Brewing Microbiology discusses the microbes that are essential to successful beer production and processing, and the ways they can pose hazards in terms of spoilage and sensory quality.

The text examines the properties and management of these microorganisms in brewing, along with tactics for reducing spoilage and optimizing beer quality. It opens with an introduction to beer microbiology, covering yeast properties and management, and then delves into a review of spoilage bacteria and other contaminants and tactics to reduce microbial spoilage.

Final sections explore the impact of microbiology on the sensory quality of beer and the safe management and valorisation of brewing waste.

Brewing is one of the oldest and most complex technologies in food and beverage processing. Its success depends on blending a sound understanding of the science involved with an equally clear grasp of the practicalities of production. Brewing: Science and Practice provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to both aspects of the subject.

After an initial overview of the brewing process, the book reviews malts, adjuncts, and enzymes. Chapters explain water, effluents, and wastes; detail the science and technology of mashing, including grist preparation; discuss hops and are followed by chapters on wort boiling, clarification, and aeration. Additional chapters present information on yeast biology, metabolism, and growth; fermentation, fermentation technologies, and beer maturation; and native African beers. After a discussion of brewhouses, the authors consider a number of safety and quality issues, including beer microbiology and the chemical and physical properties of beer, which contribute to qualities such as flavor. A final group of chapters cover packaging, storage, distribution, and the retail handling of beer.

Based on the authors' unrivaled experience in the field, Brewing: Science and Practice will be a standard work for the industry.

The Colour Atlas and Handbook of Beverage Biology is a comprehensive reference work aimed primarily at practising beverage biologists. On the basis of numerous colour plates, microscopic enlargements and drawings, a morphological differentiation of all important beverage organisms is made possible.The various germs can be identified unambiguously in most cases by means of the detailed description of physiological-biochemical properties and growth characteristics. The two highly successful German language volumes already in print were updated, tailored to international requirements and combined into one in the present volume. The most recent taxonomic findings served as a basis. The detailed description of detection methods for all relevant microorganisms in the various beverages is also based on the latest scientific research. By presenting and giving a detailed description of numerous original cultures from commercial operations (cell morphology and growth characteristics), the objective is to provide all those working in the field with a tool to help them to accurately determine the hygienic and microbiological condition of their plant at all times and, if necessary, adopt appropriate measures. In this book, general microbiological tests are first set out, followed by a detailed treatment of the microbiology of breweries and wineries. The book contains chapters on fruit juice and lemonade operations, water/plant hygiene, dairy industry as well as associate flora. In the annex, modern detection methods, methods for biological operational control as well as processes for eliminating beverage-spoilage organisms are presented. A comprehensive word index makes it easier for beverage biologists to use this Colour Atlas and Handbook of Beverage Biology.

Compressed air systems are one of the most important utilities in breweries and are often the most misunderstood. In order to summarise the basic technologies for the production and application of compressed air in the brewing industry, VLB's Technical Scientific Committee has compiled this book. The original German edition was published in 2001, followed by a Spanish edition in 2004. "Compressed Air in Breweries" is now also available in an English edition. It has been published as a co-operation project of VLB and Master Brewers Association of the Americas (MBAA).

Dark Lagers draws on the diverse experience and extensive knowledge of Thomas Kraus-Weyermann and Horst Dornbusch, both established figures in the brewing world. The authors met by chance on the tradeshow floor of the 1999 Craft Brewers Conference: Horst, author of several books and owner of a craft brewery in Massachusetts, and Thomas, a Bavarian maltster steeped in German beer culture. A series of collaborative projects followed, from producing historic and classic beers to writing articles in brewing industry journals—and now, this book.

Why write this book? In reviewing the brewing literature, the authors found plenty of books about brewing beers such as British pale and dark ales, sour beers, Belgian farmhouse ales, and even futuristic “extreme” or “radical” ales. However, they did not find even one book in any language about brewing dark lagers. In the authors’ words, “We decided to plug that gap in the literature ourselves.”

Dark Lagers addresses both historical and technical brewing topics with a balance of science and wit. First, the authors tell the story of lagers, which begins in or around the sixteenth century and has many subplots in terms of history, politics, climate, and microbiology. Until now, many aspects of the story have never been told in a definitive or authoritative publication. Then, the authors share 40-plus recipes for dark lagers of three general types: classic, craft, and innovative. They test-brewed about half of the recipes in the pilot brewery of the Weyermann® malting plant in Bamberg, Germany, and the other half in different-sized breweries in the United States and Canada.

Craft brewers, home brewers, and brewing students will find this book an invaluable resource. It provides not only the background necessary to understand the evolution of dark lagers but also dozens of unique, tested recipes. Brewing professionals will be intrigued by the “history and mystery” of dark lagers and enjoy a really good read!

Dr. Inoue’s treatise on diacetyl will be important to every brewer.
-Cindy-Lou Bell, Anheuser Busch, Inc.
Diacetyl plays an important role in the quality determination of foods and beverages. This comprehensive publication on diacetyl formation in fermented foods and beverages explains the science behind diacetyl formation, how to control it, and how to measure it in food manufacturing processes. A change in a manufacturing method or the quality of a raw material can unexpectedly enhance an unpleasant diacetyl odor or remove a pleasant diacetyl flavor. It is no surprise that this compound and its control are of critical importance in today’s manufacturing practices.

Originally published only in Japanese and now translated to English, the text has been revised to reflect current research on diacetyl. Diacetyl in Fermented Foods and Beverages covers
Dr. Takashi Inoue, one of Japan’s premier diacetyl researchers, is a globally-recognized expert on the topic of diacetyl formation in fermented foods and beverages. Diacetyl in Fermented Foods and Beverages offers the life-long research and learnings of Dr. Inoue. diacetyl formation and control in beer, wine, Sake, vinegar and dairy products. The text is a helpful guide for any food manufacturing process and a valuable resource for anyone studying food science or food manufacturing. It is a must-have resource for anyone involved in a manufacturing process in which tracking and regulating diacetyl formation is imperative. The book provides analytical methods used in brewing, which can be easily modified to analyze other foods and beverages.
