Beer Flashcards
Define alcohol
Alcohol is any fermented liquor, such as wine, beer, or distilled
spirits, that contains ethyl alcohol, or ethanol (C2H5OH), as an
intoxicating agent.
Explain fermentation
Fermentation is the process in which the yeast converts the
sugars in fruits, berries, grains, and such other ingredients as
plant saps, tubers, honey, and milk into ethanol, CO2, and heat

What is beer
A beer is a carbonated, fermented, alcoholic
beverage usually made from malted barley, flavored
with hops, and contains less than 5% abv.
What are hops
are the flowers of the hop plant Humulus lupulus. They are used
as a bittering, flavouring, and stability agent in beer and they also impart
floral, fruity, or citrus flavours and aromas to the beer.
Ingredients for making beer
WATER – THE MAIN INGREDIENT & MAKES UP 90-95% OF BEER
MALTED BARLEY – BARLEY GRAINS THAT HAVE STARTED THE GERMINATION PROCESS
YEAST – NECESSARY TO START THE FERMENTATION PROCESS
HOPS – IMPARTS THE REQUIRED FLAVORS & AROMA, AND KEEPS THE BEER FRESH LONGER

What is malting
Malting – sprinkling of water on the barley grains to start
germination & then dried roasting in a KILN
Milling
crushing the husk or the outer layer and breaking the inner
of the barley malt to produce GRIST.
Mashing
crushed grains are then mixed with water to form a
porridge like mixture MASH and enzymes are released.
Lautering
separating mash into a sugary clear liquid WORT &
residual grain SPENT GRAIN
Boiling
– the wort is then boiled, it stops the enzyme activity and
hops are added.
Cooling
Cooling – after wort clarification, the wort needs to be cool
enough before the yeast is added for fermentation. Temperature for
ales is 20–22°C and for lagers is 7-14°C.
Fermentation
Fermentation – brewing yeast is added. The yeast turns the malt
sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Conditioning
Conditioning – ageing of beer. Most commercial beermakers do
forced carbonation i.e. pressurized CO2 is also added to the beer.
Filtering
– after the beer has aged the vast majority will be filtered
to remove any foreign substances and leftover yeast. Filtering beer will
also stabilize its flavor.
Packaging
– the beer is put into kegs, bottles or cans that are
then shipped out of the brewery.
Types of beers
Ale
Lager
Difference between ale and lager
Ale
➢ oldest style of beer.
➢ ferments at warmer-temperature.
➢ fermentation for a relatively short period of time.
➢ uses top-fermenting yeasts, ferments on the top of the brew.
LAGER ➢ newer style of beer. ➢ ferments at a lower temperature. ➢ ferments for a longer time. ➢ relies on bottom-fermenting yeasts, ferments on the bottom of the brew
Types of ale
Pale ale Amber ale Mild ale Brown ale Scotch ale
Types of lager
Pale lager Light lager Pilsner Amber lager dark lager
What is draught beer
Draught beer can be lager beer or an ale beer as it is not a type of
beer but rather beer that is stored and served from large kegs and
casks.
Draught beer is also known as ______
Draft beer
Why is draught beer often considered better quality than most
other beers,
because of the very secured packing, where neither
sunlight nor oxygen can penetrate the keg.
