Where the Wild Yeasts Are! by Dr Where the wild yeasts are! by Dr. Roger Mussche Belgium 1. Introduction What means Wild Yeasts? My yeast is not wild, yours is wild. 6000-5000BC people were already brewing (fermented beverages) in the Middle East with only the yeast of the house; they called it like the place they lived at, e.g. Susa. Wild fermentation is not so strange and done all over the world : (see table 1), but unique for the Belgian type of wild fermentation is, that only the wind is helping? Even with our fruitbeers the wind and the fruits are the only tools to innoculate our wort or young lambic. 2. Our History Between Tigris and Eufrat Rivers, the first brew was made by the Sumerians in 5500BC, with grinded cereals, herbs as aniseed, cinnamon and brewers own mouthamylases (always done by women). In 1300BC in Egypt, Ramses III took more than 10.000 stone cans of beer with him to heaven. Only the Greeks and Romans were against real beer drinking because of the unpredictable effect; they thought it was good for the German barbarians, so that they would easily loose the wars. Till 800 beermaking was a ladies job, and from the early middle age (about 900) the real brewing as a commerical fact is starting. The monks were the stimulators for quality beers by reinocculation by the previous brew at more or less stable room temperatures; the top fermented beers were born. About 768 hop was introduced to Europe by the monks and in 1402 the first dark-lager was made by Mr. Naburg in Bavaria. About 1840 a more pale lager was created in Pilsen. It happened by accident, because the malt was bleached by the SO2 and CO from the brown charcoal. The real pale lager was brewed in 1920 in Belgium at the Alken Brewery. Besides the wild beers, known in Belgium as lambic since 1400, there were also: top fermented beers, bottom fermented beers, red-sour beers, white beers and so on. (Sheet 1 - Our History) 3. Lambic and Gueuze Our spontaneously fermented lambic is made within a radius of 20km around Brussels. The unique natural combination of Senne-valley (river), small hills with a lot of cherry trees, and small farms with own hops, cereals, wheat and wooden kegs with fermentation-liquids give the region a micro-flora that is kept in the air and buildings of the brewery-farms for more than 500 years. The composition of the raw materials makes the beer a unique broth (wort) for wild inocculation and fermentation. By law we must use: • min. 30% unmalted wheat • 70% malt (1/3 winter; 2/3 summer cereal) • wort-strength: 11-12 degrees plato • acidity of the lambic: min. 30mili. eq. NaOH • volatile acidity: min. 2 milli. eq. NaOH • spontaneous inocculation from open coolship is requisite (Sheet 2: comparison of raw materials) R. Mussche (1994) Where the wild yeasts are ! 1 / 8 The brewing method of lambic is the turbid mash method with the pecularity that the brewer intends to obtain a highly dextrinous wort, more appropriate for sustaining a long fermentation by a mixed flora of microorganisms and leading to the typical lambic flavor. (See Sheet 3 - brewing method) To avoid the bitter taste of hop in these acid beers, high doses of aged hop are used during the long wort boiling period. After wort boiling, it is cooled overnight in large shallow trays. During this cooling period microorganisms are introduced (Table 2,3), cooled and infected wort is then pumped into wooden casks of 700 liters. The spontaneous fermentation then starts and may last for two years. (See sheet 4 - evolution of micro flora) The fermentation is introduced by the development of wort enterobacteria. Their numbers in cooled wort may vary from brewery to brewery, but largely exceed yeast counts. These fastly growing bacteria obtain their maximal concentration (about 108 cells/ml) after one week; but they persist only for about one month because of pH lowering and ethanol production. (Sheet 5 - Evolution of ethanol, pH and ethanol) The wort enterobacteria are replaced by yeasts responsible for the main or primary alcoholic fermentation. This main fermentation is mainly done by the non-actidione-resistent yeasts (like Saccharomyces species). The real attenuation increases to 50-60% and the pH falls to about 4.0. Ethanol and normal by-products like esters are formed. The yeast population is a succession of species with increasing fermentative capacity. Saccharomyces globosus, S. dairensis, S. uvarum, S. bayanus and S. cerevisiae. The primary alcoholic fermentation takes 3-4 months. The third phase in the lambic fermentation is a lactic acid fermentation by Pediococcus cerevisiae. The lactic acid increase to 5-6 g/l and the pH falls to pH 3.2. The pediococci dominate the flora from the 3rd to the 8th month. During or after the lactic acid fermentation, the secondary alcoholic fermentation