Description

Take your homebrewing up to another level by understanding why and how to use advanced lab skills suitable for your homebrewery. Professional brewery lab owner Amy Todd walks you through how to make agar plates and slants and then how to use those to collect wild yeast, harvesting yeast from other samples, and isolating yeast strains. You’ll also learn how to wash yeast for future pitching, counting yeast cells to determine viability, and how to determine you are pitching the right amount into your wort. Amy also runs through various controlled tests you can do at home on your homebrew such as forced fermentation and others to give you more information on your batch. She’ll cover the care and use of pH meters, a basic microscope suitable for a home brewery, and other lab equipment you can add cost-effectively to your homebrewery to help you make better beer.
