  • ADVANCED ABV Content Contributed by Jenny Parker, Imperial Beverage
    ADVANCED ABV Content contributed by Jenny Parker, Imperial Beverage Alcohol by volume (i.e. ABV, or alc/vol) is a standard measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in an alcoholic beverage. The ABV standard is used worldwide. DRINK TYPICAL ABV Fruit juice (naturally occurring) less than 0.1% Low-alcohol beer 0.0%–1.2% Kombucha 0.5%–1.5% Cider 2%–8.5% Beer 2%–12% (usually 4%–6%) Barley Wine (strong ale) 8%–15% Mead 8%–16% Wine 9%–16% (most often 12.5%–14.5%) Dessert Wine 14%–25% Alcohol by volume states what portion of the total volume of liquid is alcohol. To determine the ABV of a beer, a brewer typically uses what's called a hydrometer, which is an instrument that aids in measuring the density of liquid in relation to water. (It essentially free-floats in a cylinder or liquid.) The hydrometer will be calibrated to read 1.000 in water (at 60°F), and the denser the liquid (example: add sugar to the liquid), the higher the hydrometer reading. Before yeast cells are introduced to ferment beer, the liquid is called "wort” (pronounced wert), and it's full of all kinds of sugars that were previously extracted from the grain. A brewer will take a hydrometer measurement of the wort (at 60°F) to determine what's called the original gravity (OG). Then yeast is pitched into the wort, and fermentation begins. As the yeast cells eat the sugar in the wort, they create two wonderful by-products: carbonation (CO2) and alcohol.

  • Yeast and Beer UNIT
    1 Dipl. Brew. Module 2: Unit 2.7 – The Properties of Beer – Section 2.7.1 MODULE 2: Yeast and Beer UNIT 2.7: The Properties of Beer SECTION 2.7.1: Beer Hazes ABSTRACT: Appearance and taste are the two sensory attributes on which beer consumers judge the acceptability of the product and these parameters may be used to evaluate critically every glass of beer drunk. The flavour attributes are considered in detail in section 2.8, but in this unit we will address the key features of appearance, viz. clarity (haze stability), head formation and retention (foam stability), colour and lack of gushing! These parameters can be physically measured and, thereby, controlled. LEARNING OUTCOMES: On completion and comprehension of this unit you will be able to: 1. Describe the nature and typical composition of hazes. 2. Know the scientific principles behind non-biological haze formation. 3. Explain the measurement of non-biological hazes. 4. Understand how accelerated haze formation can predict shelf life. PREREQUISITE UNDERSTANDING: To have studied Section 2.5 © The Institute of Brewing and Distilling (Dipl.

  • Beer Foam Physics and the Art of Dispensing Beer
    The Perfect Pour: Beer Foam Physics and the Art of Dispensing Beer R. J. H. Emrich University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2J 3G1∗ (Dated: July 20, 2006) Though it may seem trivial and unimportant, the complexities of the college males alcoholic beverage of choice, deserve further inspection. The physics associated with dispensing and consuming beer provide sources of interest throughout the community. The production of the beer itself is related more directly to the chemistry and microbiology of the concoction, and as such will not be covered in this paper. Beyond the brewing process however, there is a great deal of physics involved. Concerning ourselves solely with the bubbles contained in the beer we will see that viscosity, gas content, relative density and the surface tension are four parameters which show major importance. The theory and equations governing head formation, sustainability and decay are presented and discussed. I. INTRODUCTION for exclusive use by a brewer.

  • BEER 101 INTRODUCTION You Had a Hard Day at Work and It’S Been a Long Week
    BEER 101 INTRODUCTION You had a hard day at work and it’s been a long week. At the moment, all you want is to be horizontal on your couch with no plans in the immediate future. It’s finally 5 pm and you are in a full on fast walk to your car when your boss yells from the door, “Hey, don’t forget your keg!” That’s right, in this hypothetical scenario, instead of bi-weekly checks, your 9 to 5 job pays you in beer. BEER SINCE WHEN? Although this situation seems far-fetched and completely unrealistic in this day and age, it hasn’t always been. The history of beer can be dated all the way back to 4300 BCE. During this period, beer was not only used as wages for workers, it was also present in many medical prescriptions. It may be hard to believe that your favorite bold and refreshing beverage was being consumed before the Middle Ages, but believe it. Recipes for at least twenty types of beer were found on Babylonian clay tablets, making beer the oldest recorded recipe in the world. Beer didn’t always resemble the complex, hoppy, and flavorful IPAs we are accustomed to today. The beer being brewed during this era would actually be considered harsh by today’s standards. These beers were made with things like dates, pomegranates, and other herbs. The Middle Ages, around 500 - 1000 CE, is when Europe became the beer loving continent we know today. In this era, beer became widespread in Europe and started to look and taste like the modern beer that we are familiar with in the present-day.
