Brewing equipment added to Food Innovation Center (http://news.unl.edu/newsrooms/today/article/brewing-equipment-added-to-foodinnovation- center/)
Abstract
New services are brewing at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's Food Innovation Center (http://innovate.unl.edu/food-innovation-center) . Partnering with American Beer Equipment in Lincoln, the university’s Department of Food Science and Technology is bringing a 3.5 barrel, semi-automated brew house online in theFood Innovation Center pilot plants. The equipment, which will be available in the spring, will be used for research into craft beer and other fermented products, developing/testing related products with industry partners, and student instruction. “This brew house will open new doors for the university to expand research and extension work into, essentially, any fermented product,” said Steve Weier, general manager of the pilot plants. “It’s also good timing because there is an increased interest in this area, particularly with craft beer, which is a growing Nebraska industry.”
