part time and on a shoe-string.  $25</p>
<p>3:30 – 5:30  - TBA</p>
<p><strong>6:00 pm -   Shared dinner – contribute, or help clean up.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sunday, May 16</strong></p>
<p><strong>9:30 – 11:00    Creating a Bush Market Farm with Alain Bergeron  Off site</strong> – directions provided on registration.</p>
<p>Alain bought cleared land in the forest and spent months gathering seaweed, coffee grounds and leaves to improve the soil. He dug an irrigation pond, rigged up a propane shower and raised his family in a bus while building up his market farm that now produces hundreds of pounds of food a year.   $25</p>
<p><strong>11:30 am to 1 pm  Rocket Stove Workshop </strong>~ build your own camp stove! With Nadi Fleschhut</p>
<p>Understanding the basics of fuel-efficient, low-emission stove design. In this workshop we will explore the basic concepts of fuel-efficient stove design by building a zero-cost wood burning portable camping stove made from recycled cans.  We will study the “rocket elbow” design of Dr. Larry Winiarski, and learn about the main principles that all rocket stoves employ to create the best circumstances for a high-efficiency wood burn that minimizes pollution and increases heat transfer.  I’ll also introduce the concept of the “hay-box” as a complementary tool to minimize energy use by allowing the food to ‘cook itself’. You will go home from this workshop with your own little camp stove with which to impress your friends, and a good introduction to the concepts of fuel-efficiency. Please bring work gloves (as we’ll be working with snips and tin cans), tin snips if you have them, a notebook, and your joy of learning.</p>
<p><strong>1:30 to 3:30: How to Unhook with Peter Light (off site – 2692 Highway 101)</strong></p>
<p>How to stop doing what you don&#8217;t want to be doing and start doing what you do what to be doing. A discussion group tailored to the needs of each participant exploring what it means to disengage from the dominate paradigm traps of the mother culture by turning on, tuning in, and dropping out.  Based on the life experience of the instructor and feed-back from course members. Oriented around permaculture.</p>
<p><strong>Sunday afternoon: 4:00 - 6:00:</strong> A tour of the instructors developing permaculture, showing, step by step how he is reclaiming two and a half acres of blackberry with no machinery and no digging; developing and executing a permaculture design; and planting and tending it, all with a minimum of labour and a maximum of enjoyment.  But one does have to work!  We&#8217;re not kidding around here!  And as spring rockets into growth, ten and twelve hour days were the rewarding price of self-sufficiency and freedom, month after month.  It is how one lives a day if one is a permaculture homesteader.  Now, at 67, the instructor is trying to get it down to 2-8 hours a day. Sliding scale - $30 - $45.</p>
<p><em>A prerequisite for each course it to read the segment of the instructor&#8217;s autobiographical sketch to be found at <a href="http://slas.ca/peter-light">http://slas.ca/peter-light/</a></em></p>
<p><strong>6:30 to 7:00 - Cook-out around the doorstep firecircle</strong></p>
<p><strong>7:30 onward - firecircle hang-out.<br />
Soup, beer and wine provided by the instructor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Register with Robin: info@ediblelandscapes.ca or call 604-</strong><span class="headingWhite13Bold"><strong>885-4505</strong> </span></p>

<p>May 8/9 - Roberts Creek - just 20 minutes from the Langdale ferry terminal, accessible by city bus.</p>
<p> Hone your outdoor skills in a relaxing and supportive environment. Take any number of classes, camp on site ($5) or stay with friends. </p>
<p><strong>Register? Questions? :</strong> Connect with info@ediblelandscapes.ca  or call Robin at 604-885-4505</p>
<p><strong>Saturday, May 8 – Edible Landscapes site – 1732 Pell Road, Roberts Creek<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>9:30 – 11:00    Introduction to Wild Edibles with Annette Clarke</strong></p>
<p>Easy to identify plants that do not need any complicated cooking methods are the topic of this course. An emphasis is placed on respectful collection and proper identification of the food plants. Different plants are growing and ripening with each season. Topics change slightly depending on the time of the year.  We will cover berries, wild weeds and edible trees. $25</p>
