INTRODUCTION TO BEER

Beer is: A non-distilled, fermented extract of cereal (usually malted barley) which is flavoured with hops.

Beer is the third most popular drink in the world, after water and tea! It’s origins can be traced back as far as Ancient Egypt but over the millennia, hundreds of different brewing processes and styles have developed. Beer is broken into three main categories, into which all the different styles fall.

• Top fermented • Lively, unpredictable

ALE

• Bottom

fermented • Stable product

LAGER

• Spontaneous fermentation • Usually sour

LAMBIC

BEER INGREDIENTS

HOPS Hops are a climbing, flowering plant. Each hop variety has it’s own attributes and brings something different to a beer. Hops are mainly used for bitterness and aroma.

MALT Many types of grain can be used to brew beer but barley is the most widely used. A grain must be malted to develop sugars, colour and flavours before it is used to make beer.

WATER Water is the most important and influential ingredient in the brewing process. Brewers call it ‘liquor’. Depending on where the water is from, depends on how it will affect the beer.

YEAST Yeast is a single cell fungus which ingests sugars and excretes C02 and alcohol. Depending on which style of yeast is used determines which type of beer you are making. Yeast is used to produce alcohol and carbonation, but also affects flavour and aromas.

Malt is used for sugar, colour and flavour .

Water is used for body and texture.

THE BREWING PROCESS

How beer is made will vary slightly from beer to beer but the key steps remain the same as per the diagram.

Watch the video below to see how beer is made.

QUALITY CONTROL

KEG DRAUGHT PRODUCTS

A keg is a pressurised barrel containing products that will be served through the bar fonts – products like lagers, ciders and specialty draught products. Kegs are stored in an upright position and use gas to drive the liquid up through the taps. Kegs should always be stored in the cellar between 11-13C. Service temperatures vary depending on the product. Keg Ales, Sparkling or Creamflow products should be served at 8-10C. Standard lagers, super – chilled Ales & Stouts should be served at 5-7C.

Changing a Keg

You may be required to change a keg – it is vital that you follow correct procedure to do this for your own safety.

TASTING BEER

When tasting beer, it’s not all about the flavours. Tasting is a joint effort between our senses. To create a tasting note we need to consider the following..

A PPEARANCE – Colour, Clarity, Carbonation

A ROMA – what can you smell?

A ll A pples F all B efore F lowers

F LAVOUR – what does it taste like?

B ODY – how heavy does the beer feel in your mouth ?

To help you remember

F INISH – what is the last sensation? How long does it last?

For example: A light bodied golden beer, with grassy aromas, fruity flavours & a long bitter finish.

TASTING PROCESS

• Look at your beer • Check the colour, clarity & carbonation

SEE

• Swirl the beer around in your glass • This will release the aromas

SWIRL

• Take a short sniff of your beer • Sniff again – what can you smell?

SNIFF

• Take a mouthful of beer • Move it around in your mouth, making sure you cover all parts of your tongue

Your tongue tastes different sensations at different parts – make sure you cover all of them to get the full experience!

SWISH

• Swallow the beer • Concentrate on whether you can feel any bitterness & what the last sensation is

Cider is created from fermented apple juice

Cider has been fermented and enjoyed for centuries, fruit juice fermentations were recorded by the ancient Egyptians.

Any type or style of apple can be used to create cider, although, traditionally only varieties of bittersweet & bittersharp apples were used. These types of apples are named after its flavour profile – bitterness followed by either sweet or very sharp / sour notes, not great for eating but perfect for cider production.

Today cider is produced in a variety of styles:

Sparkling

Cloudy

Hazey

Bright

Still

Retains some of the yeast used to ferment the juice

Retains some of the yeast used to ferment the juice

All of the yeast is removed

No carbonation

Created by adding a carbonator e.g. carbon dioxide

Cider can have an alcohol of between 1.2% - 8.49%, after this it becomes wine, low alcohol ciders are available and are typically below 1.2% which legally makes them soft drinks.

Cider ingredients

Apples

Water Water is a vital part of the process: thousands of litres are used by Cider Mills on a daily basis. As the water is blended with the apple juice before fermentation. Water quality is absolutely critical to the finished product. Water provides texture and with contribute to the ciders mouthfeel.

