A few weeks ago the AGFS 415 students accurately identified natural vs washed fermentation coffee from in Rye, NH based only on smell & taste. Today since we don't have classes, I figured I'd sit here and write the mid term exam. Will there be a question about coffee fermentation? Probably a couple 🙃☕

Just opened the summer 2026 UNH magazine to find a great highlight about the AGFS 415 class! (Yes this has been sitting on my coffee table for a while....I've been busy 😂)

Yesterday Professor Lee came to AFFS 415 to give a Kimchi preparation demo 🥬🌶️💚 Can't wait to taste it after it's been fermenting for a few weeks! I love blending the science with the practical, and thankfully I know a lot of really talented people ❤️

We learn about a lot more than just b**r in AGFS 415 these days! Our first sensory assignment for the semester was with local sourdough from Meme’s Sweet Treats ❤️ 95 students (some for the first time ever!) related microbes to the flavors found in sourdough bread. 🍞

Friday was coffee tasting with AGFS 415 ☕ Did you know coffee cherries are fermented before they are processed into the beans you are familiar with? Not only that, but there are different fermentation methods. The task for these students was to correctly identify the washed vs natural fermented coffee based only on aroma and taste. 72 people voted and the response was 92% correct. That is simply AMAZING because we had one lecture about methods, and only a little practice with sensory so far. We used La Mulita Coffee beans and a huge thank you to the owner Max who helped me plan not only some of this lecture, but also my trip to Colombia last spring so I could bring this first hand experience and pictures back to UNH. 🇨🇴☕💛💙❤️

Empty bright tank! That means our first b**r is kegged and ready to serve next week. It's a cherry blonde ale, light and refreshing! 🍒 🍺

May 7th 2:00-6:00 is our last open day of the semester! Come taste our new cherry-strawberry lemonade seltzer, and we have a little of almost everything from the semester left as well. Fills are only $5 tomorrow so come help us kick these kegs. If you need a new or additional growler the deposit is $5 and you can always return extras in the fall to get that $5 back. (Cash only, bring your ID!) ☀️🏖️📚🍻
