Course content
The course Beer Production 2 logically follows the course Beer Production 1, and solves the production of other special beers. In this course, students will focus on the production of top-fermented beers and special beers, from the design of raw materials, their preparation and the actual production of beer using individual technological steps (shredding, wort and wort production) to the moment of fermentation and maturation of beer. Other practical experiences that students will gain relate to ancillary activities in the brewing operation, such as beer bottling or brewery sanitation (homebrewing). 1. Top-fermented IPA beer (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch) 2. Top-fermented APA beer (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch) 3. Special dark beer Porter (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch) 4. Special dark beer Stout (batch preparation, calculation of the amount of individual raw materials, shredding, test batch)
