From Mash to Microbe: The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering of Beer Lecture by Dr. Joseph Menicucci

About this event

Join Dr. Joseph Menicucci for his lecture about the hidden engineering that transforms humble grains into your favorite craft brews. This lecture explores the crucial midpoint of the brewing process, tracking the transformation of raw barley starches into fermentable sugars during mashing, through heat exchange and hop isomerization in the boil, to the precise control required for yeast fermentation. Learn how core chemical and biomolecular engineering principles shape flavor, aroma, and clarity—proving that every pint is a masterclass in chemical and biomolecular engineering.
