PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. " Since the passage of the " Free Alcohol Act there has been a constantly increasing demand for information as to the manufacture of industrial alcohol. This, with the favorable reception ac- corded to the first edition of this book has lead the publishers to bring out a second edition. The entire volume has been carefully revised and not only has the original text been amplified but new chapters have been added explaining the most modem and approved methods and appliances both as used in Europe and in this country. An- other valuable feature of the present volume is the collection of U. S. de-naturing formulas covering the special denaturants necessitated by the various arts and by the Government requirements. The chapters on modem distilling apparatus rectifiers and modem plants have been very carefully pre- pared in order to give the reader a clear idea of the various types of apparatus in use to-day and of their general place in a distillery system. -
The Perceptual Categorisation of Blended and Single Malt Scotch Whiskies Barry C
Smith et al. Flavour (2017) 6:5 DOI 10.1186/s13411-017-0056-x RESEARCH Open Access The perceptual categorisation of blended and single malt Scotch whiskies Barry C. Smith1*, Carole Sester2, Jordi Ballester3 and Ophelia Deroy1 Abstract Background: Although most Scotch whisky is blended from different casks, a firm distinction exists in the minds of consumers and in the marketing of Scotch between single malts and blended whiskies. Consumers are offered cultural, geographical and production reasons to treat Scotch whiskies as falling into the categories of blends and single malts. There are differences in the composition, method of distillation and origin of the two kinds of bottled spirits. But does this category distinction correspond to a perceptual difference detectable by whisky drinkers? Do experts and novices show differences in their perceptual sensitivities to the distinction between blends and single malts? To test the sensory basis of this distinction, we conducted a series of blind tasting experiments in three countries with different levels of familiarity with the blends versus single malts distinction (the UK, the USA and France). In each country, expert and novice participants had to perform a free sorting task on nine whiskies (four blends, four single malts, one single grain, plus one repeat) first by olfaction, then by tasting. Results: Overall, no reliable perceptual distinction was revealed in the tasting condition between blends and single malts by experts or novices when asked to group whiskies according to their similarities and differences. There was nonetheless a clear effect of expertise, with experts showing a more reliable classification of the repeat sample. -
Brewing Grains What Is Malt?
612.724.4514 [email protected] www.aperfectpint.net Brewing Grains Brewing grains are the heart and soul of beer. Next to water they make up the bulk of brewing ingredients. Brewing grains provide the sugars that yeast ferment. They are the primary source of beer color and a major contributor to beer flavor, aroma, and body. Proteins in the grains give structure to beer foam and minerals deliver many of the nutrients essential to yeast growth. By far the most common brewing grain is malted barley or barley malt, but a variety of other grains, both malted and unmalted, are also used including wheat, corn, rice, rye, and oats. What is Malt? To put it plainly, malt is cereal grain that has undergone the malting process. In the simplest terms, malting is the controlled germination and kilning of grain. Malting develops the diastatic enzymes that accomplish the conversion of starch to sugar during brewing and begins a limited process of conversion that makes the starches more accessible to the brewer. Malting also gives brewing grains their distinctive colors and flavors. Only the highest quality grain, called brewing grade, is selected for malting. Brewing grade grain is selected for, among other things, high starch content, uniform kernel size, low nitrogen content, and high diastatic power. Diastatic power is the ability of grains to break down complex starch molecules into simpler sugars for brewing. It is determined by the amount of diastatic enzymes in the grain. Barley is the most commonly malted grain, but other grains like wheat and rye are also malted. -

Scotch Whisky has been made for more than 500 years and uses just a few natural raw materials - water, cereals and yeast. Scotland is home to over 130 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest MAP OF concentration of whisky producers in the world. Many of the Scotch Whisky distilleries featured on this map bottle some of their production for sale as Single Malt (i.e. the product of one distillery) or Single Grain Whisky.

