Ales & Lagers Flashcards
Why is is saccharomyces called a top fermenting yeast
It refers to the behavior of these floating on the surface of the liquid going through fermentation when all the sugar has been consumed
What is the typical temperature range that Ales must be at?
Between 55°F and 75°F
How long does the fermentation process take for Ale
Approximately one week
Which type of beer ales or lagers have stronger Fuller flavors
Ales, produce stronger flavors from the larger amount of biochemical flavor compounds that are developed while breaking down the sugars
What are the main countries or regions that produce Ales
Ireland, England, Belgian and buy American microbreweries in brewpubs
When did loggers start being brewed commercially
Since the 1800s
When was beer invented
No one is sure because it was long before the written word was invented
What is Saccharomyces urarum.
They used used to make loggers also referred to as bottom fermenting yeast, since it sinks to the bottom of the tank after the fermentation process is complete.
What is the temperature that lager yeast needs to ferment
Around 40°F
How long does it take lager yeast to ferment
Approximately one month sometimes more
Why does lager have fewer flavors
Because it’s fermentation is so much slower that breaks down the sugars more methodically
What is saccaromyces cereviae
The yeast used to make Ales. It is also the same type of yeast used to make wine and for baking bread
What flavors do American pale ale is emphasize
Hoppy and somewhat better flavors
What flavors do British version of pale ale emphasize
A rich malty sweetness
Why are IPAs so much stronger and have a higher alcohol content
More hops are added and more alcohol is created through this process which makes it more bitter and aromatic with a higher alcohol content
