What is the main characteristic of cara-pils malt?
It is a highly modified pale malt that is drum-heated at temperatures between 110°C and 160°C,
which causes the sugars to caramelize and become unfermentable.
Why is cara-pils commonly used in brewing?
1. It improves foam production.
2. It enhances head retention.
3. It contributes to a fuller body.
Are cara-pils and carafoam interchangeable terms?
Yes, cara-pils is the trademarked name by Weyermann for carafoam.
How is pale malt typically created in the malting process?
By gently kiln drying the malt between 50°C and 84°C.
Which essential oil is found in hops and is called caryophyllene?
Caryophyllene is one of the four main essential oils found in hops.
What does centrifugation involve?
It involves applying radial force to an object that moves in a circular path.
Which substance in hops is associated with a stronger bitterness?
Cohumulone, one of the five major alpha acids in hops, imparts a harsher bitterness.

,What is cold break in brewing?
It refers to the proteins, polyphenols, and carbohydrates that precipitate from wort as it cools.
What does Cold Water Extract (CWE) refer to in brewing?
It refers to the portion of malt solids that are soluble in cold water, expressed as a percentage of
the malt's total weight.
What are the two main types of colloidal haze in beer?
Chill haze and permanent haze.
How do you define colloidal haze in beer?
It is non-biological haze that forms in beer.
What purpose does a cool ship serve in brewing?
A cool ship is a shallow, large open vessel used to cool hot wort before fermentation.
What is the common name for dextrose in brewing?
Dextrose is commonly known as corn sugar or glucose.
What are dextrins and how are they formed?
Dextrins are long-chain glucose polymers formed during the breakdown of starches in the
mashing process.
What is the chemical nature of dextrose?
Dextrose is a monosaccharide, a simple sugar also known as glucose.
What does diastatic power measure in malt?
It measures the total activity of enzymes that hydrolyze starches into fermentable sugars.
2
,What is diatomaceous earth (DE) used for in brewing?
It is used to filter yeast from beer before packaging.
How is roasted malt created?
Pale malt is kilned and then roasted for 2 to 3 hours at a temperature of 250°C.
What happens when the vents are closed during drum roasting malt?
The malt retains moisture and undergoes a stewing cycle.
What is the process for making drum-roasted caramelized malts?
Moist green malt is placed in a drum, the vents are closed, and it is roasted at 60°C to 70°C to
enable enzyme conversion, followed by further roasting to create caramunich malt.
What is the endosperm in barley grain?
It is the largest tissue of the barley grain and acts as a food storage organ for the embryo.
Where did hops originally come from in England?
Hops were introduced to England by Flemish farmers settling in Kent around 1600.
What is ergot and how does it affect cereal grains?

What is flaked barley?
Flaked barley is unmalted barley that has been cooked, dried, and rolled into flakes.
3
, What are the benefits of using flaked barley in brewing?
1. It imparts a rich, grainy flavor.
2. It enhances head foam and stability.
What does flocculation refer to in yeast behavior?
Flocculation is the tendency of yeast cells to aggregate and move out of the solution.
What is floor malting and how was it done traditionally?
Floor malting is the traditional method of malting that involves steeping grain in large vats,
spreading it on the floor, and turning it daily until the acrospire is as long as the grain, followed by drying
in a kiln.
What does Free Amino Nitrogen (F.A.N.) represent in brewing?
It is the sum of amino acids in wort, which are necessary for good yeast health.
What factor determines the available Free Amino Nitrogen during mashing?
Protein modification during mashing affects the available FAN.
What is Fusarium and what effect does it have on crops?
Fusarium is a fungal disease that causes head blight in cereals, leading to crop losses.
Which country leads the world in hop cultivation?
Germany, with major growing regions such as Hallertau, Elbe-Saale, Tettnang, and Spalt.
How long have hops been grown in Hallertau, Germany?
Hops have been grown in Hallertau since 736 AD.
What is considered the quintessential German hop variety?
