Applied Malting And Brewing Science

Applied Malting and Brewing Science The landmark guide to malting and brewing science is available in English for the first time Humans have been producing fermented beverages for at least ten thousand years. Chief among them is beer, which has arguably never been more popular than it is at this point in history. The United States alone boasts more than 9,500 breweries, a number which has risen steadily as the market for craft beer continues to grow in that country. Thus, maltsters and brewers there and around the world are constantly looking for ways to hone their skills to create products of the highest quality as consistently as possible. With the detailed information presented in this book, they will not only be able to reacquaint themselves with the basic tenets of their profession but will also acquire an in-depth scientific foundation and a wide range of practical knowledge in all aspects of advanced malting and brewing. This landmark work on malting and brewing, originally entitled Abriss der Bierbrauerei, is currently in its eighth edition and has hitherto only been offered in the German language. However, it is now finally available for the first time in translation, as an unabridged and updated English edition. Applied Malting and Brewing Science is a reference for those interested in any facet of malt and beer production, including all of the most recent technical innovations in equipment and processes. This book represents the collective knowledge amassed over many decades of research by Ludwig Narziß in his tenure as Professor at the Chair for Brewing Technology at Weihenstephan. Readers of Applied Malting and Brewing Science will find the following: Comprehensive treatment of topics covering raw materials, malt and wort production, fermentation, packaging and much more A team of authors with decades of experience in the fields of malting and brewing science, both in academia and in their application in the industry A design which facilitates use of the book as both a student textbook and as a practical guide Written by the late Ludwig Narziß and his team, Applied Malting and Brewing Science is an indispensable source for students at any level in related scientific disciplines and for anyone working in the malting and brewing industry.

These two exceptional volumes, both part of the second edition of a we ll established textbook, explore the biological, biochemical and chemi cal aspects of malting and brewing science. Focusing on the scientific principles behind the selection of raw materials and their processing, these two insightful text include brief descriptions of the equipmen t used.

Some ten years. have passed since the publication of the first edition of Malting and Brewing Science, a period of many changes. As before, this edition is an aid to teaching, particularly the MSc course in Brewing Science at Birmingham University, but it is also aimed at the requirements of other students of the science of malting and brewing throughout the world. In general, technological aspects are covered more fully in this new edition, although not malting and brewing practices that are exclusive to Britain. Nevertheless, the amount of technological information available is too great to be comprehensively covered iln one book. Scientific principles and infor mation receive more attention, but for details of analytical procedures reference should be made to the most recently published material of the Ameri can Society of Brewing Chemists, the European Brewery Convention and the Institute of Brewing. The new edition appears as two volumes because a single one would be inconveniently bulky. The first volume outlines the entire process and leads from barley, malting and water to the production of sweet wort. In the second volume there are chapters on hops and hop products, production of hopped wort, fermentation,yeast biology and all aspects of beer qualities and treatment. Decisions about the units of measurement proved difficult; metric units commonly used in the Industry are given and in parentheses are equivalents in degrees Fahrenheit, Imperial measures and UK barrels. Considerable information on equivalents is given in a special section in each volume.

First published in 1946, this classic textbook explores the general chemistry of the raw materials of a malting and brewing. It explains the biochemical properties and processes of malting, brewing and fermentation, making it an ideal companion for brewers, brewing enthusiasts and those interested in the chemical properties of beer. Contents include: Beer Brewing - Carbohydrates and Related – Substances - Fats and Related Substances - Proteins and Their Degradation Products - Tannins - Essential Oils, Bitter Acids, Resins, and Phytin - Enzymes, General Properties - Enzymes, individual Properties - Vitamins. We are republishing this vintage text in a high quality, affordable edition. It comes complete with a newly written introduction and features reproductions of the original illustrations.
