Dr.- Ing. Nils Rettberg
Guest Speaker, VLB
Dr.-Ing. Nils Rettberg currently heads the Research Institute for Raw Materials and Beverage Analysis at the Research and Teaching Institute for Brewing in Berlin (VLB) e.V. After completing his training as a brewer and maltster at the Binding Brewery (Frankfurt am Main), he studied biotechnology with a focus on brewing science (2005–2011) at the Technical University of Berlin. As part of his dissertation, “Comprehensive Characterization of Hop Secondary Metabolites,” he delved deeply into the valuable compounds in hops and the challenges of their analysis. During the Hop Aroma Summit, he will present findings from current research projects focusing on the chemical and sensory changes in cold-hopped beers.
