This is a 10-part series, with episodes released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday starting on February 10, 2020. The goal of this video series is to teach brewery microscopy from the ground up. The first five videos in the series concentrate on understanding and properly using your microscope. The final five videos then show a range of microscopy-based assays that are useful methods to employ in your brewery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season 1<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-automatic-youtube-gallery-block\"><div class=\"automatic-youtube-gallery ayg\">\n        <ayg-theme-classic id=\"ayg-d3bbb352c707fcc626b1ef82dd016015\" class=\"ayg-theme ayg-theme-classic\" data-params=\"{&quot;uid&quot;:&quot;d3bbb352c707fcc626b1ef82dd016015&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:0,&quot;autoadvance&quot;:0,&quot;player_title&quot;:1,&quot;player_description&quot;:1}\">\n        <div class=\"ayg-player\">\n            <div class=\"ayg-player-container\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\">\n                <ayg-player src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2-wwJISuOfg?enablejsapi=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;iv_load_policy=3\" ratio=\"56.25\" title=\"\u00b5Brews Episode 1 \u2013 A Brief Tour of a Light Microscope\" poster=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2-wwJISuOfg\/maxresdefault.jpg\"><\/ayg-player>           \n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"ayg-player-caption\">\n                    \n                    <h2 class=\"ayg-player-title\">\u00b5Brews Episode 1 \u2013 A Brief Tour of a Light Microscope<\/h2>  \n                                  \n                    <ayg-description class=\"ayg-player-description\"><span class=\"ayg-player-description-less\">In this video I will take you on a quick tour of a microbiological light microscope.
