Brewing Microbiology


Book Description

During the latter part of the last century and the early years of this century, the microbiology of beer and the brewing process played a central role in the development of modern microbiology. An important advance was Hansen's development of pure culture yeasts for brewery fermentations and the recognition of different species of brewing and wild yeasts. The discovery by Winge of the life cycles of yeasts and the possibilities of hybridization were among the first steps in yeast genetics with subsequent far-reaching consequences. Over the same period the contaminant bacteria of the fermentation industries were also studied, largely influenced by Shimwell's pioneering research and resulting in the improvement of beer quality. Towards the end of the century, the influence of brewing microbiology within the discipline as a whole is far less important, but it retains an essential role in quality assurance in the brewing industry. Brewing microbiology has gained from advances in other aspects of microbiology and has adopted many of the techniques of biotechnology. Of particular relevance are the developments in yeast genetics and strain improvement by recombinant DNA techniques which are rapidly altering the way brewers view the most important microbiological components of the process: yeast and fermentation.




Quality Management


Book Description

Quality management for small, regional, and national breweries is critical for the success of craft brewing businesses. Written for staff who manage quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) in breweries of all sizes, this book clearly sets out how quality management is integrated into every level of operation. Author Mary Pellettieri shows how quality management is a concept that encompasses not only the “free from defect” ethos but combines the wants of the consumer and the art of brewing good beer. Breweries must foster a culture of quality, where governance and management seamlessly merge policy, strategy, specifications, goals, and implementation to execute a QA/QC program. What tests are necessary, knowing that food safety alone does not signify a quality product, adhering to good management practice (GMP), proper care and maintenance of assets, standard operating procedures, training and investment in staff, and more must be considered together if a quality culture is to translate into success. The people working at a brewery are the heart of any quality program. Management must communicate clearly the need for quality management, delineate roles and responsibilities, and properly train and assess staff members. Specialist resources such as a brewery laboratory are necessary if an owner wants to be serious about developing standard methods of analysis to maintain true-to-brand specifications and ensure problems are identified before product quality suffers. Staff must know the importance of taking corrective action and have the confidence to make the decision and implement it in a timely fashion. With so many processes and moving parts, a structured problem-solving program is a key part of any brewery's quality program. How should you structure your brewing lab so it can grow with your business? What chemical and microbiological tests are appropriate and effective? How are new brands incorporated into production? How do you build a sensory panel that stays alert to potential drifts in brand quality? Which FDA and TTB regulations affect your brewery in terms of traceability and GMP? Can you conduct and pass an audit of your processes and products? Mary Pellettieri provides answers to these key organizational, logistical, and regulatory considerations.

Grand Canyon


Book Description

When you visited Yellowstone National Park, did you think to yourself, this does not look like a Volcano? Twenty-nine pieces of evidence suggest Yellowstone is not a volcano. There is a missing planet and an asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. Have you ever wondered what made it possible to rain on earth for 40 days and 40 nights as mentioned in Genesis 7:12? In this publication scientific and geological evidence come together to confirm what Genesis has said all along. Have you ever wondered why there are so many underwater cities found all around the world? Are you aware that mass changes gravity? Genesis 19:23-25, states mass came onto earth out of a clear blue sky and buried the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Many unexplained mysteries are now explained. Things like: Why does the Coconino sandstone show evidence of vertical deposition? Where did the Coconino sandstone come from? Why is the Earth axis tilted to 23.5 degrees? Why are there no marine fossils above the KT boundary? How did the fountains of the great deep burst forth? Why are dinosaurs drowned and buried in shallow clean mudstone on hill tops in Montana? Evidence supports dinosaurs were wiped out less than 5,000 years ago. Please watch the movie, "Is Genesis History". Directed by Thomas Purifoy. 2017; USA: Compass Cinema, 2017. DVD.” Evidence supports celestial Impact at Yellowstone and global mass fallout changing gravity. Gravity change is what made the water vapor canopy become unstable and start falling as rain for 40 days and 40 nights causing global flooding in the year 2,348 B.C.E. Reviews from the first publication, 2018 Excerpt From: E. H. Watts. “Grand Canyon.” iBooks. David 5.0 out of 5 stars The 'Watts Theory' is intriguing and creditable. Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2019 Verified Purchase. Grand Canyon: The Watts Theory ***** “The Watts Theory, while based largely on historic and anecdotal material, is a most engaging hypothesis. Like theories outlined in such books as VanDonikin's 'Chariots of the Gods', Watts presents compelling arguments in support of an alternative view of several of nature's mysteries, including the creation of the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone. While raising as many questions as it endeavors to answer, The 'Watts Theory' is an intriguing and credible explanation of many natural anomalies that remain largely unanswered by pure academic science. I would recommend that anyone interested in geological history, read the 'Watts Theory', with an open mind. It is well researched, documented and thought provoking.” PDX Author 5.0 out of 5 stars A Viable Alternative To An Old Paradigm. Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019 Verified Purchase. Years and years to a common set of beliefs related to landform evolution, and finally now, something different. Over the past decades, I've spent many hours driving through America's desert Southwest. Observing the alluvial fans and terraces of the great basin region along with the upland plateau regions upstream of the drainages that were responsible for the formation of the Grand Canyon have always caused me to question "how". “Now having read “Grand Canyon: The Watts Theory" I have a viable explanation as to the possible moving parts to the unanswered question.” Email: [email protected] Facebook: Grand Canyon or Yellowstone Impact Grand Canyon: A New Paradigm
