21
Q

Boiling

A
  • Sterilization
  • Hop utilization
22
Q

Hops

A
  • Alpha acid isomerization during boil
    • Supply bitterness and preservation to beer
23
Q

Fermenting

A
  • Wort transformed into beer by yeast fermentation
  • yeast transport maltose then maltaste hydrolyzes maltose into glucose
24
Q

ale yeast

A
  • Saccharomyces cerevistiae
  • top-fermenting
  • very diverse
  • produce esters and phenols
25
lager yeast
* *Saccharomyces pastorianus* * bottom-fermenting-cold * fewer strains * Cleaner flavor profile, less diverse * Resently evolved
26
off flavors
* diacetyl * phenols * oxidation
