To Many Beer Lovers, Christian Monks
The history of monks and brewing To many beer lovers, Christian monks are the archetypes of brewers. It’s not that monks invented beer: Archeologists find it in both China and Egypt around 5000 B.C., long before any Christian monks existed. And it’s not that the purpose of monks is to brew beer: Their purpose is to seek and to serve God, through a specific form of spiritual life. But if monks did not invent beer, and brewing is not their defining vocation, they did play a major role in Western brewing from at least the second half of the first millennium. Let’s take a broad look at how. First, some background. Christian monasticism has its formal roots in the fourth century, when the Roman Empire was still at its height. The Empire suffered serious decline during the fifth century, the era in which St. Benedict lived (c. 480 - March 21, 547). As the social structure of the Roman Empire crumbled, monasteries organized under the Rule of Benedict emerged as centers of agriculture, lodging, education, literature, art, etc. When Charlemagne established the Holy Roman Empire in the year 800, he relied on monasteries to help weave its social and economic infrastructure – and he promoted the Rule of Benedict as the standard for monastic organization. Against this brief sketch of history, we can begin to observe the relationship between monks and brewing. In ancient days, within the Roman Empire as throughout the world, brewing was typically done in the home. This practice carried into monasteries, which had to provide drink and nourishment for the monks, as well as for guests, pilgrims, and the poor. -
What Does Your Beer Really Cost?
WHat DOES YOUR Beer Really COST? Establishing an Effective Beer Costing Program in the Brewpub Your brewpub has been open a few years, you’re making award-winning beers, you’re a centerpiece of the community, and you’re even making a profit. Employees are happy, the bank is happy, investors are happy, and you’ve managed to get your work week down to a manageable 70 hours. Labor expenses are steady and manageable, food cost is at the industry average, and beer cost is “around” 10 percent. That’s good, right? Right? If you don’t have a clear view of the cost of your beer, you may be pouring dollars down the drain (literally). A well-established cost analysis will not only provide valuable data on the real cost of selling your suds, but may also identify areas of opportunity such as purchasing, labor and compensation analysis, and reducing waste. Many different methods exist for calculating beer cost, and in this article I’ll describe the ones I find valuable, in addition to a few I don’t (and why).

Modification of the yeast dough recipe consisted of replacing wheat flour (type 500) with whole-wheat flour (type 2000). Energy value and the composition of basic nutrients were assessed for every tested dish. The study was conducted on 50 people with an average age of 21.7 1.1 years, and an average body mass index of 21.2 2.0 kg/m2. The GI of the analysed ± ± food products depended on the total carbohydrate content, dietary fibre content, water content, and energy value. Modification of yeast food products by replacing wheat flour (type 500) with whole-wheat flour (type 2000) contributed to the reduction of their GI and GL values, respectively.

