Review: This book looks at the practical issues involved in malting and brewing. The 20 chapters are by invited authors from the USA, Netherlands, |UK, Germany and Finland. The authors begin by reviewing recent improvements in the materials used, such as cereals, adjuncts (other materials that add carbohydrates and protein to the wort), malt and hops, as well as ways of optimizing the use of water. They go on to discuss the latest developments in technologies involved – fermentation, accelerated processing, filtration, stabilization, and packaging. The last part of the book concentrates on health, safety and quality control, with chapters on brewery sanitation, waste handling, QA schemes, and control systems for chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses.