starts. This results in an increase of the real attenuation to 80%. The concentration of the ethyllactate shows a tenfold increase during this period. The yeast responsible (Sheet 6) for this phase belongs mainly to the species Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Brettanomyces lambicus. (Sheet 6 - Evolution in ethylacetate and ethyl lactate). After one year of fermentation, Brettanomyces spp and P. cerevisiae remain in suspension, but drastic changes in composition are no longer observed. The later part of the fermentation must be considered as a maturation during which the characteristic "old lambic flavour" develops. Table 4: Comparison between Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts. Pictures 1 and 2 of Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces cells. 4. Gueuze, or refermentation of Lambic in the bottles From the lambic in the wooden casks the gueuze is brewed. Whereas the lambic is always flat (no CO2), the gueuze is refermented in the bottles - method Champenoise - to obtain a sparkling sour-astringent beer. We blend 2/3 of a young lambic - full of yeasts - with 1/3 of overyears lambic - full of dextrinase - for a right amount of yeasts and available sugars or dextrines. Here is the reason for using the turbid mash method: we need enough dextrines in the lambic for the production of sugars as yeasts-substrate. The dextrinases are the hydrolysing factors for the dextrines. Two groups of microorganisms seem important: the actidione- resistant yeasts (Brettanomyces) and the lactic acid bacteria, although the yeasts die after about 10 months. The yeasts at a level of about 105 c.f.u./ml, R. Mussche (1994) Where the wild yeasts are ! 2 / 8 developed during the first month as the counts on the day of bottling were only around 102 c.f.u./ml. [c.f.u. is an abbreviation for "colony forming units" -MDS] Lactic acid bacteria at a level of around 106 c.f.u./ml remain consistently present after 5 months. At the day of the bottling their numbers were around 102/ml. Acetic acid bacteria disappeared after 3 to 4 months. At the day of the bottling their numbers were around 102/ml. Acetic acid bacteria disappeared after 3 to 4 months. Non- actidione resistant yeasts were consistently present during the first 10 months. Their numbers were not much higher than at the time of bottling (102/ml). Many of these yeasts were isolated and identified. None was a Saccharomyces, but were of the genera Candida, Torulopsis, Hansenula, Pichia and Cryptococcus. Unexpectedly, the Pediococci, which are the most unconstantly growing organisms after isolation, remain the longest- living organisms in the gueuze. 5. Fruit-beers on lambic base Nowadays lambic-fruit beers are extremely popular. The first fruit beer was made with sour-cherries. The cherries were growing around Brussels - "typical village Schaarbeek". In the year 1930 different farm breweries started cherry-kriek beer by adding 125kg crushed cherries per 600hl young lambic in the casks. The fruit-fermentation starts immediately in the casks because of the extra amount of sugar from the fruit and the high Brettanomyces counts on the fruit. The best results are with sour-wild cherries; the meat of the cherries is very red-flavoured on a big stone. The fruit is added in the cherries-season (July). Since a 20 years the cherries-beer is made all over the year with single juice from crushed defrozen fruits. The last method gives much more colored, flavoured (like almond) cherries beer. The beer with the fruits is well-balanced after another 6 months fermentation in the casks but only with sour- dark-red cherries; with a normal cherry-fruit the beer is light pink in color, and the taste- flavour is eaten by the yeast. Here again the Brettanomyces yeast is the most usefull. We obtain a refermented Kriek in the bottle by blending 2/3 of a young cherries-beer with 1/3 of an overyears cherries- beer. Other fruit beers of lambic brewers are mainly made by addition of the fresh juice to a young lambic. The problem with most of the fruits is the weakness of the flavour and color against the yeast-metabolism. Raspberries color and flavour is completely metabolished by the Brettanomyces yeast. Therefore in an artisanal lambic brewery the fruit beers are made by blending of lambic and fresh single juice before bottling. The maturation takes place in the bottle without fermentation. 6. Why are Lambic and Gueuze so unique? The most important and distinguished factor for a good lambic- gueuze is the flavour and the taste. Table 5. Substantial composition of gueuze The combination of an acid taste (pH3.3) with a very dry mouth- feeling (from high tannin-content) makes the beer very drinkable. The flavor is a combination of alcohols, esters, aldehydes and some hop-terpenoids.

