Ice beer was developed by brewing a strong, dark lager, then freezing the beer and removing some of the ice. This concentrates the aroma and taste of the beer, and also raises the alcoholic strength of the finished beer. [3] This produces a beer with 12 to 15 per cent alcohol. In North America, water would be added to lower the alcohol level.
A growler (US) (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ l ər /) is a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bottle (or jug) used to transport draft beer. [1] They are commonly sold at breweries and brewpubs as a means to sell take-out craft beer.
A growler filler was installed during the renovation that allows any of 20 draft beers to be routed to the counter-pressure growler filler. This device includes a CO 2 evacuation step, increasing the shelf life of the beer compared to direct spigot filling. The growlers are 68 US fluid ounces (0.53 US gal; 2.0 L). [5]
Alamy Consider the growler -- those large bottles that beer drinkers use to take microbrews home straight from the tap. The name for the container, which typically holds 64 ounces, dates back to ...
A more attenuated beer is drier and more alcoholic than a less attenuated beer made from the same wort. Attenuation can be quantified by comparing the specific gravity — the density of a solution, relative to pure water — of the extract before and after fermentation, quantities termed the original and final gravities.
The dropping process has two primary effects on the beer being fermented: the trub that has settled during the first period of fermentation will be left behind, leaving a cleaner beer and a cleaner yeast to crop from the beer for the next fermentation; the second effect is the aeration of the wort, which results in healthy clean yeast growth ...
The strength of beer is measured by its alcohol content by volume expressed as a percentage, that is to say, the number of millilitres of absolute alcohol (ethanol) in 100 mL of beer. The most accurate method of determining the strength of a beer would be to take a quantity of beer and distill off a spirit that contains all of the alcohol that ...
By far the most predominant malt drink is beer (naturally fermented barley sugars flavoured with hops), of which there are two main styles: ale and lager. A low alcohol level drink brewed in this fashion is technically identical to "non-alcoholic beer". Such a drink may be prepared by using a slightly altered brewing process that yields ...