The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages
The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages © 2016 Robert A. Freitas Jr. All Rights Reserved. Abstract. Specialized nanofactories will be able to manufacture specific products or classes of products very efficiently and inexpensively. This paper is the first serious scaling study of a nanofactory designed for the manufacture of a specific food product, in this case high-value-per- liter alcoholic beverages. The analysis indicates that a 6-kg desktop appliance called the Fine Spirits Synthesizer, aka. the “Whiskey Machine,” consuming 300 W of power for all atomically precise mechanosynthesis operations, along with a commercially available 59-kg 900 W cryogenic refrigerator, could produce one 750 ml bottle per hour of any fine spirit beverage for which the molecular recipe is precisely known at a manufacturing cost of about $0.36 per bottle, assuming no reduction in the current $0.07/kWh cost for industrial electricity. The appliance’s carbon footprint is a minuscule 0.3 gm CO2 emitted per bottle, more than 1000 times smaller than the 460 gm CO2 per bottle carbon footprint of conventional distillery operations today. The same desktop appliance can intake a tiny physical sample of any fine spirit beverage and produce a complete molecular recipe for that product in ~17 minutes of run time, consuming <25 W of power, at negligible additional cost.

How to Malt Barley (Or Wheat) for Beer (Or Whisky/Whiskey) I
How to Malt Barley (or Wheat) for Beer (or Whisky/Whiskey) I. Start with Good Quality Barley (or Wheat) A. When purchasing grain for malting, first ask about what types of chemicals might have been used on the grain and then about the grain's history: when it was harvested, how it was stored, etc. B. Inspect the Grain 1. Bits of chaff – and even the occasional dead bug – are quite normal and are of little concern. This sort of debris can easily be removed later when the grain is washed. It will usually float to the surface of the water where it can be skimmed off in a matter of minutes. 2. Grain that has live bugs should generally be avoided, as such bugs will spread to other grain stores and feast on all available grain until it is ready for use. Some of those bugs will also contribute a strong off-smell and off-taste, as well. However, buggy grain can occasionally be had for free, and there are a few types of bugs that do minimal damage to the grain if they are not allowed much time to do their worst. But definitely proceed cautiously with live bugs. 3. The presence of foreign seeds mixed in with the grain may or may not be problematic. A few kernels of corn, a bean or two, a few oats, etc., should not be cause for concern, but if there are unknown seeds mixed in with the grain, ask what they are and act accordingly. 4. Examine the color of the grain and avoid any that has a grayish hue, as this would indicate that the grain was mildewed, either in the field or in storage. -

Undestanding Malting Barley Quality Aaron Macleod, Director, Center for Craft Food and Beverage Hartwick College, Oneonta, NY, 13820 [email protected]
Undestanding Malting Barley Quality Aaron MacLeod, Director, Center for Craft Food and Beverage Hartwick College, Oneonta, NY, 13820 [email protected] Malt is the key ingredient in beer that provides the starch and enzymes necessary to produce the fermentable sugars which yeast then turn into alcohol. Malt also provides the color and flavor compounds which contribute to the final character of beer. Malting is the biological process that turns barley into malt. It is a three stage process including soaking (or steeping) the grain in water to bring the kernels to 45% moisture; germination under cool, humid conditions and drying (or kilning) to dry and stabilize the final malt. Barley must meet strict quality criteria to be acceptable for malt production. Maintaining tight controls on these quality factors in the grain is necessary to ensure good processing efficiency and final product quality in the malthouse and brewery. Care must be taken when growing malting barley to ensure that it meets the necessary specifications. A premium is paid to growers for high quality malting barley to compensate for the extra effort. High quality malting barley should have the following characteristics: Pure lot of an acceptable variety Germination of 95% or higher Protein content raging between 9.5% to 12.5% (dry basis) Moisture content below 13.5% Plump and uniform kernels Free of disease and low DON content Less than 5% of peeled, broken, or damaged kernels Clean and free of insects, admixtures, ergot or foreign material Varietal purity Malting barley varieties are bred specifically for characteristics that promote good malting and brewing performance, such as high enzymatic activity, as well as good agronomic performance and disease resistance. -
