Speaking of Technical
Presentations, this is going to be a good one! Our very own District VP,
Phillip Davidson, will be providing an informative presentation on the uses of
hops and hop products. Here's a little taste of what he'll be covering...
Tools in your toolbox – an overview of hops products for
the production of wort and beer
As the number of
breweries continues to grow, as well as a desire for hop forward craft beers,
increased hopping rates can become an operational challenge. There is a growing
need within the industry for information regarding the portfolio of hop
products available to the brewer. While brewers may be familiar with the
general use of whole leaf hops and Type 90 pellets, they may be unaware of the
respective efficiencies of these products. Additionally, there are many other
hop products available that can help the brewer improve hop efficiency, quality
of product, as well as reduce cost overall. In this overview, the production,
application, efficiency, and logistical considerations of various hop products
are considered.
If you don't know
Phillip, but I'm sure you do, you may know that he began his brewing
career in 2007 with D.G. Yuengling & Son in his hometown of Pottsville, PA,
working through cellaring operations and into the brewhouse. You may also
know that Phillip joined S.S. Steiner as a sales representative to craft
breweries in 2012.
What you might not know
is that in 2009 he attended the MBAA's Brewing and Malting Science
Course and in 2013 received a diploma in Brewing Technology from Siebel
Institute. In 2011, Phillip was elected as the MBAA Philadelphia Secretary, and
in 2014 was again elected as the District Vice President. He is knowledgeable
about many aspects of brewing and most certainly hops. We are looking very
forward to his presentation!