Yeast Live yeast cells are added to the apple juice and water blend and are used to create alcohol, they feed on sugar and excrete alcohol and CO2. Yeast strains must be carefully selected to ensure that they are suitable for the type of product that is being produced, yeast selection will affect finished product and aroma.

There are more than 7,500 varieties of apple – each with their own specific and desirable qualities. Grown in orchards, apples trees crop once a year and are harvested by shaking the trees and collecting the fallen fruit from the floor. Bittersweet, Bittersharp, Culinary and even Crab apples can be used to create different flavour profiles when blended together in the finished product.

Regional differences in cider flavour & profile

West Midlands & South West of England: have a distinctive bittersweet taste (bitterness), & mouth feel (astringency and body) and spicy, woody and smoky characteristics of traditional high-tannin cider apples

Eastern Counties: traditionally made from dessert apples. Display fresh, acidic and high fruity notes typical of the types of apple used

Somerset: often quite dry and typically display the fruity and tannin-like qualities of local bittersweet & bittersharp apples . Herefordshire: Distinctively bitter, full bodied and astringent. High tannin flavours, almost certainly made from traditional bittersweet varieties. Big on fruit flavours, oaky & spicy

French ciders : typically low in alcohol, often fairly sweet, with sherry-like qualities. Frequently naturally sparkling due to secondary in-bottle fermentation. Spanish ciders : usually quite dry, non- carbonated (still) and often have a noticeable acetic acid tang

Devon: much more woody flavours, typically mahogany coloured and fairly acidic .

The cider making process

Authentic cider makers will follow a simple eight step process, beginning with harvesting in early October. Fresh juice once pressed will then be fermented and slowly matured to deliver flavour & character. Alternatively, concentrate can be added at step 5 rather than using fresh juice and then bottled, canned & kegged almost immediately.

Draught cider perfect serve

 Pour the cider directly into the centre of the glass, allowing the cider to hit the central nucleation spot to encourage carbonation & mouth-feel  Hold the glass upright, no need to tilt at a 45° angle  Do not allow the font nozzle to touch the cider when pouring

FONT



Use the correctly branded glass

GLASS

 Ensure it is always – clean, cold, chip free & dry

 Serve to the guest, keeping fingers from the rim of the glass  Ensure the branding is facing the guest

SERVE

Quality control: draught kegged cider

 The ideal temperature for keg dispense is between 5 ° C - 8 ° C, for storage we would recommend no greater than 13 ° C.

Temperature

 Keg lines should be cleaned at least every 7 days, only recommended line cleaning products should be used & excess line cleaning fluid should be disposed of afterwards to avoid contamination.  Thorough cleaning is required as yeast could affect the products clarity and can lead to fobbing.

Cleanliness

 Gas cylinders should be stored upright in a secure position and should be switched off after use, as this can potentially cause fobbing. Only use the correct mix of gas as directed by your cellar service technician.  Ensure the cellar is well ventilated as stale air will make cider hazey, although draughts should be avoided

Storage

Quality Control: draught bag-in-box cider

The use of Bag-in-Box for draught, still ciders and perries will allow an extended shelf-life, enabling products to remain in peak condition to the very last drop in the bag. Dispense can either be direct from the bag via its integral tap, or using an adaptor via a hand pull.

How to use the HAND PULL DISPENSE ADAPTOR: Supplied with these instructions are the following:



1 adaptor



1 section of spacer pipe



1 Jubilee Clip 1 cleaning tap



1. Remove old fitting from pipe by cutting off or by undoing the existing Jubilee Clip. 2. Slide the Jubilee Clip over the pipe and leave loose. 3. Push adaptor into end of tube and tighten jubilee clip if too tight soften tube with hot water and if too loose use the section of spacer pipe to pack out the tube. 4. Remove red safety tag from tap. 5. Fit adaptor over tap ensuring the lip of the tap is seated squarely on top of the washer and turn screw cap on top to open tap, thereby clamping the adaptor and opening the tap, allowing product into the delivery line. 6. We strongly recommend cleaning the line before the first use and every week thereafter. To do this disconnect adaptor from tap. Fit the enclosed cleaning tap into adaptor and turn the screw cap. This opens the tap and the non-return valve within it, allowing fluids to pass through. Submerge the end of the tube along with adaptor and cleaning tap into a container of line cleaning solution and proceed as normal. NB. Should you ever lose the cleaning tap, one can be cut off a used Bag-in-Box.

