Discover the science of beer and beer making Ever wondered just how
grain and water are transformed into an effervescent, alcoholic
beverage? From prehistory to our own time, beer has evoked awe and
fascination; it seems to have a life of its own. Whether you're a
home brewer, a professional brewer, or just someone who enjoys a
beer, The Chemistry of Beer will take you on a fascinating journey,
explaining the underlying science and chemistry at every stage of
the beer making process. All the science is explained in clear,
non-technical language, so you don't need to be a PhD scientist to
read this book and develop a greater appreciation for the world's
most popular alcoholic drink. The Chemistry of Beer begins with an
introduction to the history of beer and beer making. Author Roger
Barth, an accomplished home brewer and chemistry professor, then
discusses beer ingredients and the brewing process. Next, he
explores some core concepts underlying beer making. You'll learn
chemistry basics such as atoms, chemical bonding, and chemical
reactions. Then you'll explore organic chemistry as well as the
chemistry of water and carbohydrates. Armed with a background in
chemistry principles, you'll learn about the chemistry of brewing,
flavor, and individual beer styles. The book offers several
features to help you grasp all the key concepts, including: *
Hundreds of original photographs and line drawings * Chemical
structures of key beer compounds * Glossary with nearly 1,000
entries * Reference tables * Questions at the end of each chapter
The final chapter discusses brewing at home, including safety
issues and some basic recipes you can use to brew your own beer.
There's more to The Chemistry of Beer than beer. It's also a fun
way to learn about the science behind our technology and
environment. This book brings life to chemistry and chemistry to
life.
