BRW 250 — Brewing Technology
Through this course students will be exposed to different kinds of brewery equipment, technology, and facilities typically used today. The course will ensure students have a solid understanding of not only the design, construction, installation, performance, and proper maintenance of equipment utilized in beer production, but will also reinforce strict guidelines for safe and efficient operation of the equipment at all stages of the brewing process. This includes utilizing the provided safety equipment and safely disposing of waste materials, but also embraces the practices of sustainable brewing. Students will have contact with operational machinery and engage with brewing technologies directly at local brewery facilities. Some of the equipment involved will include vessels, piping and valves, pumps, heat exchangers, pasteurizers, carbon dioxide systems, counter-pressure-filling machines, conveyers, and other machinery.