<p><strong>11:15 – 1:30 pm      Wild Containers with Annette Clarke </strong>(bring brown bag or order $4 snack lunch to eat during this class)<br />
We may find ourselves in the bush, wanting to carry berries, mushrooms or other precious finds. Annette will show us samples of various containers made from bark, leaves and vines that will last for years.  Container materials will be: Grass, Leaves, Sedges and Rushes, Cattail and Birch bark. We won&#8217;t make all the different container types, but I will bring them all for showing the options and then pick one simple version (Leaf or Grass) and a Cattail container to make ourselves. $25</p>
<p><strong>2:00 pm – two events occurring at two locations –<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Option 1: 2:00 - 5:00 -  Into the Wild with Peter Light </strong> (off site – 2692 Highway 101 - Carpooling can be arranged, camping available at Peter’s.)</p>
<p>Covers most of the resources one can find close to our doorsteps in our west coast woods.  Learn how to recognize the principal trees in our forest; spot useful old, moss-covered logs for multiple uses; process cedar poles and beams for all your building needs; split cedar shakes for roofs and walls – in short, how to go into the woods and harvest all you need for a FREE house, barn, shed, bench, fence, gate, handle, etc., etc., as well as a FREE supply of fuel to heat your home and cook your food.  Learn, too, of more unsuspected wealth that lurks among the trees!  Includes an introduction to the hand tools you will need to harvest these resources.  $30 - $45 sliding scale</p>
<p>5:30 to 7:00 - Cook-out around Peter&#8217;s doorstep firecircle.  Instructor will contribute hearty soup and bread for all.</p>
<p>7:00 onward - Firecircle hang-out. Some beer, wine and smoke provided for all.  Sleep over optional. Please register. A prerequisite for this course is to read the segment of the instructor&#8217;s autobiographical sketch to be found at <a href="http://slas.ca/peter-light">http://slas.ca/peter-light/</a></p>
<p><strong>Option 2:  2:00 – 4:00    WILD PIGMENTS </strong>- Colouring with plants and minerals with Annette Clarke  (or: how to make the best out of a berry stain)<br />
Colours made from charcoal and clay earth pigments such as red and yellow ochre have been used worldwide since prehistoric times. In this course we will make red, orange, yellow, white and black oil paint from minerals and pollen and purple and red water paints. All materials used are local, easy to find and lots of fun to work with.<br />
The course also includes the making of your own brush from a small branch or twig, as well as handouts and all materials needed. $25.</p>
<p><strong>Sunday, May 9 (Edible Landscapes site – 1732 Pell Road)<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>10 – noon    Native Plant Technology with Cymba</strong><br />
The workshop will consist of a walk around the area to identify plants that were (are) commonly used in various technological ways (providing materials for cordage, adhesives, shelters, clothing, tools etc.  Samples of important materials from off-site will also be provided for discussion.  In a hands-on component we will play with simple tool construction (includes binding and gluing). * The exact nature of these workshops will vary according to interaction between participants. We will attempt to cover all materials and the instructor is willing to spend more time if participants feel a need.  $25 </p>
<p><strong>1: 00 – 2:30   Wild Medicines and Wildcrafting Skills with Robin Wheeler<br />
</strong><br />
Beginner class for harvesting wild medicines. We will learn some recognition techniques, identify common wild medicines, take samples, and learn some uses.  We’ll learn sustainable and respectful wildcrafting techniques, plus how to dry and store berries, leaves, roots and flowers for highest quality results.  We’ll drink teas and apply poultices. $25</p>
<p><strong>3:00 – onwards   Fire! with Kim Wilkinson</strong><br />