MAKING MEAD BY BRAD SMITH ead, which is a fermented beverage made from honey, is one of the oldest alcoholic M beverages. Vessels found in China dating back to 7000 B.C. have organic compounds consistent with fermented honey and rice. Mead was the revered “nectar of the gods” in ancient Greece and the “drink of kings” throughout history, though it has faded to obscurity in modern times. For homebrewers, mead is a great addition to complement your other fermented offerings. Many of your guests may have never tasted a good quality mead or melomel (fruit mead), but almost everyone enjoys this sweet beverage. Using some modern methods, mead is also relatively easy and quick to make, and you can use equipment you already have on hand for homebrewing. MODERN MEADMAKING TECHNIQUES When I started homebrewing back in 1987, the fermentation of mead was a very slow process, taking 12 to 18 Photo by Charles A. Parker/Images Plus Parker/Images A.

Common Judging Mistakes 7. Suggested Reading 8. Tasting Notes 9. Test Schwarzbier 1. BJCP Style Guide, Rev 2004 4C. Schwarzbier (Black Beer) Aroma: Low to moderate malt, with low aromatic sweetness and/or hints of roast malt often apparent. The malt can be clean and neutral or rich and Munich-like, and may have a hint of caramel. The roast can be coffee-like but should never be burnt. A low noble hop aroma is optional. Clean lager yeast character (light sulfur possible) with no fruity esters or diacetyl. Appearance: Medium to very dark brown in color, often with deep ruby to garnet highlights, yet almost never truly black. Very clear. Large, persistent, tan-colored head. Flavor: Light to moderate malt flavor, which can have a clean, neutral character to a rich, sweet, Munich-like intensity. Light to moderate roasted malt flavors can give a bitter-chocolate palate that lasts into the finish, but which are never burnt. Medium-low to medium bitterness, which can last into the finish. Light to moderate noble hop flavor. Clean lager character with no fruity esters or diacetyl. Aftertaste tends to dry out slowly and linger, featuring hop bitterness with a complementary but subtle roastiness in the background. Some residual sweetness is acceptable but not required. Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Moderate to moderately high carbonation. Smooth. No harshness or astringency, despite the use of dark, roasted malts.

Thus, as beer volatile components represent the major contributors for beer overall and peculiar aroma properties, this work intends to perform an in-depth profiling of lager beer volatile metabolites and to generate new data that may contribute for molecules’ identification, by using multidimensional gas chromatography. A set of lager beers were used as case-study, and 329 volatile metabolites were determined, distributed over 8 chemical families: acids, alcohols, esters, monoterpenic compounds, norisoprenoids, sesquiterpenic compounds, sulfur compounds, and volatile phenols. From these, 96 compounds are reported for the first time in the lager beer volatile composition. Around half of them were common to all beers under study. Clustering analysis allowed a beer typing according to production system: macro- and microbrewer beers. Monoterpenic and sesquiterpenic compounds were the chemical families that showed wide range of chemical structures, which may contribute for the samples’ peculiar aroma characteristics.

  • 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.
