Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Plan and run brewing batches from milling malt to filling, following the recipe and production schedule.
Monitor mashing and boiling, adjusting temperature and timing so that enzymes convert starch into fermentable sugars and the wort is sterilised.
Add hops at the right point in the boil and check their effect on bitterness and aroma.
Pitch yeast and manage fermentation, using cooling jackets to control the temperature of each tank.
Oversee conditioning and filtering so the beer is stable and clear, and keep to the filling schedule.
Take samples through the process and test them for oxygen content, unwanted microbes and ageing compounds.
Check ingredient shipments for variation, keep a retained sample of each batch for comparison if complaints arrive, and maintain batch records.
