Brewing = Chemistry: The Science of Beer
October 12 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join Jeanne Berk of Cedar Crest College, Lehigh Valley ACS, as we learn about some of the chemistry involved in brewing beer. Discover how four simple ingredients, barley, water, hops and yeast come together through fermentation and other chemical reactions to make such a wide variety of beers. The steps involved in the production of beer will be covered as well as how the flavor and type of beer depends on the temperature, timing, and amount of each ingredient. Networking session to follow at Campus Town.
