Research by food science and chemistry students will aid the Ithaca Beer Company in evidence-based decision making on improving beer taste and brewing efficiency.
Gavin Sacks, associate professor of food science, and Chris Gerling, manager of the Vinification and Brewing Laboratory at Cornell and extension associate at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, are collaborating with chemistry professor Brian Crane on the project to improve the popular Ithaca brewer.
The project “Crafting Independent Scientists Through an Analytical Approach to Craft Beer Production” is one of nine to receive Undergraduate Engaged Research Programs grants administered by Engaged Cornell.
