This panel of craft lager experts will provide attendees with an apples to apples process comparison at key points in lager production on systems ranging from budget-conscious to high tech, manual to automated. Speakers will provide a wide set of lager brewing experiences while remaining focused on a small set of variables so attendees can apply similar process evaluations when brewing on their unique brewery systems.

Learning Objectives:

• Hear how each panelist approaches lager brewing and cellaring on their respective systems
• Compare how the panelists maintain product quality while working with a wide range of equipment specifications and budgetary constraints
• Understand the thought processes for why key brewing steps in traditional lager production may be followed, modified, or omitted
• Gain enough insight into these approaches so that attendees can strategically apply them when brewing at home
