| Learning Outcome | |||||||||||||||||||
| The course is an obligatory part of the specialization in Brewing Science & Technology as well as the Diploma Master Brewer syllabus. Students will acquire a theoretical knowledge and the skills of Beer Processing, Beverage packaging and beverage Plant Utilities in order to obtain the technical skills to manage a beverage plant / a brewery. The students will get the competences to assess Beer Processing, Packaging, Cleaning, Quality, Project managemet and Utilities processes. Knowledge Identify and describe the processes in a standard brewery and beverage plant with respect to physical and chemical changes of beer processing, beverage packaging and beverage plant utilities to technically manage the process and the plant. Skills Apply concepts from chemistry and food technology to describe the beer and beverage manufacturing process. Reading and using original scientific literature. Calculate physical and chemical processes in the beer processing, beverage packaging and utilities parts of the beverage plant. Competences Evaluate the physical and chemical changes happening in beer production based on literature, on lectures and partly also own experimental data and scientific literature. | |||||||||||||||||||