Sensory Evaluation and Staling of Bread Produced by Mixed Starter of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and L.Plantarum
J. Food and Dairy Sci., Mansoura Univ., Vol. 5 (4): 221 - 233, 2014 Sensory evaluation and staling of bread produced by mixed starter of saccharomyces cerevisiae and l.plantarum Swelim, M. A. / Fardous M. Bassouny / S. A. El-Sayed / Nahla M. M. Hassan / Manal S. Ibrahim. * Botany Department, Faculty of science, Banha University. ** Agricultural Microbiology Department, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt. ***Food Technology Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt. ABSTRACT Impact of processed conditions and type of starter cultivars on characteristics of wheat dough bread by using mixed starter cultivars of Sacch. cerevisiae and L. plantarum was estimated. L. plantarum seemed to be more effective in combination with Sacch. cerevisiae on the dough volume. Dough produced by starter containing L. plantarum characterized with lower PH and higher total titratable acidity (TTA) and moisture content, in comparison with control treatment. Highly significant differences in aroma and crumb texture were recorded with bread produced by starter culture containing L. plantarum. The obtained results also revealed significant differences in bread firmness which reflected the staling and its rate among the tested treatments after 1, 3, 5 and 6 days during storage time at room temperature. Data also confirmed a processing technique using L. planturium mixed with Sacch.cerevisia to enhance organoleptic properties of produced bread. INTRODUCTION Cereal fermentation is one of the oldest biotechnological processes, dating back to ancient Egypt, where both beer and bread were produced by using yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Clarke and Arendt, (2005). Starters composed of specific individual LAB, or mixed with yeasts, became available a few years ago allowing the production of a full sourdough in one- stage process. -
AP-42, CH 9.13.4: Yeast Production
9.13.4 Yeast Production 9.13.4.1 General1 Baker’s yeast is currently manufactured in the United States at 13 plants owned by 6 major companies. Two main types of baker’s yeast are produced, compressed (cream) yeast and dry yeast. The total U. S. production of baker’s yeast in 1989 was 223,500 megagrams (Mg) (245,000 tons). Of the total production, approximately 85 percent of the yeast is compressed (cream) yeast, and the remaining 15 percent is dry yeast. Compressed yeast is sold mainly to wholesale bakeries, and dry yeast is sold mainly to consumers for home baking needs. Compressed and dry yeasts are produced in a similar manner, but dry yeasts are developed from a different yeast strain and are dried after processing. Two types of dry yeast are produced, active dry yeast (ADY) and instant dry yeast (IDY). Instant dry yeast is produced from a faster-reacting yeast strain than that used for ADY. The main difference between ADY and IDY is that ADY has to be dissolved in warm water before usage, but IDY does not. 9.13.4.2 Process Description1 Figure 9.13.4-1 is a process flow diagram for the production of baker’s yeast. The first stage of yeast production consists of growing the yeast from the pure yeast culture in a series of fermentation vessels. The yeast is recovered from the final fermentor by using centrifugal action to concentrate the yeast solids. The yeast solids are subsequently filtered by a filter press or a rotary vacuum filter to concentrate the yeast further. -

Efficient Yeast Management
Efficient Yeast Management Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 1 Why is „good“ yeast management necessary? What are the possible consequences of “bad” yeast management? • Decrease in fermentation speed → capacity problems • Differences in the final attenuation degree determined in the lab and the attenuation degree of the final product → economics, product “safety” • Longer maturation times → diacetyl reduction • Slow pH drop → contamination, non-biological stability, filtrability • Beer aroma profile changes → concentration ratio of HA to esters changes in favour of HA • Foam stability decreases • Turbidity problems → “invisible haze” caused by Glycogen excretion • “Autolysis taste” → excretion of e.g. fatty acids • Less formation of reductones → bad flavour stability Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 2 Yeast Management Pure Culture Propagation Pitching Yeast- Management Fermentation Cropping Treatment Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 3 Ways of Yeast in a Brewery Laboratory culture Propagation Beer Pitching Aeration Wort Pretreatment Main fermentation Post Yeast storage fermentation Sieving Deposits Acidification Yeast Aeration treatment Harvested yeast Beer recovery Excess yeast Beer recovery Waste yeast Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 4 YEAST PROPAGATION PRINCIPLES of HANSEN’S propagation 1883 Emil Christian Hansen from Denmark first managed it to propagate yeast cultures.

Sourdough” Became a Nickname for Gold Prospectors, As the Bread Was a Major Part of Their Meal
“Sourdough” Became A Nickname For Gold Prospectors, As The Bread Was A Major Part Of Their Meal National Sourdough Bread Day on April 1st recognizes one of the world’s oldest leavened breads. Most likely the first form of leavening available to bakers, it is believed sourdough originated in Ancient Egyptian times around 1500 BC. During the European Middle Ages, it also remained the usual form of leavening. As part of the California Gold Rush, sourdough was the principal bread made in Northern California and is still a part of the culture of San Francisco today. The bread was so common at that time the word “sourdough” became a nickname for the gold prospectors. In The Yukon and Alaska, a “sourdough” is also a nickname given to someone who has spent an entire winter north of the Arctic Circle. It refers to their tradition of protecting their sourdough during the coldest months by keeping it close to their body. The sourdough tradition was also carried into Alaska and western Canadian territories during the Klondike Gold Rush. San Francisco sourdough is the most famous sourdough bread made in the United States today. In contrast to sourdough production in other areas of the country, the San Francisco variety has remained in continuous production since 1849, with some bakeries able to trace their starters back to California’s Gold Rush period. The liquid alcohol layer referred to as ‘hooch’ comes from a Native American tribe called Hoochinoo. The Hoochinoo used to trade supplies with Alaskan gold miners for the ‘hooch’ off the top of their sourdough starters. -
