The American Homebrewers Association has worked on behalf of the homebrewing community since 1978 and celebrates a membership of more than 46,000 homebrewers. The American Homebrewers Association organizes events including Homebrew Con and National Homebrew Competition. The AHA also publishes Zymurgy magazine and the Zymurgy app. The AHA is part of the Brewers Association, whose Brewers Publications division is the largest publisher of contemporary and relevant brewing literature for today’s craft brewers and homebrewers. A MESSAGE FROM THE AHA DIRECTOR Welcome to Homebrew Con Baltimore, the 38th Annual American Homebrewers Association National Homebrewers Conference! It’s great to be back in Charm City. There’s a lot to see and do right here in the Inner Harbor: check out the About the Area page on HomebrewCon.org for a list of attractions. There’s also a whole lot of AHA Member Deals locations around Baltimore, so be sure to make use of your member card and save money while you are here. A great thing about being in Baltimore is that years ago the state of Maryland enacted a law specifically for the National Homebrewers Conference, which makes it very easy to host Homebrew Con here. Many thanks to Baltimore craft beer pioneer Hugh Sisson, founder of Heavy Seas Beer, for championing that legislation. The law allows us to serve two-ounce samples of donated beer or 1½ ounces of donated mead or cider. Please be sure to thank the brewers, pro and amateur, for their donations. While Homebrew Con is undoubtedly the most fun event you will attend all year, some serious education happens here. With 64 seminars to choose from—a new record for Homebrew Con—you are sure to leave with an even higher beer IQ than you arrived with. Homebrew Con features six simultaneous seminars, but not to worry—even though you can’t get to them all, as AHA members you can access all of the presentations online after the conference. Thursday late afternoon, we have our Homebrew Con welcome toast featuring Dogfish Head Craft Brewery’s Bier de Provence. Immediately following the toast we have the conference keynote address, presented by Dogfish Head Founder and President Sam Calagione. Thursday night, join fellow attendees for a private Homebrew Con beer festival that we’re calling the Craft Beer Kickoff Party. This event features local craft breweries and Maryland homebrew clubs sharing their finest brews with their most dedicated fans: you. Thank you to all of the participating brewers, and thanks to our Craft Beer Kickoff Party sponsor White Labs, Inc., for making this event possible. The highlight for many Homebrew Con attendees will no doubt be Friday night’s Club Night. If you have never experienced a Homebrew Con Club Night, you’re in for an evening you’ll never forget because there’s simply nothing else like it. This year’s Club Night includes 84 different homebrew clubs with decked-out club booths and costumes to match, and a more diverse and eclectic selection of beer, mead, and cider than you’ll find anywhere else. Club Night highlights what homebrewing is all about: the creativity that only comes from brewing at home. Many thanks to Club Night sponsor MoreBeer! for making our favorite night of the year possible. 4 HOMEBREW CON Throughout the conference, you can check out the Homebrew Expo, where you’ll find more than 70 vendors spread across a 60,000-square-foot hall. Here you will discover the latest innovations in equipment and the newest ingredients on the market to help you brew your best beer ever. You’ll also find craft breweries pouring their beers in the Expo. And of course, since this is a homebrewers’ conference, the Expo is also home to the Homebrew Con Social Club, where homebrew clubs take turns serving their tastiest brews. We’ll close out Homebrew Con with the Saturday night Grand Banquet and National Homebrew Competition Awards Ceremony, brought to you by CraftBeer.com, where guests will enjoy a beer-paired meal designed by Brewers Association executive chef Adam Dulye. Dinner will be accompanied by locally brewed craft beers. After dessert, be prepared to cheer on the winners of the largest beer competition in the world. Oh, and feel free to bring your homebrew into the banquet hall if you so choose: that’s totally legal in Maryland. Please help minimize our impact on the environment and keep costs down by using your commemorative tasting glass in lieu of disposable plastic cups throughout the conference. Be sure to keep your glass with you at all times, as great homebrew awaits you at every turn! Savor The Flavor, and please drink responsibly. Thousands of different beers, meads, and ciders are available to sample at Homebrew Con. You cannot possibly try them all, so please don’t try! Throughout the conference, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and take the time to eat regular meals. You will undoubtedly have a better overall conference experience if you pace yourself. While you are savoring the flavor, look out for your friends as well and help us make sure everyone has a great experience. A lot of dedicated people worked hard to pull off this event. Please be sure to thank the many volunteers on the local organizing committee, headed by co-chairs Brent MacAloney, Bob Rouse, and Les White. Thanks also to the National Homebrew Competition organizers, judges and stewards, all of our sponsors and exhibitors, the beer services crew, our safety team, and my totally awesome colleagues on the staff of the Brewers Association/American Homebrewers Association.

