As all alumni know (some from bitter-sweet past experience), students are notorious for their ability to drink beer … lots of it. They are less renowned, however, for making beer.

This is exactly what the final-year students from the School of Chemical and Minerals Engineering did not so long ago, using the facilities of a brewery in Potchefstroom, called Route 96.

These aspiring engineers competed against each another to see who could produce not only the best beer, but also cheese and chocolate.
