  7. Why? • It’s fun • I like beer • You

    learn a lot about beer • It’s cheaper (in the long run) • Did I mention that I like beer? Good beer.
  8. Isn’t it a lot of work? • Yes and no

    • The whole process takes about a month • But there are only about 2 days when you actually have to do stuff • Programming is hard work too but that doesn’t stop me
  9. It just takes a mere five steps… Mash Boil Cool

  10. The essentials of beer making 1. Malted barley is soaked

    in hot water to release the malt sugars. 2. The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning. 3. The solution is cooled and yeast is added to begin fermentation. 4. The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol. 5. When the main fermentation is complete, the beer is bottled with a little bit of added sugar to provide the carbonation.

  11. Homebrewing options • All-grain • You start from malted grain

    and do everything yourself • Extract brewing • i.e. someone else has done the hard work of mashing for you • Partial mash • Small mash + malt extract for the bulk of the fermentables

  14. BIAB: Brew in a bag • Advantages: • less equipment

    • less work • Disadvantages: • Doesn’t scale up too well
  15. Why all-grain? Why BIAB? • Why all-grain? • All-grain was

    the most interesting option • Gives you the most control • More options in the ingredients you can use • Why BIAB? • Less stuff to acquire/store • Less work. I am a lazy man.
  16. BIAB Equipment • A big kettle (25-30 litres) • A

    fermenter (30 litres) • A wort chiller • Bottles (say 40 × 500ml) • A bag for mashing • A hydrometer + 250ml graduated cylinder • A bottling wand • A thermometer • An (automatic) syphon

  30. 2008 BJCP Style Guidelines Category 14 — India Pale Ale

    (IPA) The BJCP Style guidelines were written by the BJCP Style Committee. Since styles keep evolving as brewers keep innovating, these guidelines are periodically reviewed and updated. The full set of BJCP Style Guidelines, in various formats, can be found at the BJCP Style Center. 14A. English IPA 14B. American IPA 14C. Imperial IPA 14A. English IPA Aroma: A moderate to moderately high hop aroma of floral, earthy or fruity nature is typical, although the intensity of hop character is usually lower than American versions. A slightly grassy dry-hop aroma is acceptable, but not required. A moderate caramel-like or toasty malt presence is common. Low to moderate fruitiness, either from esters or hops, can be present. Some versions may have a sulfury note, although this character is not mandatory. Appearance: Color ranges from golden amber to light copper, but most are pale to medium amber with an orange-ish tint. Should be clear, although unfiltered dry-hopped versions may be a bit hazy. Good head stand with off-white color should persist. Flavor: Hop flavor is medium to high, with a moderate to assertive hop bitterness. The hop flavor should be similar to the aroma (floral, earthy, fruity, and/or slightly grassy). Malt flavor should be medium-low to medium-high, but should be noticeable, pleasant, and support the hop aspect. The malt should show an English character and be somewhat bready, biscuit-like, toasty, toffee-like and/or caramelly. Despite the substantial hop character typical of these beers, sufficient malt flavor, body and complexity to support the hops will provide the best balance. Very low levels of diacetyl are acceptable, and fruitiness from the fermentation or hops adds to the overall complexity. Finish is medium to dry, and bitterness may linger into the aftertaste but should not be harsh. If high sulfate water is used, a distinctively minerally, dry finish, some sulfur flavor, and a lingering bitterness are usually present. Some clean alcohol flavor can be noted in stronger versions. Oak is inappropriate in this style. Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-light to medium-bodied mouthfeel without hop-derived astringency, although moderate to medium-high carbonation can combine to render an overall dry sensation in the presence of malt sweetness. Some smooth alcohol warming can and should be sensed in stronger (but not all) versions. Overall Impression: A hoppy, moderately strong pale ale that features characteristics consistent with the use of English malt, hops and yeast. Has less hop character and a more pronounced malt flavor than American versions. Comments: A pale ale brewed to an increased gravity and hop rate. Modern versions of English IPAs generally pale in comparison (pun intended) to their ancestors. The term “IPA” is loosely applied in commercial English beers today, and has been (incorrectly) used in beers below 4% ABV. Generally will have more finish hops and less fruitiness and/or caramel than English pale ales and bitters. Fresher versions will obviously have a more significant finishing hop character. History: Brewed to survive the voyage from England to India. The temperature extremes and rolling of the seas resulted in a highly attenuated beer upon arrival. English pale ales were derived from India Pale Ales.
