CHEM 3180 Chemistry of Brewing Laboratory

This laboratory course examines the fundamental principles of brewing.  Students will learn essential techniques and standardized methods used throughout the brewing process.  An in-depth scientific approach will be utilized to analyze the four main ingredients, extracted constituents of the ingredients, and water quality.  As a group project, students will produce a small batch of beer that will be analyzed using the methods learned and presented to local brewery representatives for evaluation of aroma, color, body, and flavor.