Rekindle your relationship with fire in this 1.5 hour course for beginners on fire-making in a wilderness living or survival situation. We’ll start with basic concepts tinder and spark with modern methods and materials. Then we’ll try our hands at ancestral techniques including flint &#038; steel and finally bow &#038; drill friction fire with natural materials. We’ll discuss respectful gathering of tinder, cordage, and wood materials, and how fire interacts with other survival priorities including water, shelter, food, and emotional health. Be aware that when we work with ancestral skills we are not guaranteed to “make” a fire—fire is a gift that comes from a relationship. Bring a sense of gratitude and join us to experience the wonder of fire!  $25</p>
<p><strong>5:00 onwards Dinner at the fire pit.</strong> We will enjoy our wild edibles, harvested teas, bannock, fish and homemade wine.  $3.00 per person or contribution to above.</p>

<p><b>The Nutritious Nettle Learning Party! </b></p>
<p><b>….with nettle-gatherer and home medicine-maker Keira McPhee </b></p>
<p>Wednesday, April 7<sup>th</sup>, 1-2:30 pm</p>
<p>I love plants, but I don’t know my nettles very well. They like to  live in sunny, wet places, and the sun can be scarce in Lynn Valley. It’s time for a trek over into the wilds of Burnaby to learn about and  harvest some nettles! I’m eager to collect and learn about the uses of these  delicious and nutritious plants. We will share our tips and tricks for harvesting and preparing nettles. <i>Tricia</i></p>
<p>Children are welcome!</p>
<p><b>Our guide for the day: Keira McPhee </b></p>
<p>&#8220;I am a non-denominational kitchen witch kind of herbalist who is  most devoted to my nourishing weeds- those plants that provide abundant food  and medicine right outside my door.&nbsp; These past couple of years I&#8217;ve grown  and prepared enough teas to last me throughout the year from my urban garden  and from foraging. My son and I drink a LOT of tea. (My partner less so but he  digs the herbal ice teas in summer.)</p>
<p>I learn first and foremost from the plants that grow abundantly about  me, in my garden, in my neighbourhood and in the forests close to the city,  as well as from the&nbsp; herbalists and plant freaks I encounter through learning parties.&nbsp; But nettles first&nbsp; came to me in a book I&#8217;ve been rereading and consulting for 15 years,&nbsp; Susun Weed&#8217;s &#8220;Healing Wise&#8221; (google her, she&#8217;s got a mammoth and very helpful shaggy garden of a website.)&nbsp;&nbsp; Nettles called, and I started buying them in bulk. <span class="il">Nettle</span> and raspberry leaf tea was my everyday drink  while I was pregnant and nursing.&nbsp; Now I forage for nettles every spring and because  I am an insane gardener,&nbsp;even grow them in my backyard. They are my favourite all-round spring nourishing food/medicine and I look forward  to sharing them with you.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Location:</b> Near Burnaby  Lake. Address will be emailed to registered participants 3 days before the learning party.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" mce_style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><b>Cost:</b> $10.&nbsp; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-357" href="http://slas.ca/2010/03/26/a-tasting-party-too/tree-brewing-logo1/"><img class="alignnone  size-medium wp-image-357" title="tree-brewing-logo1" src="http://slas.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tree-brewing-logo1-300x78.gif" alt="tree-brewing-logo1" width="300" height="78" /></a></p>
<p>Thanks to Tree Brewing Co., (and Michelle!) the <a href="http://slas.ca/2010/03/19/you-are-invited-to-the-homebrew-learning-party/">Homebrew Learning Party</a> will be a tasting party too. Tree has   generously donated some mixed flats of beer to try out as we learn to brew ourselves.   John, our guide for the night will help us match some of our favourite types of beer to various recipes,  that can all be sourced at <a href="http://www.beermaking.ca/">Dan&#8217;s Homebrewing</a>.  While I&#8217;m eager to add brewing to my fermenting repertoire  I know I will be  patronizing BC&#8217;s microbreweries (and Czech pilsners) in the future too.</p>
