How can we turn bull poop into renewable energy? Is winemaking an art or a science? Toowoomba's Irish Club Hotel will have pints filled with science, exploring the rear end of renewable energy and the bizarre, yet magical ingredients in turning water and grapes, into wine!

Renewable energy: the power of bullshit

Peter Harris (PhD Candidate, National Centre for Engineering in Agriculture, USQ)
Discussion around renewable energy is dominated by the big 3 – hydro, wind, solar. I will talk about the little-known field of biogas production, pros and cons of this technology, and recent work regarding how we can boost financial returns.

They put WHAT in wine???!!!

Ursula Kennedy (Lecturer - Wine Science, University of Southern Queensland)
Wine is what you get from the fermentation of grapes ... but it is also so much more! The history of wine goes back thousands of years during which we have discovered many other—often bizarre—magic ingredients that make our wine even better!
