The accompanying work book is structured to match all the sections of the
above syllabus.
At the end of several of the syllabus sections, notes have been added to provide
candidates with the opportunity to find out more information relevant to their own
breweries and their own experiences. Although not essential to any
examination, it is anticipated that any additional information obtained by these
exercises will provide candidates with a more rounded knowledge of beer
brewing and packaging.
In some cases, additional notes have been provided to expand the information
presented. Again this may not be required for examination purposes, but is
intended to extend the candidates’ overall knowledge of the relevant subject.