<p>I won&#8217;t hazard a guess at how many batches it will take before I feel ready to take the next step: brewing with herbs I grow. It just feels like a good idea to begin with what I know I like- hops, barley malt, water &amp; yeast as laid down in the Bavarian Purity Laws of 1516.  But rules about what to eat, drink or medicate annoy me and instantly provoke my inner 15 year old hoser-punk. So I&#8217;m already pondering <a href="http://www.erowid.org/library/review/review.php?p=147">beer recipes that rebel</a> and dreaming about future learning parties.</p>
<p>I know this is an interest of Mary and Steve, our homebrew party hosts as well. It just seems to follow from growing food in a gentle way- you produce an abundance of stuff you intended and an abundance that just shows up. It&#8217;s amazing how many of the uninvited plants are nourishing in some way- especially if fermented!</p>
<p>Beermaking is definitely a tradition I want to be inducted into by a knowledgeable guide and in good company. I&#8217;m glad to know that I&#8217;ll have Mary and Steve and potentially some folks from the learning party to compare notes with afterwards.  Sometimes a 2 minute conversation or a targeted question to a friendly person can bolster my confidence to just try stuff out.  So I&#8217;m excited to see familiar names registered for the learning party, including folks from past learning parties, from friends I didn&#8217;t know were yearning to brew, and from folks I&#8217;ve just met in other contexts (like the Potato Salad crew- our new potato growing co-op, also loosely affiliated with the hodge-podge of grassroots projects that is the Sustainable Living Arts School.)</p>
<p><em><strong>There are still a few spots available for this learning party which starts next Monday, March 29 and continues on Monday, April 12 for bottling. Come join the learning crew if you can- we&#8217;d love to have you!</strong></em><strong> </strong></p>

<p><em>You are warmly invited to another hands-on Sustainable Living Arts School Learning Party….</em></p>
<p><strong>The Home-brew Learning Party! </strong></p>
<p><strong> ….with beermeister John Margetts</strong></p>
<p>This is a 2-part learning party.</p>
<p>Part 1 Brewing: Monday, March 29  from 7-9:30</p>
<p>Part 2 Bottling: Monday, April 12 from 7-9:30</p>
<blockquote><p>This one gives me great delight. As a dedicated and nearly life long beer enthusiast (my mom tells me I liked the taste right away) I am very excited to add this craft to my repertoire of the sustainable living arts. This 2-part learning party series will give us all the basics to brew our first batch of beer at home.  Please come with your favourite snack to share with beer. Samples of beer provided! Looking forward to seeing you there,  Keira<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Our guide for the day: John Margetts</strong><br />
&#8220;I first pitched some yeast into a beer kit a little more than twenty years ago but I really started making beer about 11 years ago.  That was when I first met Dan (of Dan&#8217;s Homebrewing Supplies)  and he taught me how to use a mash tun and the value of using fresh hops.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>There are so many reasons to brew your own beer:  it&#8217;s cheaper, it&#8217;s tastier, it&#8217;s often better for you (unfiltered, unpasteurized) and has real food value, it&#8217;s less predictable (i.e., more interesting), it&#8217;s educational and empowering to do it yourself. It&#8217;s one step in the right direction- avoiding mindless consumerism. The old saying about chopping your own firewood applies:  it warms you twice, and it&#8217;s fun.</p>
<p>Teachers provide some guidance, but the real learning comes from the student her/himself and their experiences.  I think the best way to learn how to do something is by working with someone with experience and then just doing it and learning from your successes and failures both.&#8221; John Margetts</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Register:</strong> http://slashomebrew.eventbrite.com</p>
<p><strong>Location:</strong> - Close to Main and 23rd. Address will be emailed to registered participants 3 days before the learning party.</p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> $40 You&#8217;ll go home with approx. 2 litres of our homebrew after the bottling party.</p>
<p>A huge thank-you to our sponsor for this learning party- <a href="http://www.beermaking.ca/">Dan&#8217;s Homebrewing Supplies!</a> We highly recommend Dan&#8217;s for all your homebrew supplies. Find them at 692 East Hastings.</p>
