Every Beer Has A Story... View Table of Contents

We know that every beer has a story and that every brewer can make their own mark within the industry. That’s why we are proud to feature Wise Man Brewing, located in the historic Angelo Brothers building in downtown Winston-Salem, NC, on the front cover of this year’s catalog. For Wise Man Brewing it all began about 13 years ago in a kitchen. Sam Victory, a PhD chemist by day, bought himself a homebrew kit and started experimenting. The only rules were to have fun, make something tasty and clean up afterwards. As he got deeper into the hobby, Sam started bringing his brew to social events to share with friends, and soon developed a reputation as an accomplished brewer. After entering competitions and collecting some hardware, friends began to ask Sam when he would open his own brewery. Imagination began to take flight, he shared his idea with friends Jason Morehead and Mike Beverly, and together with their families, they decided to take the leap…this is when Wise Man Brewing was Born!

After 18 months of construction on the 90 year old Angelo Brothers building, on January 28, 2017, Wise Man opened their doors. Soon after, Ryan Jackle was hired as the Head Brewer, who studied brewing, distilling and fermentation at Rockingham Community College. As the brewery has grown, the spirit of discovery and innovation from the homebrewing days will continue to resonate as a Wise Man once said, “Make the beer you wish to see in the world.” Like Gusmer, Wise Man realizes that producing great beer is both an art and a science. At Gusmer, we have the technical staff and product lines that honor the rich history of the brewing process, while always looking to innovate. The cornerstone of Gusmer Enterprises’ culture is to work diligently in providing an intimate and personal customer experience to each and every individual who buys from us. We are happy to offer new ground-breaking products including Chr. Hansen’s new line of SmartBev products, mbt Brautechnik brewhouses, Christian Gresser tanks and yeast props, DENWEL inline gas injection systems as well as many more. We know these products and others can help at your brewery and we look forward to working together in Chr. Hansen SmartBev Harvest LB-1 at Wise Man Brewing Ryan Jackle, Head Brewer

helping to make your story-telling beer. Wishing You Every Brewing Success, Your Friends at Gusmer Enterprises, Inc.

NEER is produced using Chr. Hansen’s proprietary production method which ensures high product performance, consistency and low risk of contamination. The NEER product is delivered on dry-ice as a 1 kg frozen block that, after thawing, can be transferred to the fermentation vessel using the sterile connection tube included in the package. NEER is highly concentrated, 1 bag can be used to inoculate 212-425 bbl of wort and normally finishes fermentation within 3-5 days. Minimal maturation of the beer is required. Non-alcoholic Brewing Process Comparison Most non-alcoholic beers suffer from inferior organoleptic properties due to the ‘side-effects’ of the physical removal of ethanol or the application of cold-contact with regular brewers’ yeasts. NEER is a traditional brewing solution, which can produce full bodied, flavorful, non-alcoholic beers using our patented Pichia kluyveri strain.

IFF Danisco ® Brewing Enzymes

IFF is an industry leader in food, beverage, health, biosciences and sensorial experiences, science and creativity meet to create essential solutions for a better world. Gusmer Enterprises is proud to partner with an iconic brand to serve the brewing industry. Traditional brewing is based on enzymes produced by malted grain. Critical enzymes developed during malting of brewer’s grains include amylases, proteases and cellulases. These same critical enzymes are available in IFF brewing enzymes from Gusmer, giving you the tools to reduce cost, waste and energy consumption, accelerate production and achieve consistently high quality beer. Mashing Mashing converts starch to fermentable sugars through the activity of starch conversion enzymes. Starch is composed of glucose molecules linked together in a linear (amylose) or branched polymer (amylopectin). Alpha-amylases randomly hydrolyze α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch to produce smaller sugars and fragments of starch called dextrins that contribute to flavor, body and mouthfeel. Beta-amylases act only at the ends of starch molecules and fragments to produce maltose. Glucoamylases break off single molecules of glucose from starch molecules, dextrins and maltose.

