From Heavy Seas:
BALTIMORE, MD --- This spring, Heavy Seas Beer will hold a series of
educational beer classes at its brewery in Baltimore, MD. The goal is to further
educate and enlighten the Heavy Seas staff while giving other companies the
opportunity to participate.
According to Brewmaster, Chris Leonard, “As Baltimore's largest brewery,
we at Heavy Seas Beer feel a responsibility to our colleagues to take a
leadership role whenever possible in facilitating education, research and
collaboration. In that spirit, we are hosting a lecture series for other local brewers
on technical brewing. Our first session on Saturday, March 14th had staff from
Mully's Brewery, Ruddy Duck, Manor Hill, Union Brewing, Brookville Beer Farm,
Baying Hound, OC Brewing, and Brewer's Art.”
Leonard also states, “We have a much more complete laboratory facility
than most, if not all, of our smaller brethren. So, we intend to begin offering some
lab services - microbiological testing, IBU, ABV, and SRM (color) measurement,
and bottle DO (dissolved oxygen) measurement. We have some sophisticated
equipment (Anton Parr alcolizer, spectrophotometer, autoclave, incubator, etc.)
that most small breweries do not. Our goal is to offer these services at "cost",
basically, with the goal of helping other local breweries manage/track/control their
products in a manner similar to larger breweries.”
Heavy Seas is thrilled to be a part of such an important initiative to support
the local brewing community. Stay tuned for the dates of upcoming classes.
