  2. Beer measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_measurement

    The alcohol content of the spirit can then be measured using a hydrometer and tables of density of alcohol and water mixtures. [3] A second accurate method is the ebulliometer method, which uses the difference between the boiling temperature of pure water and the boiling temperature of the beer being tested.

  3. Gravity (alcoholic beverage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_(alcoholic_beverage)

    Gravity, in the context of fermenting alcoholic beverages, refers to the specific gravity (abbreviated SG), or relative density compared to water, of the wort or must at various stages in the fermentation. The concept is used in the brewing and wine-making industries. Specific gravity is measured by a hydrometer, refractometer, pycnometer or ...

  4. Standard Reference Method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Reference_Method

    The Standard Reference Method or SRM [1] is one of several systems modern brewers use to specify beer color. Determination of the SRM value involves measuring the attenuation of light of a particular wavelength (430 nm) in passing through 1 cm of the beer, expressing the attenuation as an absorption and scaling the absorption by a constant (12.7 for SRM; 25 for EBC).

  5. Alcohol proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_proof

    Alcohol proof. Alcohol proof (usually termed simply "proof" in relation to a beverage) is a measure of the content of ethanol (alcohol) in an alcoholic beverage. The term was originally used in England and from 1816 was equal to about 1.75 times the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV). The United Kingdom today uses ABV instead of proof.

  6. Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

    The alcohol by volume shown on a bottle of absinthe. Alcohol by volume (abbreviated as alc/vol or ABV) is a standard measure of the volume of alcohol contained in a given volume of an alcoholic beverage, expressed as a volume percent. [1][2][3] It is defined as the number of millilitres (mL) of pure ethanol present in 100 mL (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 ...

  7. Beer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_chemistry

    In 1957, two brewing chemists, Thorne and Helm, discovered that the Co 2+ cation was able to stabilize beer foam and to avoid beer overfoaming and gushing. [12] The addition of a tiny amount of cobalt ions in the range 1 – 2 mg/L was effective. Higher concentrations would be toxic and lower ones ineffective.

  8. History of beer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_beer

    Philistine pottery beer jug. Beer is one of the oldest human-produced drinks. The written history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia records the use of beer, and the drink has spread throughout the world; a 3,900-year-old Sumerian poem honouring Ninkasi, the patron goddess of brewing, contains the oldest surviving beer-recipe, describing the production of beer from barley bread, and in China ...

  9. Beer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer

    Alcohol is a by-product of yeast metabolism and is toxic to the yeast in higher concentrations; typical brewing yeast cannot survive at alcohol concentrations above 12% by volume. Low temperatures and too little fermentation time decreases the effectiveness of yeasts and consequently decreases the alcohol content.
