(eCornell) Creating Craft Beverages
About This Course
Fermentation is about more than ingredients. The processes that the brewer, vintner, cider maker, and mead maker follow have an equally large impact on the final product � and small variations can make a big difference in the flavor profile. Using a scientific approach, you will design a craft beverage of your choosing. As you create a plan to produce the beverage, you will gain an understanding of the interactions between raw ingredients and processing steps which together influence the taste. You will then apply a systematic approach to tasting, using your senses to allow you to better articulate what you enjoy in a particular beverage as well as make specific recommendations to others. The course is provided by eCornell in partnership with Genashtim.
