Wiki:About

Brewing Forward is dedicated to becoming the most accurate and comprehensive source for brewing information by focusing on science and professional literature.

Some brewers have a basic curiosity concerning their products: to better understand them and improve their properties, to optimize physical and flavor components, to extend shelf life, to emulate different beer styles, and to innovate novel beer types. More generally the goal is to produce increasingly higher quality and more consistent products on an improved and more efficient system. Up until now, the home brewing community has been disconnected from the scientific community that provides information to help achieve these goals. Brewing Forward was founded in February 2020 to help curious and quality-focused brewers access and understand that information.

About the founder

Adam is an avid scientist and home brewer with a passion for creating quality products.

By trade, he is a clinical pharmacist (with a doctorate, PharmD from the Ohio Northern University), with experience working in Emergency Medicine, and also has a special board certification in Critical Care Pharmacy (BCCCP). As such, he has years of education and training that prepared him for the scientific and detail-oriented aspects of brewing, such as mathematics (including statistics), chemistry (inorganic, organic, and biological), microbiology, biology, evaluating scientific literature, study design, and various hands-on laboratory work like titrations, aseptic technique, and culture isolation. Currently, he is a stay-at-home father of his seven-year-old son.

Adam is also a long-time amateur web-designer with an affinity for technology and programming (mainly web-based).
