About

Offering microbiological services for Craft Breweries with no laboratory of their own, or those seeking to leverage their existing laboratory set up.

For Breweries who suspect a microbiological problem

• on site assessment
• sample and test as needed
• trace problem back to a most likely source(s)
• suggest strategies for elimination and/or prevention

For Breweries aiming to prevent problems occurring

• review processes and procedures from a microbiological viewpoint
• sample and test as needed
• make recommendations for improvements to prevent possible future microbiological problems
• staff training
• annual or biannual review
• assist Breweries in Planning at the design phase to help avoid creating future problems

Samples tested by traditional plating techniques, and/or molecular techniques as needed.

An additional option is a service to develop SOP’s and implement a system for management of those SOP’s. This provides several advantages to breweries such as capturing the institutional knowledge of processes and procedures, consistent implementation, and better training.

These services leverage my expertise as a biochemist, molecular biologist, microbiologist, and brewer with extensive experience in the biopharmaceutical and brewing industries, as well a knack for detailed observation and problem solving.

 
Available predominantly to breweries in the Triangle and Triad, but I am willing to go anywhere in North Carolina if needed.
