Key words
Brewing, Malting, Quality control, Technology
Objectives
Learn to operate malting and brewing technological equipment and processes, using in-house pilot-scale laboratory facilities. Recognize and solve technological problems under time-pressure, individual or in a team. Get used to contributing to product and process development and presenting research results.The student is experienced in important modern physical-chemical and sensory controls used by the industry for raw materials and half-/final products or process control and efficiency. The student can understand, present foreign literature and translates these to understandable and usable workinstructions for production or laboratory quality control
Topics
The course is arranged according to the production process
- Raw material analysis
- Operate and control the production process, from barley to finished beer
- Quality control half- and final product
