Developed and documented standard operating procedures (SOPs) for analyzing alcohol by volume (ABV) in beverages. Only using materials and equipment available at Schreiner, operating within a restrictive budget, and meeting TABC and ATF-TTB requirements, goal was to create a revenue stream by offering services to area wineries, breweries, and distilleries.

Only using materials and equipment available at Schreiner, operating within a restrictive budget, and meeting TABC and ATF-TTB requirements, goal was to create a revenue stream by offering services to area wineries, breweries, and distilleries. (Project is ongoing.)• Developed graph (Excel) and measurements to assess percentage of alcohol based on density (best fit line based on R2 value).• Solved chemical analysis problems by applying analytic principles and statistical methods.• Equipment and processes used included: atmospheric distillation, densiometer, reduced pressure distillation (RotoVap), FID-GC, and troubleshooting RotoVap to remove ethanol from H2O.
