Who Should Attend

Working brewers in the industry who lack formal training in brewing science and engineering, or owners and managers who require technical knowledge to better perform their jobs.  Participants in the working brewers class will not be attending the onsite week and will instead have the hands on work and final exam overseen at their home brewery by their head brewer. ***YOU MUST BE A FULL-TIME WORKING BREWER TO ATTEND THIS CLASS***

Course Description


The course is comprised of instruction in brewing science and engineering including the theory, science and technology of brewing processes that convert barley to beer. Special emphasis is placed on practical issues such as raw materials quality and assessment, practical wort production, yeast propagation and handling, fermentation and finishing practices, including filtration and beer packaging, and quality assurance. All these topics will be reinforced by engineering calculations, design problems, observation and demonstrations.

Working Brewers will complete the course 100% remotely, completing the final tasks and exam under the guidence of their head brewer. Provided there is space availible, Working Brewers may be given the option to complete the course by attending the residential week in Vermont.
