Chemistry Courses

[Jmoot]

I was wondering what chemistry knowledge is needed or recomended to homebrew an what courses what u recomend for a student

Really, 99.9999% of homebrewing doesn't really involve "chemistry" as such -- you're not doing reactions. As long as you follow the instructions and are fanatical about keeping everything sterile, everything should be fine.

OTOH, a basic chem lab course would be good, if only to get you familiar with measuring and handling materials.

I don't know shiot about chemistry and I have been homebrewing for about 2 years now.
You need to know how to follow instructions and how to use a scale.

You need to know how to follow instructions

Of course, that cuts most people out right there.

yeah lol... but when you are making something you are going to inject into your body you tend to pay a lot more attention to instructions... at least I do
