Microbiology for Brewers course offered
8/9/2012
 

Whether you make beer at a local business or at home, learn more about the brewing process at “Microbiology for Brewers” offered by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point Continuing Education on Saturday and Sunday, September 29-30.

Held in a fully equipped microbiology lab at UW-Stevens Point, the course will be taught by Associate Professor of Biology Terese Barta and will include the biological aspects of managing yeast and bacteria in the brewing process. Participants will also learn how to determine yeast populations, how to detect and identify bacterial contaminants and microscopic staining, and observation techniques.

Offered to a small group of 12 will allow for personalized attention for each participant. The course is for established brewers only, as this is not a course on how to brew beer.  The course cost of $169 includes all materials. 

To register or for more information, call UW-Stevens Point Continuing Education at 1-800-898-9472, or visit www.uwsp.edu/conted/ConfWrkShp/Pages/BrewingMicrobiology.aspx.
