Theory from barley production, malting, types of malt,
lab analysis of malt, water, hops, yeast and finings.
The Brewing Process in theory – from preparing the malt through mashing in, boiling,
fermentation, packaging to what can go wrong. This day includes a presentation and a practical demonstration of how to bottle real ale,
from experts at Leek Brewery.
Where we all get hands on in the brewery and spend the full day making beer.
We will be using our commercial brewery to probably brew two beers at the same time.
We will analyse the beer now in the fermenting vessels and then will discuss the brewing equipment and layout required with all the alternatives. Also covered is cleansing and sterilising, cask washing and filling. We will also cover Effluent, Planning, Environmental Health Officers, HM Revenue & Customs, Marketing and Business Analysis & Costs.
Advanced theory and cold filtering,
carbonating and back pressure,
filling ale or lager in to kegs and bottles.
We will also discuss craft beer in cans.
With a presentation on various filter technologies.
We offer the only course in the world that can give a practical and theoretical
insight into cold filtering, coarse filtering, kegging
& bottling carbonated beers in a day.