The branched points in amylopectin can be broken with pullulanase, a starch-debranching enzyme, allowing amylase enzymes better access to starch molecules. Cellulases break down cell wall complexes to release starch for conversion. Using specific combinations or blends of all these enzyme types, brewers can control starch conversion to increase extract, achieve target attenuations, balance carbohydrate profile and assure consistency even with varying raw material. Wort Separation & Beer Filtration Wort separation and beer filtration enzymes - xylanase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, and arabinase - break down non-starch polysaccharides that can interfere with wort separation, clog filters and bind up starch molecules. The composition and amount of cell wall material varies widely depending on degree of malt modification, the source of malt and the growing conditions from year to year. Fruited beers introduce pectin haze and filtration problems that can be prevented with the use of pectinase enzymes. Improving mash separation increases wort quality and can benefit extract yield, as well as lower energy costs. Fermentation Enhancement Proper modification of barley during conversion to malt is necessary to produce enzymes, soluble protein, simplified carbohydrates, flavor and color. The enzymes produced during malting break down the grain endosperm, a protein-starch matrix, into smaller proteins and amino acids and further release starches. Under modified or poorly modified malt lack those enzymes. Supplemental protease and peptidase enzymes increase soluble protein and free amino nitrogen (FAN) in wort for yeast to thrive. Diacetyl Control

“We use a high percentage of flaked adjuncts in these “hazy” IPAs. The transfers from tun to kettle were always a nightmarish 3 to 4 hours when a typical transfer takes 50 minutes. LAMINEX ® C2K has turned that around to a normal transfer of 50 minutes for a 15 bbl batch.” — Andrew Kalinoski, Assistant Brewer Sycamore Brewing - Charlotte, NC

Traditional methods to reduce diacetyl require rests under warm conditions, with extended maturation times. Diacetyl rest can be shortened with enzymatic degradation of vicinal diketones (VDK’s), the precursors to diacetyl. Addition of alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase allows for shorter and more consistent maturation periods.

IFF liquid enzymes are available in a variety of pack sizes, ranging from jerricans to drums to IBC totes. Contact your Gusmer representative for availability and lead times.

View Table of Contents Cask Ale Preparation

Cask ale is a traditional offering associated with beers brewed in the British Isles. Today’s brewers are producing cask ale in casks, which are kegs that can accept side bungs and a keystone tap at the end of the keg. Primary fermented beer, at a temperature of approximately 45 o F and a yeast cell count of at least one million cells/ml, is transferred into the cask, along with auxiliary finings and a priming sugar. Auxiliary finings are silicates, alginates or isinglass added for thorough clarification and stabilization of the beer by agglomerating and settling yeast and other insoluble solids. The priming sugar, usually sucrose, is added to adjust the fermentable extract to the appropriate level. The beer is allowed to “condition” in the cask at the

retail outlet. The finings settle out and the carbonation is controlled with the use of spiles (soft spiles allows the CO 2 to escape, hard spiles plug the bung and allow the product to carbonate). The cask is then tapped through the keystone, which is positioned above the sediment, allowing clear conditioned beer/ale to be dispensed.

AB Vickers Finings and Antifoam

AB Vickers is the premier name in isinglass auxiliary finings. With roots in the United Kingdom, AB Vickers fully understands the tradition of isinglass finings for both brewhouse and cask conditioning applications. AB Vickers is also a major supplier of antifoam to the brewing industry. Gusmer Enterprises is proud to offer AB Vickers’ isinglass finings and antifoam in North America. Cryofine (CRY 151) Cryofine is purified isinglass in a convenient powder form. It is added to beer at the end of fermentation to speed maturation and improve filtration and clarity by fining out yeasts and protein particulate. For the purposes of rapid dissolution, enhanced performance, and long shelf life, the isinglass in Cryofine has been pre- hydrolyzed and freeze-dried. Cryofine also contributes to the actions of both silica gels and PVPP. Cryofine is regularly used in cask conditioned beers as auxiliary finings for solids settling and clarification. Pack Size: 1 lb Dose Rate: 1 - 5 g/hl; 0.4 - 2 oz/10 US bbl Foamsol S (FCS 130) Foamsol S silicone antifoam is an inert polymer which is highly effective in foam suppression in both the kettle and fermenter. Foamsol S preserves foam-positive proteins which contribute to the head retention quality of beer. One of the most important benefits of Foamsol S is increased iso-α-acid utilization from hops. Controlling foam in the fermenter will retain iso-α-acid and allow a reduction of up to 15% of the kettle hops. Other benefits include increased kettle and fermenter utilization, as well as eliminating the loss of product from foam during fermentation. Pack Size: 25 kg Dose Rate: 1 - 8 ml/hl; 0.03 - 0.3 oz/10 US bbl