Tasting process

Appearance, agitate & aroma Are there bubbles? Is it still? Is there a head? Any foam? Agitate / swirl to release the aroma Take a big sniff, it should smell fresh. Any scents of drains, eggs, vinegar indicate an infection. Any chemical smells indicate line cleaning issues

A

Vinegar, Sherry & wet cardboard – suggest the product has oxidised Banana (know as cider sickness) caused by bacterial contamination

Body Does the cider cling to the sides of the glass? Does the cider have legs / tears?

Sour Milk / Yoghurt – bacterial infection

B

OFF NOTES:

Clarity Bright ciders should be shiny & luminous Cloudy ciders should have even and fluid distribution of the sediment to form natural haze

C

Does it taste good? The cider should taste appley and typically cider

To grow good grapes for making wine we need to have enough sunlight and heat to allow the grapes to ripen properly and for the levels of natural sugar and acid (zestiness) to be balanced. If we have too much acid then the wine will taste sour and thin, if there is too much natural sugar then the wine will be too sweet. Without enough sunlight and warmth the grapes cannot ripen properly and for black grapes this could mean that they aren’t able to develop enough colour in their skins. This means that we cannot successfully grow grapes everywhere in the world and find that the ideal climates for grape growing tend to fall between 30 – 50 degrees north (known as the northern hemisphere) and south (southern hemisphere) of the equator. The amount of sunlight and warmth that a region experiences is known as its ‘climate’ – this is different to ‘weather’ which is unpredictable (like snow or hail). We can simplify wine making regions by categorising them as ‘Cool climates’ or ‘Hot Climates’ and can summarise the styles of wine we will find made there.

The Grape

Here is a cross section of a grape and all of the important elements that are needed when we make wine: *Tannins are a natural bitter chemical found in the skins, pips and stalks of a grape. They are what make your mouth feel dry when you drink some red wine. Some grapes have more tannin than others so when we make wine some wine will natural have more of this sensation that others.

Noble Grape Varieties There are thousands of different grape varieties grown all around the world to make wine so it can often be confusing to work out what is/isn’t a grape variety on a label! However, a good starting point is to familiarise yourself with the seven noble grape varieties – these are the ones you will most likely come across.

Noble Grape Varieties

Cabernet Sauvignon Kab-err-nay Sew-veen-yon Like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon is widely planted all over the world and produces wines in a full range of styles from medium bodied to full bodied with a distinctive aroma and flavour character of blackcurrant. There is a lot of colour and tannins contained in the skins of this grape variety and because of this wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon are dark in colour and high in tannins. Mer-low Merlot is a softer, fruiter alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon with much lower tannins and because of this winemakers will often blend Merlot in with Cabernet Sauvignon to soften the tannins out (Bordeaux) Seer-rah (Shi-razz) Wines from this variety are deep in colour, but produce aromas and flavours of peppery spice making this quite a distinctive style of wine. In the Old World this grape is referred to as Syrah whilst in the New World it is referred to as Shiraz . Pee-no Noo-ar Unlike the other noble red grapes Pinot Noir is distinctive because of its red fruit flavour profile. Lots of summer fruits such as strawberry, raspberry and cherry tend to dominate wines from this grape variety. It also produces wines that are light in body and very low in tannin making it a perfect red wine for those trying red wine for the first time. Merlot Syrah (Shiraz) Pinot Noir

Chardonnay S har-don-nay Chardonnay is planted all over the world and makes a huge range of styles of wine from light and dry (such as Chablis) to sparkling (Champagne) to big and rich (Australia). It is a grape variety that often spends some time in oak, particularly in the New World countries as this complements to riper more fruity character of the wine produced here. Sew-veen-yon Blon-k This grape variety prefers a cooler climate and wines made from it tend to be fresh and fruity with green, citrus fruit flavour. Famous areas for producing wine from this popular grape are France (Sancerre) and New Zealand. Rees-ling Wines made from this variety can range from very dry through to incredibly sweet but always wine made from Riesling have a high level of natural acidity giving them a refreshing mouth-watering character. The home of Riesling is originally Germany and the Alsace in France; however, New World countries such as Australia and New Zealand are now producing some very good quality wines from this grape.
