SCI 15000 - Brewing Science

Credit Hours: 3.00. Following the brewing process from “grain-to-glass”, this course uses the biological and chemical principles of brewing to teach science to the non-science major. While based solely on malted barley, water, hops, and yeast, beer and the brewing process provide a wealth of examples of basic science. In addition to these basic ingredients, scientific discussions on malting, mashing, fermentation, and the making of different beer styles will also be included. In the laboratory, students will gain hands-on experience with important aspects of the brewing process. An emphasis on the responsibility we must take for our behavior when consuming beer will be stressed. Typically offered Summer Fall Spring.
