  • Barrels, Foeders, Wood Fermentation & Aging
    Barrels, Foeders, Wood Fermentation & Aging. BY CHRIS MEADOWS, BREWMASTER @ ELKMONT EXCHANGE, KNOXVILLE TN Why ferment/age on wood? In modern day, the intention of fermenting/aging beer on wood is to impact the character and flavor of the beer in a desired manner. This process should yield a more complex and unique product than before its transformation. Why ferment/age on wood? What type of influences are we talking about? - original/natural - toast, char (ranging from light to heavy) - secondary characteristics like wine, ports, or spirits Wine has a softer profile, which allows yeast or grains to shine, while spirits like bourbon may be overpowering and a dominant contributor. Why ferment/age on wood? Oak is full of many flavorful and aromatic compounds and chemicals that, when added to beer, create another level of depth and complexity. Why ferment/age on wood? - Some styles of beer are better suited for aging vs others - Not all wood aged beers are high gravity - Some people view wood as the fifth major ingredient in beer making - Wood presents an ideal breeding ground for wild yeast and bacteria Why ferment/age on wood? Set intention. If you’re going for a clean beer with no additional fermentation, the barrels may need to be steamed for sanitation purposes. If you’re going for a wild or sour beer, wild yeasts and/or bacteria may need to be selected for a secondary fermentation to begin. Why ferment/age on wood? - Brewers favor oak as the primary wood used for producing barrels for its: - Strength - Resistance to decay - Water tight, yet slightly porous to air - Relatively high level of tannins The right amount of tannins can add bitterness and mouthfeel.

  • Beer and Malt Handbook: Beer Types (PDF)
    1. BEER TYPES The world is full of different beers, divided into a vast array of different types. Many classifications and precise definitions of beers having been formulated over the years, ours are not the most rigid, since we seek simply to review some of the most important beer types. In addition, we present a few options for the malt used for each type-hints for brewers considering different choices of malt when planning a new beer. The following beer types are given a short introduction to our Viking Malt malts. TOP FERMENTED BEERS: • Ales • Stouts and Porters • Wheat beers BOTTOM FERMENTED BEERS: • Lager • Dark lager • Pilsner • Bocks • Märzen 4 BEER & MALT HANDBOOK. BACKGROUND Known as the ‘mother’ of all pale lagers, pilsner originated in Bohemia, in the city of Pilsen. Pilsner is said to have been the first golden, clear lager beer, and is well known for its very soft brewing water, which PILSNER contributes to its smooth taste. Nowadays, for example, over half of the beer drunk in Germany is pilsner. DESCRIPTION Pilsner was originally famous for its fine hop aroma and strong bitterness. Its golden color and moderate alcohol content, and its slightly lower final attenuation, give it a smooth malty taste. Nowadays, the range of pilsner beers has extended in such a way that the less hopped and lighter versions are now considered ordinary lagers. TYPICAL ANALYSIS OF PILSNER Original gravity 11-12 °Plato Alcohol content 4.5-5.2 % volume C olor6 -12 °EBC Bitterness 2 5-40 BU COMMON MALT BASIS Pale Pilsner Malt is used according to the required specifications.

  • Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout and Lindemans Framboise
    For That Occasion Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout and Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic Chocolate & Raspberries For That Occasion! Samuel Smith’s Brewery - Organic Chocolate Stout Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery at Tadcaster, one of England’s few remaining independent breweries, was founded in 1758 and is the oldest in Yorkshire. Water from the original well is used to brew all beers, and every drop of ale is still fermented in traditional ‘Yorkshire Squares’ - open-topped vessels made of stone. Each Smith beer is a benchmark for its style, but Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout has been the most dramatic beer introduction in the history of the brewery. Chocolate is beautifully melded to the full, roasty flavour of stout: it’s deep, aromatic, & satisfying; a full body with fruity notes from the Sam Smith yeast strain support the lush chocolate aroma and flavour. USDA Certified Organic by the UK Soil Association. 18.7 oz. Organic Chocolate Stout 12 oz. Organic Chocolate Stout 4-pk 12 oz. Organic Chocolate Stout Lindemans Brewery - Framboise Raspberry Lambic Since 1822, Lindemans Brewery has been the benchmark producer of one of the world's rarest and most unusual beers: "spontaneously fermented" all-natural Lambic Ale. After brewing a wort from locally-grown wheat & barley, lambic brewers allow wild, airborne yeast to ferment the beer - no yeast is added by the brewers. Complex, unique flavours result from this magic mixture of multiple wild yeast strains; the addition of fresh fruit juice with light sweetening lead to a beautifully balanced, elegant masterpiece. Lambics can be produced only in Belgium's Senne River Valley, west of Brussels.
