Understanding media selection and the techniques necessary for proper media usage are as important as identifying the organisms that grow on them. Join us for a presentation that will help you decide what types of media are best suited for …Read More
The kettle souring process is a commonly used method for creating refreshing sour beers in a relatively short period of time. The process, as commonly described, aims to create clean sour beers while minimizing the potential for off-flavor development. This …Read More
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a valuable analytical tool that can be used to test for spoilage bacteria and wild yeast in the brewery. This technology is more affordable and user-friendly than ever, and can dramatically improve microbiological control and …Read More
During every beer fermentation, a countless array of flavor byproducts is produced. Most of these compounds add to the character and complexity of the beer, but some can be considered off-flavors. One of these offenders is the buttered popcorn quality …Read More
Breweries are constantly fighting against microbial threats. This talk will focus on Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus, an over-attenuating yeast. This organism makes use of sugars that are left over after fermentation and can wreak havoc, from out-of-ABV-compliance beer to bottle …Read More