  • 2015 Festival Organizers and Staff
    Welcome from the President ELCOME TO THE 29TH ANNUAL Great Taste of the Midwest. At a time when we probably should be over- whelmed by the explosive growth of the craft beer industry, we are too busy trying to figure Wout how to make this event a better experience for all. To that end, we are excited that we have maintained the same foot- print as we’ve had in past years, but have added more brewer space, by moving our merch tents and adding a few new tents to a previously restricted staff only area of the park (inside the “loop road”). This allows us bring in some new brewers while continuing to bring back the brewers that you come to expect to see at the Great Taste of the Midwest. I would like to thank Great Taste Chairman, Mark Garthwaite and the multitude of volunteers that make this event happen. We are all very proud that this is the only event of this size that is run by a 100% volunteer effort. Their passion for beer is a large part of what makes a volunteer effort of this size a success. I would also like to thank all of the Brewers that come to the Great Taste of the Midwest. All of “our” passion for beer flows from their passion. As the event has grown and produced more return Brewers each year, we’ve come to think of the Brewers as family coming home every year on the second Saturday in August. Sadly, I have to acknowledge the passing of several MHTG members since the last Great Taste.

  • Saccharomyces Eubayanus, the Missing Link to Lager Beer Yeasts
    MICROBE PROFILE Sampaio, Microbiology 2018;164:1069–1071 DOI 10.1099/mic.0.000677 Microbe Profile: Saccharomyces eubayanus, the missing link to lager beer yeasts Jose Paulo Sampaio* Graphical abstract Ecology and phylogeny of Saccharomyces eubayanus. (a) The ecological niche of S. eubayanus in the Southern Hemisphere – Nothofagus spp. (southern beech) and sugar-rich fructifications (stromata) of its fungal biotrophic parasite Cyttaria spp., that can attain the size of golf balls. (b) Schematic representation of the phylogenetic position of S. eubayanus within the genus Saccharomyces based on whole-genome sequences. Occurrence in natural environments (wild) or participation in different human-driven fermentations is highlighted, together with the thermotolerant or cold-tolerant nature of each species and the origins of S. pastorianus, the lager beer hybrid. Abstract Saccharomyces eubayanus was described less than 10 years ago and its discovery settled the long-lasting debate on the origins of the cold-tolerant yeast responsible for lager beer fermentation. The largest share of the genetic diversity of S. eubayanus is located in South America, and strains of this species have not yet been found in Europe. One or more hybridization events between S. eubayanus and S. cerevisiae ale beer strains gave rise to S. pastorianus, the allopolyploid yeasts responsible for lager beer production worldwide. The identification of the missing progenitor of lager yeast opened new avenues for brewing yeast research. It allowed not only the selective breeding of new lager strains, but revealed also a wild yeast with interesting brewing abilities so that a beer solely fermented by S. eubayanus is currently on the market.

    The Devil in the Details: Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Diastaticus and Advanced Techniques for its Detection Aimee L. Garlit, PhD Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Monday June 5, 2017 Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Diastaticus • First described by Andrews and Gilliland in 1952 • Originally named Saccharomyces diastaticus, later re-classified as a variant of S. cerevisiae • Named for diastatic properties (ability to cleave dextrin) • Also observed to produce phenolic aromas and flavors • Similar cell morphology to Gilliland, RB. Saccharomyces diastaticus Belgian strains – a starch-fermenting yeast. J. Inst. Brew. Vol. 72. 1966. A yeast by any other name… • Not always a contaminant • Can be used intentionally for a dry Belgian ale • Use caution when using attenuative Belgian strains Diastaticus contamination can wreak havoc • Ability to ferment dextrins leads to superattenuation • If attenuation does not finish in fermenter -> exploding packages • Contaminated beer will usually be out of spec for ABV (high), AE (low) and have phenolic aromas and flavors • Impossible to blend off out- of-spec beer unless pasteurizing An ever more common issue • Several product recalls and recoveries associated with this organism • Left Hand recall – nitro Milk Stout bottles • Bell’s Winter White – discussed at CBC 2017 • Dogfish encountered in late 2016. Suspicious colonies and puzzling sequencing data • Namaste White, a Belgian witbier • Observed growth on LCSM late in propagation • Sent for sequencing and received: Let’s keep an eye on it… • Canceled harvest

University Street, Peoria, IL 61604, USA Received 22 April 2003; received in revised form 23 June 2003; accepted 25 June 2003 First published online Abstract Genera currently assigned to the Saccharomycetaceae have been defined from phenotype, but this classification does not fully correspond with species groupings determined from phylogenetic analysis of gene sequences. The multigene sequence analysis of Kurtzman and Robnett [FEMS Yeast Res. 3 (2003) 417^432] resolved the family Saccharomycetaceae into 11 well-supported clades. In the present study, the taxonomy of the Saccharomyctaceae is evaluated from the perspective of the multigene sequence analysis, which has resulted in reassignment of some species among currently accepted genera, and the proposal of the following five new genera: Lachancea, Nakaseomyces, Naumovia, Vanderwaltozyma and Zygotorulaspora. ß 2003 Federation of European Microbiological Societies.

In a 3-day culture, it shows spherical to ellipsoidal morphology appearing in single, paired cells or short clusters. It is a teleomorph yeast with 1–4 spherical ascospores and it is characterized by a low production of volatile acidity that helps to control global acetic acid levels in mixed or sequential inoculations with either S. cerevisiae or other non-Saccharomyces species. It has a medium fermentative power, so it must be used in sequential or mixed inoculations with S. cerevisiae to get dry wines. It shows a high production of lactic acid able to affect strongly wine pH, sometimes decreasing wine pH by 0.5 units or more during fermentation. Most of the acidification is produced at the beginning of fermentation facilitating the effect in sequential fermentations because it is more competitive at low alcoholic degree.
