DIS 211 Adv. Distillation Science & Principles
This course extends the knowledge and skills gained in DIS 110 while incorporating an advanced understanding of distillation science, process technology, and engineering. Students will gain a deeper technical understanding of how different types of spirits are produced. Students will understand the physical and chemical properties that drive product quality through fermentation and distillation to maturation and packaging. Distillation equipment design and layout, energy and water management, and handling of distillation by-products will be covered. Theory will be combined with practical hands-on pilot-scale distillation, proofing, and blending experience. Quality assurance, critical control points, and distillery safety will be stressed.
