Testing Services
Our lab can provide testing for local breweries, including %ABV, calories, and color.
Workshop Sign Up is now open for Spring 2019!
This program is designed to give brewer's the education, hands-on experience, and tools they need to start their own QC program.
Visiting the Hop Yard
The QC2 lab visited the Hop Yard in Gorham to discuss how our lab can support the hop industry in Maine.
Volunteering in the community
Each semester our research lab volunteers some where in the community. In July we spent time volunteering for the dinner service at the Preble Street kitchen.
