Brewing Techniques in Practice | Back, Werner; Gastl, Martina; Krottenthaler, Martin; Zarnkow, Martin; Narziß, Ludwig

This handbook addresses both students of brewing technology and technological practitioners. It provides a comprehensive overview of raw materials, modern plant and process engineering, quality characteristics, stability values, sensorics, microbiology, speciality beers and health aspects. Biochemical fundamentals and technological interrelationships are impressively depicted in well-arranged tables and illustrations. This clear arrangement and the accompanying discussion of various problematic cases, as well as presentation of appropriate methods of resolution, make this handbook indispensable for practitioners. Current research findings are included in the second edition and chapters are updated. In particular the extended annex listing standard values for wort and beer components as well as beer aroma substances and higher alcohols is completely new.
