The following material will be presented during this course: Water balance in malting and brewing; Malting technology and biochemistry; Mashing technology and biochemistry; Hop science and technology; Wort boiling; Properties of brewer's yeast; Fermentation technology and biochemistry; Maturation and conditioning; Post-fermentation techniques; and Beer quality and flavour.
