Explain what common ingredients, additives, and adjuncts are. How are these three used in the brewing process? a) Common ingredients for brewing include water, grain or malt extracts, hops, and additional fermentable sugars. Adjuncts include flavorings which hasten fermentation. Additives include Irish Moss and other fining agents. b) Common ingredients for brewing include grain and malt extracts, hops, and yeast. Adjuncts include fermentable materials other than barley. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is one additive that is rarely recommended due to the off-flavors it imparts to one's beer. c) Common ingredients for brewing include malts (DME and LME) and hops, but not grains (which are adjuncts). In addition to grains, adjuncts include other sources of fermentable sugars. Bentonite and polyvinylpolypyrrolidone are examples of additives. d) Common ingredients for brewing include water, malts (and extracts), grains, hops, and various strains of yeast. Adjuncts may include a variety of non-barley cereals and sugars that contribute to certain flavors, colors, and compositional goals. Clarifying agents are additives that may be used in order to precipitate suspended solids from a finished beer.

Beer production begins with breaking down 1.____ in barley to produce glucose. This is done using an enzyme called 2.____ . The glucose is then utilized in fermentation by yeast. In light, or low-carb, beer almost all the starch is converted to mono-saccharides so that the bacteria will consume the majority of carbohydrates which decreases the 3. ____content of the beer. The beer is then diluted with water to bring the alcohol content down to the level required by law, therefore this is not considered 4. ____

Sort the statements based on whether they apply to the production of wine, beer, or both: Fruit is the starting material. Oenococcus oeni is added to reduce acidity. Long-chain alcohols and esters provide flavor. Grain is the starting material. Hops provide additional flavor. Starch in the starting material must be broken down prior to fermentation. The starting material has a high concentration of monosaccharides. Beverage Wine Beer Both