Beer Stabilization Protein & Polyphenol Control Chill haze stabilization is an important consideration for beers that are distributed throughout a territory and require any degree of shelf stability. Most retailers and consumers expect clarity and no post-bottling sedimentation in beer on a consistent basis, and with today’s flavorful and wide varieties of beers, the potential for instability exists. Through the use of either silica-based

stabilizing agents or PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) polymer-based stabilizing agents, chill haze stabilization can be achieved without affecting flavor, aroma, body or head retention. These stabilizing agents are widely used, economical and readily available through Gusmer Enterprises. Chill haze is caused by the natural reaction of “sensitive proteins” (proteins rich in proline) and polyphenols, both of which are inherently found in beer. These sensitive proteins and polyphenols agglomerate to form larger colloids which are insoluble at cold storage and serving temperatures. The instability results in a precipitation which creates cloudy beer or bottle sediment. Stability of the beer can be achieved by removing either the sensitive proteins or the polyphenols, so that the two cannot so readily react with each other. Silica-based stabilizers, whether amorphous solids or colloidal liquids, used in the brewing process have a small particle size (8 nm to 16 microns) and are highly porous with typical surface areas from about 300 m 2 /g to more than 1,000 m 2 /g. These specially engineered silica particles are hydrophilic due to coverage of their surface by hydroxyl (silanol) groups. It is the interactions of proline with these silanol groups that enable the selective adsorption of sensitive proteins from beer. PVPP polymer-based stabilizers are approximately 50 microns in size and have a high affinity for flavonoid polyphenols via hydrogen and hydrophobic bonding. Both forms of stabilizing agents are ultimately removed from the beer through centrifugation or filtration. The choice to use either a silica-based stabilizer or a PVPP polymer-based stabilizer is up to the brewer, and for beers that are more difficult to stabilize, the use of both agents may synergistically result in stabilization.

PQ Corporation BRITESORB ® A100 – ( Silica Hydrogel ) Silica Hydrogel is an amorphous silica powder, which is non-dusting and free flowing, and has a moisture content of approximately 65%. BRITESORB A100 works through size exclusion. The surface of BRITESORB A100 is engineered with a moderately sized porosity, which selectively allows for the internal adsorption of haze-forming proteins while retarding the entry of larger, foam-positive proteins. An excellent choice for chillproofing lighter style beers, BRITESORB A100 has a high permeability factor that allows for faster filtration rates and longer filter runs.

PQ Corporation BRITESORB ® D300 – ( Silica Xerogel ) Silica Xerogel is an amorphous, free flowing powder of approximately 5% moisture content. Pound for pound, it is a more effective stabilizer than Silica Hydrogel. BRITESORB D300 utilizes the same adsorption principals as A100, but in addition, BRITESORB D300 is activated by a patented process that increases its affinity for sensitive protein. This typically allows for short contact times and reduced dose rates. A good candidate to stabilize difficult brews, BRITESORB D300 has a good permeability factor and can be used in conjunction with PVPP.

