Beer Brewing and Fermentation

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: A228TG

We humans have produced beer at least since we started farming, which makes beer production one of the oldest technologies still in use today. While the basics of beer brewing is the same we have come a long way towards understanding what is happening and why, which allows us to improve it. During the course the modern beer production process, from raw material to finished beer, will be presented. To understand the subject the course starts with a general introduction to fermentation; why fermentation happens, what happens, and how the right conditions can be achieved for it to happen. The course then continues with the beer production process starting with the raw materials and how they change and are converted during each step of the process. Furthermore, how the raw material is influenced and influences the yeast, that is responsible for the production of alcohol and the taste is presented. The environmental impact of beer production and how the generated waste can be treated will also be discussed. After finishing the course the student should have the theoretical knowledge that is required to brew his/her own beer.
