hop bitter acids

Foam is destroyed by

lipid, oils, soaps, alcohol

The tendency of beer to spontaneously foam is called

gushing

Gushing is primarily caused by

fusarium

Fusarium originates in

infected grain

The color of beer is mostly due to

melanoiding

Melanoids are formed from ________ during _______

sugars and amino acids


kilning

Color can also come from the oxidation of

polyphenols

Most of the flavor in beer is detected by

nose

There are four basic tastes

sweet, salt, sour, bitter

Sweet, Salt, Sour, Bitter flavors are respectively due to

Sugar, salt, acids, bitter acids

The pH of most beers is

4 - 4.5

Fruity flavors in beer come from

esters

The active ingredient that reduces the risk of death from atherosclerosis

alcohol

Beer is a good source of what vitamins

B vitamins (folate)

The major source of calories in beer is

alcohol

Beer tends to be relatively resistant to microbial spoilage because it contains

hops

Major source of carbohydrates in beer is

Weizenbiers are made using a lot of

wheat

The Latin names for barley are

Hordeum vulgare

filter bed in brew house

Role of micropyle in barley

only entry for water

Role of the embryo in barley

makes hormones

Role of the aleurone in barley

makes enzymes

Role of the endosperm in barley

starch, food source

First stage of malting

steeping

The aim of malting is to increase the moisture content to

42% - 46%

The typical temperature range for malting

14 - 18 C

Malthing takes

2 days

The second stage of malting is

germenation

How long does germenation take

4 - 6 days

Typical temperature for germenation

14 - 16 C

Purpose of germenation

degrade the cell walls of endosperm and make enzymes

The third stage of malting

kilning

Temperature is gradually increased during kilning because

enzymes are more sensitive to yeast when wet (at the start)

Ale malts tend to be treated at a

higher temp than lager to develop more color

Specialty malts are produced by

roasting very dark, almost charred

Latin name for hops

Humulus Lupulus