The resulting silica/protein complexes form relatively compact sediment cakes (tank bottoms) that aid in separation (through filtration) from the stabilized beer. Nalco 1072 is a ready-to-use solution that offers convenience in use. Particle Size : ~ 8 nm Dose Rate: 200-500 ppm Contact Time: ~ 8 hr Sizes: 5 USG pails, 55 USG polydrums BASF Divergan ® F and Divergan ® RS PVPP (Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) Gusmer is a major distributor of Divergan F to the beer industry. Manufactured by BASF, Divergan F is used throughout the world to chill haze stabilize beer. BASF’s unique polymerization process produces the purest polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, which more selectively adsorbs the polyphenols that can cause instabilities. There is evidence that Divergan F also helps to stabilize flavor through the reduction of flavonoid polyphenols, which are particularly prone to polymerize into products of higher molecular weight and potential bitter flavor. Divergan F works quickly, and its short contact time means it can frequently be dosed inline, but it can also be dosed in a batch method. Divergan RS is a regenerable PVPP, which works in the same manner, but offers some economies to larger facilities that are set up to regenerate it.

Preparation of Stabilizers Kieselsol: These solutions come ready-made and can be added as described in the dosing section below. Hydrogel/Xerogel/PVPP: The amorphous powder should be mixed with deoxygenated water at a 10% w/w ratio. (1 kg powder: 10 liters DAW or ~8 lb: 10 USG DAW). The use of a CO 2 sparger in the slurry water will help to deoxygenate the water. Agitation: Hydrogel/Xerogel – Agitate slurry for at least 20 minutes prior to addition. PVPP – Agitate slurry for 1-2 hours prior to addition. Dosing of Stabilizers Inline Method: The kieselsol, hydrogel/xerogel or PVPP slurries are dosed proportionally into the beer stream by means of a metering pump. The products are allowed to react with the beer. Depending upon contact time required for each product, a buffer tank may be utilized. Resultant sediments should be removed via filtration depending on the requirements of the specific stabilizer. Batch Method: Add the kieselsol or hydrogel/xerogel/ PVPP slurries into the product while filling the finishing tank. Add the stabilizing agent proportionally during the fill or as a single shot method through the spray ball arm. Once the stabilizing agent has reacted with the respective protein or tannin, it will settle to the bottom of the tank as sediment. Settling times vary due to tank geometry and stabilizer/protein/tannin complex size. The stabilized beer can be separated from the sediment prior to filtration and any leftover sediment is easily removed during CIP. Inadvertent over-dosing or contact time of several days causes no negative effects in the beer.

DDW, The Color House Caramel for Brewing

Every day more than 1.5 billion servings of food and beverages containing DDW colorants are consumed around the globe. With seven caramel manufacturing sites on five continents, DDW is the world leader in caramel color.

Caramel in the Brewing Process A valuable brewing ingredient for more than a century, caramel contributes to the character of beer on every continent. Caramel provides color, flavor and consistency to beer. It also has applications in a variety of related products, including cider and non-alcoholic malted beverages. What is Caramel? Caramel results from the controlled heat treatment of carbohydrates, typically glucose syrup. The glucose and food-grade catalysts are used to facilitate the browning process and provide stability. The finished beer caramel, a long polymer chain, is a positively-charged colloidal solution and is therefore stable in beer, which also has a net positive charge. Caramel is inert, physically stable when stored properly and has bacteriostatic properties. Why Use Caramel?

Caramel is a great way to adjust beer color throughout any part of the brewing process. Caramel allows you to adjust color in the kettle, as late as final filtration or in the serving tank. With caramel you can darken your beer without adding the astringent flavors associated with dark malt. Dosage Dosage will vary by style. Traditional ales require 0.02% or more of caramel coloring to add color. Certain dark beers, including some stouts and bocks, might require a higher caramel dosage. Lagers require less caramel to obtain color consistency than other types of beers (typically 0.01%). Adjusting a lager type beer to a bock beer color would require an addition of 0.05-0.075%. Caramel Product Selection Gusmer offers six different grades of caramel color to the brewing industry. Most products come in 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums or 275 gallon totes. (The total weight may vary from product to product depending on the density of the material.)
