“doing some great brews after your terrific course!”
-Jamie Roydhouse, Melbourne Advanced course (13/6/2013)
“G’day Vince, Hope you are well, I did your advanced brewing course a couple of years ago at Keg King.
Really enjoyed your course mate, so much so I gave it a rap in one of my brewing youtube vids, I probably got your details wrong but I think it got the point across.”

This was very informative and I learnt a lot! I had a great day and learned a lot in my time with you.”

“Hi Vince,
Well it’s been 8 months since completing your brew course & I’ll just like to say a thank you. The information you taught me has proved invaluable & I continuing to refer to your notes for guidance.
We’re pleased to announce, that thanks to your help, our brewery is up & running. We released our 1st beer at a perfectly timed beer festival right here in Martinborourgh a few weeks ago & now have it available at a local bar. We’ve had good feedback & have no shortage of retailers, bars & people wanting it. Still using the tiny Farra kit we showed you but with some modifications. Our biggest problem is of course volume so we’ll see how things go & look at upsizing.”
-Stephen Fox (Fish), Master Brewer, (22/4/2013) on Masterbrew course in Wellington
Hi Vince, “Just thought I should let you know that your course was so rewarding.
Unbelievably the brew that I kegged the day after the course is fantastic!! None left!! An AussiePA.

Cheers,

“Hi Vince
Thanks for an awesome week of learning. It was a pretty good way to spend my holiday, studying the one thing I love, beer! I enjoyed the courses emensly and got a lot out of them. They were well structured and professionally delivered by you, a man with infinite knowledge, experience in the industry and who obviously has a personal love for the almighty brew itself. I can’t wait to start putting together a new HERMS system at home applying my new found knowledge and embarking on my quest to brew the perfect beer. Score 9.99/10. Thanks once again. Regards. “
-Christopher Rhys Vivian (23/06/12)
“Hi Vincent,
Thank you very much for the excellant course. I really learned a great deal about how to further my beer making and hopefully this will be the first step to starting my own microbrewery. Understanding beer tasting was the highlight for me as I often struggle to understand why my beer has certain tastes and how to improve my beer flavours. Thanks“

– David (06/04/11)
“ Thank-you very much for the brewers course on 12-16th March 2011. It was packed with tricks of the trade to not only help me brew my perfect drop but also help me with my dream of one day starting up my very own micro brewery. I never knew how the wine industry got it so easy from the government either. All the best ”

“ Thanks for spending some of your valuable time giving me a crash course on beer brewing. The course is really informative and I am now all excited to set up a microbrewery. I live in an island called Batam. The resort island next to Batam is called Bintan (Indonesia). When I get back, I will go to Bintan island and evaluate the prospect of setting up a microbrewery there ”
