Covers general microbiology and chemistry as it pertains to the production of alcoholic beverages and the brewing of beer. Raw materials/ingredients used in the brewing process will be discussed along with the properties of water, pH, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates, and other micro-organisms in the brewery regarding their role in brewing. Develop an understanding of the ingredient interactions of biological molecules, particularly as they pertain to fermentation (yeast biology, wild yeasts, yeast production), identification of wort/beer spoilage organisms using microscopy, staining and differential media.

Prerequisite: None.
