More About This Title Mastering Brewing Science: Quality and Production
English
The focus on quality and on the biology, chemistry, and process control of beer brewing, as well as the emphasis on student understanding, make Mastering Brewing Science an ideal learning tool for all brewing programs.
- Applies all key principles of science to the brewing process, facilitating a better understanding of both
- Includes in each chapter a set of problems and questions the reinforce student understanding of the material
- Concludes several chapters with practical case studies from real-world brewing experiences to further develop chapter concepts through application of problem solving skills
- Presents the brewing process in logical order to cover all aspects of raw materials, wort preparation, fermentation, conditioning, and packaging
- Covers the basics of quality management, data management, experimental statistics, statistical quality control, and essential laboratory methods for ensuring consistency and quality; and includes recommendations for how to start a quality laboratory
