  • 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.

Bartender Learner Guide The Bartender 00:45 Overview *Introduction from Kim Spence, our resident Sommelier, Mixologist, Barman* I thought that working as a barman would be a fun, a great way to make some money, but I didn’t consider it a career. I was sure that this was a trade people outgrew. I mean, who would want to work in the liquor industry their entire life? At some point I would have to grow up and get a real job. Wouldn’t I? There were just so many aspects of the job that I loved. I was working with ingredients created by masters; people that had dedicated their lives and generations to making something special. Every time I picked up a great bottle I felt honoured to pour it. I was able to hone techniques – the basics of bartending – while making it look effortless. I tend to throw myself into things no matter what I do, so I started reading about wine, beer, liquor and spirits; I realized that this industry isn’t new and is certainly not a passing fad.

  • Coffeecon Online Live March 6, 2021 Tourism and Arts Commission Report
    CoffeeCon Online Live March 6, 2021 Tourism and Arts Commission Report With the goal of increasing tourism to Warrenville, CoffeeCon’s in‐person event went online with a live event. This event broadcast live from Warrenville, IL, Chicago, IL, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and Oakland, CA, featuring fourteen top coffee experts sharing their brewing techniques. This was a technically ambitious project. CoffeeCon used live multi‐camera video crews in each location. We succeeded in moving beyond a zoom call platform look. Our program looked like a live network television show because of different camera angles, professional lighting, graphic animations, all in high definition (blu‐ray quality) in each location. This made the entire program watchable over its eight hours of broadcasting. Live streaming is the broadcasting of a real‐time, live video to people over the internet. The greatest and the most powerful benefit of live streaming is that people consume content on your time, and not on their time. This means that you are only engaging with people who care about you, your brand, and people that find your content entertaining and useful. Live streaming offers you a direct conversation with your customers and target audience and with each other with a live‐chat feature. This makes your audience feel more connected to your brand. The topic in this case was coffee. The brand was Warrenville. Between presentations we showcased Warrenville businesses, city government, events, and the natural beauty of the area. We also highlighted all six Warrenville

  • On Premise Beer Service
    INTERMEDIATE ON PREMISE BEER SERVICE Content contributed by Jenny Parker, Imperial Beverage Walk into nearly any establishment that serves beer these days and you’re likely to find draught beer for sale. Of course, you find well-known brands served through familiar taps, but these days you’ll also see fancy options like nitro beers and even some bars with highly carbonated German Weissbier and also English-style “cask” ales. Glassware varies from run-of-the-mill pints to shapely half-liters and diminutive snifters with every possible shape and size in between. PROPER BEER SERVICE If sold in a bottle, a craft beer should be poured at the table by the server into a properly-sized, room-temperature glass. It is smart for the server to present the craft beer to the customer in a manor somewhat similar to a bottle of wine. These are world-class artisan beers and benefit from being handled with care and respect. (If sold from draught, see below for proper pouring techniques.) The server presents the bottle (while still holding it) and addresses the customer by restating the name of the beer that was just ordered. After the customer has a moment to see the label clearly, the server opens the bottle and pours the beer. Repeat this procedure with each customer at the table who ordered a beer. As in wine service, the bottle-opening ritual can add a bit more pizzazz to the service/sale and builds the tip. Hearing the ‘popshh’ of the bottle cap lifting followed by the ‘sszzz’ of the pouring truly adds another welcomed dimension to the customer’s craft beer experience.
