Brewing & Fermentation Science
Introduction to Brewing Science
BRFS101
The course aims to introduce the student in a responsible manner to beer as a major international beverage and to brewing as a traditional, yet highly controlled and innovative industrial process.
3 credits
Prerequisite: Math Placement Score of 5 or MATH095 (C or better); and Reading Placement Test score Level 3 or READ110 (C or better) or COMP108 (C or better).
Brewing Analysis & Quality Assurance
BRFS102
This course provides a thorough knowledge and understanding of the science and technology of the brewing of beer. This is achieved by the study of brewing raw materials (water, malt, hops and yeast), brewing processes (malting, brewhouse procedures, fermentation, and finishing operation), and quality assurance methods of the industry.
3 credits
Prerequisite: BRFS101 (C or better) and CHEM101 (C or better)
Practical Malting & Brewing
BRFS201
This course builds upon the principles of malting and brewing science gained from the completion of prerequisite coursework by introducing students to the basic methodology used in malting and brewing laboratories for the analysis of raw materials and monitoring of process and product.
3 credits
Prerequisite: BRFS102 (C or better) and BIOL228 (C or better); must be at least 21 years of age at time of course enrollment
Brewing & Fermentation Science Internship
