The majority of compounds in beer come from the metabolic activities of plants and yeast and so are covered by the fields of biochemistry and organic chemistry. [1] The main exception is that beer contains over 90% water and the mineral ions in the water (hardness) can have a significant effect upon the taste. [2]
Burtonisation is the act of adding sulphate, often in the form of gypsum, to the water used for the brewing of beer, to bring out the flavour of the hops. The name comes from the town of Burton upon Trent which had several very successful breweries due to the chemical composition of the local water. [14]
Sparging is trickling water through the grain to extract sugars. This is a delicate step, as the wrong temperature or pH will extract tannins from the chaff (grain husks) as well, resulting in a bitter brew. Typically, 1.5 times more water is used for sparging than was for mashing. [2] Sparging is typically conducted in a lauter tun. [2]
A 16th-century brewery Brewing is the production of beer by steeping a starch source (commonly cereal grains, the most popular of which is barley) in water and fermenting the resulting sweet liquid with yeast. It may be done in a brewery by a commercial brewer, at home by a homebrewer, or communally. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence ...
A close-up view of grains steeping in warm water during the mashing stage of brewing. In brewing and distilling, mashing is the process of combining ground grain – malted barley and sometimes supplementary grains such as corn, sorghum, rye, or wheat (known as the "grain bill") – with water and then heating the mixture.
Without clumps, all of the brewing water comes into contact with the ground beans, reducing the amount of coffee that goes effectively unused and giving a more consistent brew. The ideal amount of ...
Freshly boiling water is poured into the pot to within 4–6 mm of the brim. Allow 20 seconds for water to cool. The water should be similar to the drinking water where the tea will be consumed. Brewing time is six minutes (for black tea), five minutes (for leafy green tea) and three minutes (for fanning green tea).
A year ago, when a water main break put a large swath of Rochester under a boil water advisory, Swiftwater Brewing Company Owner/Brewer Andy Cook did a bit of "creative plumbing." He ran the ...
