Annotation -
The course is focused on understanding the malting and brewing technology as a whole process, from different raw materials to the final products. Brewing technological process is divided to hot part (preparation of wort and hop boiling after addition of hops, wort separation and wort cooling) and cold part (cold wort is fermented and matured). After filtration, the final beer is filled into the transport and consumer packages. In addition to the bottom fermentation technology, the production of top fermented beers is discussed, including the production of special beers.
