CH 310 - The Chemistry of Brewing (3)

The prevalence of home-brews and microbrews has essentially transformed the brewing of beer into an art form. While the basic concepts behind beer are shared across the world, each unique set of brewers has their own process to contribute to the beer community. This course will expose students to the wide range of beer styles and the basic biochemical processes of brewing. The historical and cultural significance of beer will also be addressed along with the opportunity for students to sample a wide variety of regional brews. Students will also brew beer of their choosing in an integrated lab, which will be sampled during an end of the semester showcase. Prerequisites: Foundations Math. 2015 Core: Culture and Creativity, Transform, Global Studies. SP.
