Q: Is the price per person or per batch?
A: The price is per batch of beer (one machine each batch). We take groups of up to three people per batch.
Q: How long is my voucher valid for?
A: A voucher must be redeemed within one year of purchase, however the workshop need not have taken place by expiration date.
Q: Is it possible to have more than 3 people in a group?
A: It is possible to book a fourth person onto your group workshop by purchasing this addition on our website
Q: Do we have to have three people in our group?
A: Not at all. You are more than welcome to come on your own or as a group of 2 people. We do not match participants with others to make up the numbers.
Q: What time do you start?
A: We have multiple time starts depending on the day of the week. Please check your booking for time of workshop.
Q: Do I need to bring anything?
A: In the interest of safety, please wear appropriate shoes and long pants. Be aware that this is a working environment which may have wet flooring and/or trip hazards such as hoses. Enthusiasm is always welcome. Home brew is appreciated if you have it. We aim to provide everything you need for your brewing workshop.
Q: What can I brew?
A: We have many tried and tested recipes which covers a large amount of beer styles, however if you are a very clear idea of what you'd like to brew please get in touch and we shall do our best to enable you to brew whatever you wish. Due to recommended fermentation temperature, we strongly advise against trying to brew a lager or pilsner style beer as we cannot accommodate the lagering process.
Q: Is the bottling workshop included in the workshop price?
A: Yes, we try to avoid hidden extras.
Q: I would like to purchase a workshop as a gift but don’t know which date to book. Do I need to select a date?
A: Not at all, please select an "open dated" in the drop down menu for dates.
Q: I would like to purchase a workshop as a gift, do I get anything to give to the recipient?
A: Yes, if you purchase an open dated group workshop voucher you will receive an email confirm with a link to your PDF voucher. We will email you a voucher code that the recipient can use on our website to book a specific workshop date. If you book a specific date group workshop voucher, then you will receive an email confirmation with a link to your PDF ticket.
Q: I have a voucher, how do I redeem it?
A: If your voucher was issued before 1st of April 2016 please email us (info@londonbeerlab.com) with your voucher number and the date you would like to book. Vouchers issued after this date should use their voucher code at checkout after selecting the date you wish to book (see here).
Q: Is there a time limit to come back and bottle our beer after the workshop?
A: We strongly recommend to bottle the beer within about 6 weeks. When left in the fermenter for several months most types of beers will develop off flavours and can become fairly undrinkable. We reserve the right to dispose of the beer if you have not made arrangements to bottle and collect it after 2 months.
Q: Do you have parking facilities?
A: Unfortunately we do not have parking facilities.
