A Lesson In Calculating Alcohol Content

jamesjohn — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:20:13 +0000

Half-pint, pint, liter, you say? When ordering one to drink, perhaps. But, when it comes to measuring beer, brewers have something else entirely in mind. Specific Gravity For reasons known only to history, the term ’specific gravity’ refers to a liquid’s density. By convention, pure water is assigned a specific gravity (SG) of 1.00 at 15.5C (60F) [...]

Barley Malt is the Prime Ingredient in Wort

jamesjohn — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:14:00 +0000

The malting process starts by soaking the grain, causing it to begin to germinate. Small rootlets sprout and the grain is then kiln-dried, crushed and roasted.

Yeast Makes Beer Brewing Possible

jamesjohn — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 18:08:40 +0000

Lager yeast migrates to the bottom of the tank during fermentation and so is called ‘bottom-fermenting’. In the case of ale yeast, some interaction with oxygen takes place during fermentation. Ale yeast ferments quicker, a few days [...]

More Beer Tasting Tips

jamesjohn — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:05:17 +0000

Start with a clean, dry glass for each brew being considered. Appearance, aroma, mouthfeel, flavor and aftertaste all play a part in the experience, along with more subtle aspects.

Using Hops Was a Clever Use For a Useless Plant

jamesjohn — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:50:49 +0000

As a flavoring agent hops contribute in multiple ways. The fruit of the hop plant contains compounds called alpha acids. At the same time, like many plants, hops contain oils that add distinctive aromas. Scottish ales began using hops only much later. Noble hops alone, for example, come in four types.

Why the Water Matters in your Home Brewed Beer

jamesjohn — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:47:04 +0000

Water might be the most varied chemical compound on the planet. Two of the major elements are Ca, calcium and Mg, magnesium. These two add the ‘hardness’ in hard water. Ca, for example, helps produce an acid that balances the alkaline phosphates found in malts. Chlorine, Cl, for example helps keep bacteria from building up [...]

Is Pouring Beer an Art or is it a Science

jamesjohn — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:37:47 +0000

Even so simple an act as pouring a glass of beer is surrounded with controversy. When the glass is half-full, (not half-empty, there are no pessimists among beer pouring specialists!), tip the glass upright and continue to pour into the middle. Gentle pouring down the side of the tilted glass helps keep the foam down to [...]
