Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
Brewing 1 is the first of the two Master Brewer courses. The course gives a theoretical background and technological solutions for the processes of malting, wort production and fermentation. This course assumes the student possesses considerable practical experience from small and large breweries, and all aspects from raw materials to end of primary fermentation will be discussed assuming this experience. In return, the students will acquire knowledge of modern brewing science at the highest level and be able after graduation to undertake the technical management of a brewery. The following topics are covered in detail: Raw materials in brewing: barley, malt, adjuncts, hops and water Recipe development Malting technology: steeping, germination and kilning, utilities in malting and malt specification Wort production / technology in the Brewhouse: milling, mashing, mash separation and wort boiling Wort Treatment: clarification, cooling and aeration Beer Fermentation: propagation and yeast handling, fermentation and maturation Brewing Chemistry: barley & malting, brewhouse & wort, fermentation and maturation, beer Brewing analysis: barley, malt and wort, theory and practical exercises Microbiology: barley, malt and yeast Pilot brewing of beer from the students own recipe Brewing calculations: malting and brewhouse Biological Control Statistical Process Control Visit to a malting plant, a research centre, a small size brewery, a medium size brewery and a large size brewery Project work in groups will be made on a topic defined in the beginning of the course. | |||||||||||||||||
Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||||
Lectures, where a general theoretical overview of the subject is presented. Theoretical exercises that elaborate and illustrate the theoretical knowledge by using e. g. specific real examples. Practical pilot brewing and laboratory experience with chemical and physical analytical methods that are used for wort - and beer production. Visits to breweries and brewery-related companies. | |||||||||||||||||
Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||||||||
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 malting, brewing and fermentation in order, to get prepared for the Course Brewing 2. The students will get the competences to assess malting, brewing and beer processing processes. The course is specially suited for students, who register for Brewing 2, and who wish to become Diploma Master Brewers. Knowledge Identify and describe the processes in a standard brewery with respect to physical and chemical changes of raw materials, beer processing and normal analytical work to manage the process control. Skills Apply concepts from chemistry, microbiology and food technology to describe the beer manufacturing process. Reading and using original scientific literature. Calculate physical and chemical processes in the malting, brewing and beer processing. Competences Evaluate the physical and chemical changes happening in raw materials, brewing and beer production based on literature, on lectures and partly also own experimental data and scientific literature. | |||||||||||||||||
