NATURALversusCHILLED AND FILTERED BEERS

Clifford Beers

A great reformer has passed on. Clifford Whittingham Beers died on July 9th, 1943, at Providence, U.S.A., but his fine enthusiastic and farseeing spirit has left behind it work which persists and grows. At a time when such ideas as his were regarded as almost too progressive, and, in some quarters indeed, as subversive and revolutionary, he, a recovered patient, demonstrated the value of indivi...

Characterization of Stabilized and Unstabilized Beers

The preparation and properties of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and silica gel and the mechanisms by which they stabilize beer are discussed. In stabilized beer, chill stability was associated with lower protein sensitivity to precipitation with tannins. Approximately 60% of the proteoses were of low molecular weight (<10,000 daltons). The most acidic of these proteoses were the least stable ...

Sinking Bubbles in Stout Beers

9 A surprising phenomenon witnessed by many is the sinking bubbles seen in a settling pint of 10 stout beer. Bubbles are less dense than the surrounding fluid so how does this happen? Previous 11 work has shown that the explanation lies in a circulation of fluid promoted by the tilted sides of the 12 glass. However, this work has relied heavily on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations....
