Various beer barrels with wooden spiles (round knobs on cask) in addition to beer taps. A spile (sometimes called a "cask peg") is a wooden or metal peg used to control the flow of air into, and carbon dioxide out of, a cask of ale or wine. [1] [2] Spiles can also be used to broach liquids (like maple syrup) from a tree. [3]
When beer is served directly from the cask ("by gravity"), as at beer festivals and some pubs, it simply flows out of the tap and into the glass. When the cask is stored in the cellar and served from the bar, as in most pubs, the beer line is screwed onto the tap and the beer is pulled through it by a beer engine. The taps used are the same ...
The cleanliness of tap beer depends on more than the tap it flows from. It’s affected by the entire draft system that pumps the beer from keg to spigot, including the cleanliness of the cellar ...
Reverse costing describes the process of disassembling (reverse engineering) a device to identify manufacturing technology and calculate its manufacturing costs through a cost analysis of its parts and the effort required to assemble them.
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).
In 1959, while at a picnic with friends and family, Fraze discovered he had left his "church key" can opener at home, forcing him to use a car bumper to open cans of beer. Fraze decided to create an improved beverage opening method that would eliminate the need for a separate device, leading to his creation of the pull-tab opener.
