Brew Role: Staging

Staging (/ˈstɑːʒɪŋ/ STAH-zhing) is a brief internship one chef works in another chef’s kitchen in order to learn and to be exposed to new techniques.

You can only learn so much online. You can only learn so much in your discord chat. Shit starts getting real when we get off the computer and into the world. We should be looking for ways to meet up with other brewers, people who we HIGHLY trust, and to sit down and knock out a batch or two of E together.

The most important part of this homebrewing business, in my opinion, is that we spread the knowledge (hence this website). A good website with half decent documentation goes a long ways, but perhaps just as important is something that you can do yourself. We only need one or two good websites that teach this stuff. But we need dozens or hundreds of homebrewers who are willing to bring people into their kitchens and to teach.

Consider finding a kitchen to stage in.

Consider bringing on a stage for your next brew.

A good situation will be one where you’re open to learning from each other, even if one person has more knowledge than another.
