General information

The course contains an introduction to the basic raw materials in brewing: malt, water and hops. We go through the basic processes in the brewhouse, the brewer's yeast, fermentation, maturation, filtration and corresponding process equipment. The process ends with packaging of beer and types of containers.
The course also contains subjects surrounding the production of beer: beer history, the role of beer in society, the Danish and international brewing industry and the basics of beer and health.
We introduce new product development, innovation and tasting of different beer styles.
We make a brew in the pilot brewing plant and visit a brewery and a micro brewery.
We go through the basics of brewing chemistry and microbiology, brewing calculations, brewery hygiene and CIP (Cleaning In Place), beer stability, soft drinks and supply chain management.
We are looking into the pairing of beer and food.

At the end of the second week there is an exam.

Afterwards, the student will make a literature study project for one week.
