One of the most useful books for beverage microbiology. A “must-have” for microscopic examination and visual identification of microorganisms and sediments in wines, beers and juices! Illustrated Guide to Microbes and Sediments in Wine, Beer and Juice is a microscope companion book that includes over 30 different species of yeast, bacteria and mold commonly associated with beverages, as well as frequently encountered sediments. This book is an extensive compilation of photographs and reference information printed on durable, spill-resistant paper and spiral bound so the pictures lie flat when in use with a microscope.

Extract produced is found by accurately determining the volume and the “gravity” of the wort collected in the starting tub, Potential extract is the sum of the products obtained by multiplying the weights of malt and adjuncts by their respective laboratory “as is” yields (fine grind yield for malt).

Example: How many bbls of beer of 3.8% and 3.2% by weight of alcohol, respectively, must be blended in order to obtain 650 bbls of beer of 3.6% alcohol? Let X = number of bbls of 3.8% beer. Then (650 – X ) = number of bbls of 3.2% beer. Substituting in formula: X x 3.8 + (650 - X ) x 3.2 = 650 x 3.6 0.6 X = 260 X = 433 Answer: Mix 433 bbls of 3.8% beer with 217 bbls of 3.2% beer.

The microorganisms were obtained from culture collections located around the world. Each organism is featured in three photographs: (1) a typical colony grown on commercially available culture media, (2) a color stain, and (3) a phase contrast view of the microorganisms grown in wine, beer or juice. This volume includes translations of the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. Therefore, it is an essential resource for brewers worldwide. It’s a comprehensive reference book that will quickly become a standard for any technical brewing library.
