Product Description

Product Description
It is believed that beer has been produced, in some form, for thousands of years - the ancient Egyptians being one civilization with a knowledge of the fermentation process. Beer production has seen many changes over the centuries, and this text combines a historical look at the process with some recent developments. Covering the various stages of beer production, reference is also made to microbiology within the brewery.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
In the broadest sense the word 'brewing' may be defined as 'The combined processes preparing beverages from the infusion of sound grains that have undergone sprouting, and the subsequent fermentation of the sugary solution produced, by yeast - whereby a proportion of the carbohydrate is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide.' Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A scholarly text on the science and history of brewing., 15 Oct 2003
By MikeMcG (nr Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a great book, but be warned it is not a simple homebrew book or "idiot's guide" to beer and brewing, but a scientific and historical text looking at commercial beer production.
The scientific processes involved in malting and brewing are explained in detail; the writer manages to do this clearly and concisely, but some prior knowledge of bio-chemistry and brewing science/technology would certainly help the reader (it is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry).

Chapters include subjects such as the origins of commercial brewing, malt production, current brewing techniques (including mashing, boiling, cooling, fermentation, & post-ferment treatment, packaging and dispense of beer), microbiology and beer spoilage organisms, plus QC and lab analysis of beer/wort.

This book would particularly suit either very serious home-brewers or those in the brewing profession looking to further their technical brewing knowledge.

The writer, Dr Ian Hornsey is a member of the RSC, a former lecturer in microbiology and botany, and founding partner and former head-brewer of the respected Nethergate Brewery (a pioneering microbrewery in Clare, Suffolk, UK - brewers of 'Old Growler' porter - CAMRA Supreme Champion Winter Beer of Britain 2003 & 1997)
