ASBC LABS Meeting - Philadelphia
Led by Brewing Quality Lab Scientists, participants will receive hands-on training in USciences laboratories with established ASBC methods. The focus of this workshop is to train participants in Brewing Microbiology practices for the Quality Control Lab. Following the laboratory workshop, technical presentations will discuss how to establish a microbiology program, how to intentionally introduce and manage microbes in your brewery, and barrel microbiology. Vendor exhibits and networking opportunities will be offered during registration, dinner, and during social hour. An advanced workshop is available for hands-on training in cutting-edge biotechnology for microbial detection. Those who register for the advanced workshop will be contacted about two weeks before the event with instructions on sample submission.
