Brewing and ethanol production microbiologist/biochemist consultant.
• Several years of experience in managing and advising environmental businesses
• Successful in developing and managing innovative programs that achieve organizational goals maximize customer satisfaction, and generate repeat/referral business that contribute to sales growth and profits.
• Highly skilled in training, mentoring, and supervising staff.
• Experienced in writing technical procedures to include safety manuals. • Proficient on many scientific instruments including medical, industrial, and QA/QC
laboratories.
Experience in consulting and training in Ethanol, brewing, and wine industries
• Ten years’ experience with ethanol production, including front end, production in Haiti, and distilling
• Several years’ experience and education with analytic instruments. • Education, training, and experience in medical and industrial microbiology. • Experience in patent and grant writing. Have a patent in ethanol industry plus have
written safety and laboratory manuals. • Worked with PPAF for developing programs in Haiti for better sugar cane ethanol
production by evaluating Guildeve’s. Experience and research with cookstoves and distilling use in Haiti.

A few topics in my book:
• Rapid Starch Testing
• Calculating Sugars and pH
• Dextrose Equivalent Testing • Brix Determination (Hydrometer/Refractometer)
• Understanding pH and pH Approximation • Yeast Hydration, Yeast Trial Guidelines, and Yeast counts
• Temperatures for yeast and enzymes • Hydrometer and Hand Tools and microscopes
• Techniques for Detecting Microbial Infections in Ethanol Production
• Free Excel Worksheets /Spreadsheets
I can help you with:
• hplc/gc training and education and testing
• Compliance and Safety
• Data Collection and Analysis
• Infections, bacteria, chemistry
• Stuck fermentations
• Trouble shooting
• Instrumentation
• Procedure writing (sop)
• Infection control
• Process review and consulting
• Bacteria and yeast counts
• Microscope training
• Culturing bacteria
Microorganisms found in Ethanol Production: Bacteria eat the sugar before the yeast can make alcohol from the sugar! And it may not taste so good either!
Yeast Cell Counts!!!
Process evaluation Mold and Bacteria
• HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography. Get this done!!! • Dp4 are larger starches
• Still some glucose left over • Still some ethanol left over
• Extremely infected with Lactic Acid bacteria produce lactic acid out of the glucose
• High stress on yeast which are producing glycerol instead of ethanol.
• Peak after glucose is probably Fructose or Sucrose which are other sugars that can be fermented.
