Brewing Mild Ales - How Low Can You Go? Brewing Mild Ales - How Low Can You Go? Society of Barley Engineers General Meting 4/5/17 Bob Mac Kay - QUAFF Agenda • Why I love this style • History & popularity of Milds • Influence on changes to Milds over time • Mild Ingredients – Pale & Dark Mild • Process particulars on brewing Milds • Mild recipes – past & present • Conclusion • Q & A 2 Why I Love This Style • Low in alcohol … but full of flavor! • Tasty with various flavor contributions – Bready flavor from base malts – Chocolate/roast flavor from dark malts (Dark Mild) • Well balanced beer leaning towards malt – Hop bitterness for balance only • Economical – simple grain bill • Easy to brew – single infusion mash • Can enjoy quickly 3 I’ve Enjoyed Some Success with Milds • Mild awards include . – Best of Division – 2006 – San Diego County Fair • English Pale Mild – Best of Show – 2011 – San Diego County Fair • English Dark Mild – 1st Place – 2016 ViaSat Homebrew Competition • Dark Mild – 1st Place – 2016 California State Homebrew Comp. • Dark Mild 4 The Highs & Lows of Milds • Today we think of Milds as the lowest strength English beers – But this was not always the case • Latter 19th century, Mild Ale stronger than . – Pale Ale or – Bitter – For example: • Burton Mild: OG of 1.080 • vs Bitter: OG of 1.064 5 Time for a Beer – Mild #1 • Nerf Herder Dark Mild - 4.5% ABV – Pizza Port San Clemente, CA – 2012 World Beer Cup Bronze Medal Winner 6 First… A Little English Brewing History From 1600 on, Early 17th & hops in most 1700s – Early 18th ales; Porters & Century – Ales 1/3 Stout Hydrometer “Mild” Beer ≠ Ale amount of hops Porters in – malt yields Meant than Beers London accurately Fresh measured 17th Century 18th Century Distinct barrel sizes Publicans All Malt Liquor All colors of Ale: 32 gal Commercial brewers- Ale-British ales Beer: 36 gal e.g., Sam Whitbread’s beers before produced – Porter & Stout hops 15th cent. depending created 1st cmml Beer-hopped upon base brewing industry in malt liquor malts used the world from European immigrants 7 A Century of Predominance • “Mild” was fairly common term in 1700s – Fresh beer that was not kept or vatted – Meant to be drunk within a few weeks • Often applied to Porter – most popular 18th century beer in England – Versus “stale” porter kept in wooden vats for 6 – 12 mos. • Tastes changed in early 1800s – More beers were fresh – called “Mild” or “Running Beers” • Mild Ale, Mild Porter, Mild Bitter • By mid 1800s, all ales were fresh beers – Term “Mild” to denote fresh beer fell out of use – Kept beers were now termed “Stock Ales” • By 1850, Mild Ale overtook Porter as England’s favorite beer – A spot it held for over 100 years (1850 to 1960)! Roger Prost- Mild Ale: It’s Not Dead Yet – Brew Your Own, September 2005 8 Mild Designations- circa 1830s • Milds were designated X through XXXX – Exact origin is unclear • Tax / barrel of strong ale before 1830 = 10 shillings = X?

  • Beer Polyphenols—Bitterness, Astringency, and Off-Flavors
    beverages Review Beer Polyphenols—Bitterness, Astringency, and Off-Flavors Kristina Habschied 1,* , Iztok Jože Košir 2 , Vinko Krstanovi´c 1 , Goran Kumri´c 3 and Krešimir Mastanjevi´c 1 1 Faculty of Food Technology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, F. Kuhaˇca20, 31000 Osijek, Croatia; [email protected] (V.K.); [email protected] (K.M.) 2 Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing, Cesta Žalskega Tabora 2, 3310 Žalec, Slovenia; [email protected] 3 European Food Safety Authority, Via Carlo Magno 1a, 43126 Parma, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +385-31-224-300 Abstract: The acceptance of beer among consumers is most influenced by the taste and aroma. Polyphenols are widely responsible for both. Whereas polyphenols do not always result in a positive flavor and taste, they can surely impart certain off-flavors, which will be mentioned in this paper. However, the aftertaste is an important component of the beer-tasting experience and acceptance. The aftertaste, including astringency, may largely influence consumers’ consumption preference and behavior. Bitterness is one of the main, desirable characteristics of beer, but to an untrained consumer, it can often be mistaken with astringency. This review aims to describe the differences between these two properties. Both attributes derive from the same beer components, polyphenols from barley and hop, but there is a distinctive difference between them. To understand the complexity of bitterness and astringency, polyphenols behavior, characteristics, and stability during the brewing process are also described in this review.
