Turns out our teachers are quite the talented bunch outside of the classroom! And since the holiday gift-giving season is officially in swing, we thought it'd be fun to highlight some of their projects, all of which would make aaaaawesome gifts.

Inside the Sriracha Factory from Sarah Lohman on Vimeo.
Our pal (and Brainery teacher), Sarah Lohman of Four Pounds Flour recently visited Huy Fong's new sriracha factory in Irwindale, California. She also spoke with founder David Tran and got a look at the fields where all the red jalapenos that go into your favorite condiment are grown. Check it out!
We're big fans of Bitter & Esters, the homebrew shop and classroom on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights, so we were beyond thrilled when the kind folks at Vimbly invited us to participate in a Homebrew 101 class at the shop last week. In case you haven't met them yet, Vimbly allows you to easily find things to do, all over the city.
We were greeted by Douglas and John, owners of Bitter & Esters,...

Sarah will school you on Thanksgiving's history, from the Pilgrims to pumpkin pie, and from President Lincoln to green bean casserole. We'l...
One of the most intimidating things about trying a new recipe is sourcing the sometimes hard-to-find ingredients, so we wanted to give you a cheat sheet on where to find them, based on our 7,000 years of experience tracking things down for classes.
Let's start with Kosambri, a traditional South Indian carrot salad; the recipe comes from Chitra Agrawal's excellent blog, The ABCD's of Cooking. I...
If there's at all a silver lining to the 10,000 layers of crappiness surrounding the closure of 3rd Ward, it's that there are still lots and lots of places to learn all sorts of things in Brooklyn and beyond. I started tweeting out a bunch this morning but thought it might be nice to compile them in one place. If you're a former 3rd Ward teacher or a space looking for instructors, be sure to check out our 3rd Ward...
With the crazy news of 3rd Ward shutting down, we figured that there's about a million of you 3rd Ward teachers out there who might be interested in picking up some new gigs. But hey, the Brainery can't do that many more classes, and we sure don't have a metal shop, so why not do something that helps everyone? Introducing the 3rd Ward Instructor Matchmaking Service!
Here's the plan:
1! Get as many former 3rd ...
