bock alt kolsch porter helles marzen stout | lager ale ale ale lager lager ale |
light beers have fewer | calories |
draft beers are | on tap and unpasteurized |
main gas component of beer | CO2 |
some brewers deliberately add _____ to improve foam | Nitrogen |
________ gas promotes beer staling | Oxygen |
the main surface active component that stabilizes beer foam is | protein |
protein originates in | barley |
protein cross-links with | iso-aldehyde alcohols |
foam is destroyed by | oils, lipids and alcohol |
what is the tendency of beer to spontaneously foam? | gushing |
gushing is primarily caused by | fusarium |
fusarium originates in | infected grain |
the color of beer is mostly due to | melanoidins |
malanoidins are formed from sugars and amino acids during | kilning |
color can also come from the oxidation of | polyphenols |
the main source of haze in beer is by the joining of | polyphenols and proteins |
beer stone in pipes is caused by | oxalate |
the best way to prevent beer stone is to add | calcium carbonate |
most of the beer flavor is detected by | the nose |
what are the four basic tastes and what are responsible for the tastes? | sweet (sugar) salt (NaCl) acids (low pH) bitter (iso-acids) |
what is the pH range of most beers? | 4-4.5 |
fruity flavors in beer come from | esters |
canned corn flavor in beer comes from | dimethyl sulfide |
butterscosh flavor in beer comes from | diacetyl |
MBT in beer gives a ________ aroma | skunky |
the trigeminal nerve detects | CO2 in beer |
the smoothness in Guiness is due to | nitrogen |
the moderation consumption of beer can reduce the risk of death from | atherosclerosis |
the active ingredient that reduces these risks is | alcohol |
beer is a good source of certain | B vitamins |
the major source of calories in beer is | alcohol |
beer seems to be relatively resistant to microbial spoilage because it contains | iso-alpha-acids |
the major source of carbohydrates for making beer is | malt |
weizenbiers are made using a lot of | wheat |
latin names for barley | vulagre and distichon |
two row barley generate _____ extract that 6 row barley | more |
husk micropyle embryo aleurone endosperm | filterbed in brewhouse water entry hormones enzymes food storage |
the first stage of malting is | steeping |
the aim of steeping is to increase the moisture content to | 40% |
typical temp range for steeping | 14-18 C |
steeping takes approx | 2 days |
the second stage of the malting process is | germination |
germination lasts for | 4-6 days |
the typical temperature range for germination is | 16-20 C |
the purpose of the germination stage is to | breakdown cell walls and make enzymes |
the third stage of malting is | kilning |
the temperature is gradually increased through this process because | enzymes are more sensitive to heat as moisture levels increase |
ale malts tend to be treated at a ___ temperature than lager malts and so they develop more ____ and ____ | higher; color and flavor |
a range of speciality malts are produced by | roasting |
in order of increasing color, 4 of them are: | carapils, crystal, chocolate, black |
latin name for hops | humulus lupulus |
active ingredients for brewing | resins and oils |
resins and oils are located in | lupulin glands |
chemical name for bitterness precursor | alpha acids |
during boiling these precursors are converted to | iso-alpha-acids |
hopes are often classified as either bittering or aroma types. the difference is the quality of their ____ and the level of their _____ | aroma; resin |
hops are most frequently added as _____ but can be asses as extracts made with _____ | pellets; liquid CO2 |
if these extracts are reduced they can be used to protect against | light damage |
the liquid obtained when mashing is | wort |
the first stage in starch breakdown is ______ and the key temp is ____ for malt starch | gelatinization; 65 C |
the enzymes that breakdown starch are | amylases |
in a well run brewery, water usage us about _____ barrels for every barrel of beer produced | 3-5 |
hard water contains high levels of | calcium |
an ex of water with high levels of calcium is | davis, burton |
an ex of water with low levels of calcium is | pilsen |
some brewers use sources of sugar other than malt. These materials are called | adjuncts |
some starches need to cooked before use. what are some examples? | corn, rice, sorgham |
______ mills are used when the brewer is using a lauter ton | roller |
________ mills are used when the brewer is using a mash filter because of darcy's law | hammer |
what is darcy's law | it explains the rate of wort separation. (P x Bed Perm x Filt. Area)/(Bed Depth x Viscosity) |
wort is boiled because | sterilization, volatilization, concentration, isomerization, precipitation, inactivation |
the solid material produced in boiling is called | trub |
trub is removed in either a _____ or _____ depending on _____ | whirlpool or hopback; mode of hopping |
solid material produced during cooling | cold break |
