The Russian people's love for beer and natural fermented drinks began a very long time ago. Beer is one of the most ancient drinks, which was respected and loved along with honey and kvass. The modern Russian beer market is large and diverse. However, it is very difficult to develop the brewing business in Russia today. There are many reasons for this: high competition, “expensive” money, a general decrease in the purchasing power of the population, and the constantly changing and increasingly complex conditions of government regulation. Conference “Russian Brewing Market. Part 2” is for brewery managers, brewers, as well as professionals working in the production of brewing products, cider, poiret and mead.

Whey is a product that for many years has not been considered a by-product of milk processing and the production of various dairy products - cheeses, cottage cheese, yoghurts, sour cream... Today whey is a source of dairy components, the use of which begins in the dairy industry itself - for example, micellar casein is excellent raw materials for semi-hard cheeses; other industries that consume dairy components - confectionery, meat, pharmaceutical, chemical industry and more. Rational processing of whey is one of the main tasks of dairy industry companies in conditions of market volatility and requirements imposed by regulatory authorities. A current trend is the development and production of functional milk concentrates based on recycled milk raw materials. The purpose of the conference “Milk Collider: Components from Milk and Whey” is to tell in real cases about the variations in the use of whey in the food industry.
