Craft Beverage Specialty Grains - Quality Considerations for End Users
- Language
- English
- Note
- Registration is required for all events, regardless of cost.
As consumer tastes change, growers cannot depend on simply meeting USDA grades for specialty grains if they would like to sell to beverage markets. Growers need to understand the brewing process and engage with craft beverage producers to develop products that offer variety and meet individual brewer’s needs. Craft Beverage Specialty Grains - Quality Considerations for End Users talks about grain quality, the malting process, and how the grower and the end-user can collaborate to create a local supply chain that is equitable and promotes PA agricultural products to consumers.
This event is being funded by a PDA Specialty Crop Block Grant ME# C940000781 and offered in partnership with Penn State Continuing Education Berks Campus and Deer Creek Malthouse.
