Dig out the best university offering something in your region. In USA there are two: Oregon State and us at UC Davis. Here in Davis there is the longer option – BS in Food Science (Brewing Option) or MS. But the Extension Master Brewers Class will gear you up in just a few months. Look up “brewing” and “UC Davis”
What would the recommendation be for someone with a with a background in Chemistry for starting a career in beer making?
