• Brix Determination (Hydrometer/Refractometer)
• Understanding pH and pH Approximation
• Yeast Hydration, Yeast Trial Guidelines, and Yeast counts
• Temperatures for yeast and enzymes
• Hydrometer and Hand Tools and microscopes

• Free Excel Worksheets /Spreadsheets
I can help you with:
• hplc/gc training and education and testing
• Compliance and Safety

• Infections, bacteria, chemistry
• Stuck fermentations
• Trouble shooting
• Instrumentation
• Procedure writing (sop)
• Infection control
• Process review and consulting
• Bacteria and yeast counts
• Microscope training
• Culturing bacteria
Microorganisms found in Ethanol Production:
Bacteria eat the sugar before the yeast can make alcohol
from the sugar! And it may not taste so good either!
Yeast Cell Counts!!!
Process evaluation
Mold and Bacteria
• HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography. Get this done!!!
• Dp4 are larger starches
• Still some glucose left over
• Still some ethanol left over
• Extremely infected with Lactic Acid bacteria produce lactic acid out of the glucose
• High stress on yeast which are producing glycerol instead of ethanol.
• Peak after glucose is probably Fructose or Sucrose which are other sugars that can be
fermented.
