Burukutu beer is popularly known as “BKT†is produced by the traditional method using guinea corn grain (Sorghum vulgare). The microbiology of the four stages of its production which are steeping malting mashing fermentation and maturation were studied using sabourand’s dextrose agar incubated at 370c for 24-72 hours. Three trails were conducted, the counts by 104 per ml and of fungi at steeping ranged from 107.5 to 116 with an average of 111. the counts by 100 per ml of fungi at mashing ranged from 188 to 219 with an average of 205 and the counts by 104 per ml of fungi at fermentation and maturation ranged from 175 to 181 with an average of 177. the yeast isolated was the Saccharomyces sp and molds isolated were the Mucor sp, Rhizopus sp, Penicillium sp and Aspergillus sp. the total viable count showed that the greatest number of fungi occurred during mashing while the lowest occurred at maturation.
