Familiarisation Training
Are you new to brewing at production scale? Would you like someone at your side for the first 1-2 brews on your new brew kit to support you and leave you with the knowledge and confidence you need? As well as practical experience I have an excellent theoretical understanding of brewing so can help you understand why we do what we do. Some aspects of the process are critical, others are flexible, it’s good to know which are which.
Recipe Design
Full scale brewing is not quite the same as home-brewing. A real mash tun is not as forgiving as a Grainfather. Do you have problems with your mash filtration – sometimes that comes from the malt bill design. Are you getting the flavour profile you want – I can help you with water chemistry (I was a Ph.D Chemist in a former life), hop addition rates and timings. Would you like one or more beers designed from scratch to meet the style and flavour profile you are looking for? I can even brew small scale batches in my home pilot brew area so that you don’t need to risk a full batch on a new recipe design. I will work with you as an invested collaborator.
Problem Solving
Do you have an ongoing problem with yield, an off-flavour, long term haze stability or something else? With 20 years problem solving experience in the speciality chemicals industry backed by brewing knowledge gained first hand and through my IBD qualifications I can probably help. We can walk through your recipe sheet or brew day process and highlight any changes to solve your ongoing issues.
