Featured Stories

Confined Space Entry

Matt Stinchfield

Breweries are full of confined spaces, from grain silos to brewhouse vessels. All of them need inspection, cleaning, and repairs at one time or another. What’s a brewer to do?

Combustible Dust Hazards in the Brewery

Derek Duval

Common brewing ingredients, in the right (or wrong) conditions, can present a much greater hazard than fire, in the form of a flash fire (fireball) or explosion.

Cleaning Regimens and Chemical Safety for Nanobreweries

Dana Johnson

How do nanobreweries develop proper cleaning protocols and safely handle the chemicals needed for the process? Established brewers share their experiences.

Beer Lovers Tasting Menu

Horst Dornbusch

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the author presents a special pairing menu of courses both cooked with and paired with the perfect beer, with a Bavarian flair.

A Note From the Editor

Jill Redding, Editor-in-Chief

This issue also includes our usual informative departments, plus brewery-generated news about the craft brewing community in the Brew News and New Releases sections, and new products and services from the allied trade in Industry Supplier News. In our back-page interview, we highlight Jason Oliver, brewmaster at Devils Backbone Brewery in Virginia.

Cheers, and we hope you enjoy this issue of The New Brewer.
