IMPORTANT: ADVANCED-LEVEL BREWING COURSE
Course/program requires students to have specific knowledge of brewing technologies and/or related sciences in order to enroll. To assess your readiness to participate, please contact Keith Lemcke at klemcke@siebelinstitute.com requesting an assessment review for your chosen course/program.

Our WBA Process Technology course deals with processing & packaging of finished beer, as well as important engineering and "physical properties" issues. The packaging information includes the most recent developments in alternative materials (such as plastic bottles) and super-high-speed bottling systems. Engineering and process instruction includes topics such as properties of metals and other materials, fluid and pump dynamics, and other areas critical to improving brewery performance.

This two-week program forms Module 3 of the World Brewing Academy Associate in Brewing Technology and International Diploma in Brewing Technology programs. Students can elect to attend the other courses that form the Associate & Diploma programs at a later date so that they may complete these programs at their own pace.
