Scientific Digest
How good is the presence of yeast for dry hopping?
ABSTRACT
A presentation at the Young Scientist Symposium described brewing trials and dry hopping with yeast present versus yeast removed. The US researchers found that the presence of yeast was advantageous in this instance as the method of dry hop removal was by centrifugation and the presence of yeast was found to have several benefits on the operation of the centrifuge but also for the flavour stability of the beer. The researchers also found that with the removal of yeast cells, measurable quantities of myrcene with an effect on the aroma and flavor of the beer were
removed.

Australia: Melbourne brewery attempts to battle CUB to revive historic beers
|
A Melbourne brewery seeking to revive historic beers is taking on beverage giant Carlton and United Breweries (CUB) over the trademark of more than 50 beer labels, ABC News reported on April, 15.
A two-day hearing into the matter began in Melbourne on Tuesday, April, 16.
Thunder Road Brewing Company is hoping to remake many of Australia's historic and forgotten beers.
It says CUB, which is part of South African-owned Foster's, no longer uses the historic labels and should not be able to retain the trademarks.
Thunder Road chief executive Philip Withers says consumers should have the right to drink the labels because they represent Australia's rich beer history.
"We claim they've actually been hoarding these trademarks, they've been banking these trademarks, and that's in order to maintain their domination of the Australian brewing industry," Mr Withers said.
"There's some great examples or regional labels, for example Richmond, Richmond Lager and the actual name Richmond, that was a brewery that was shut down soon after it was sold and bought by CUB in the 1960s.
"The mark's virtually disappeared, nobody remembers that mark, then there are marks from the mid-19th century such as McCrackens - again that's a mark that reflects the history of Australian brewing,

Ireland: Diageo to close its state-of-the-art plant in Waterford
|
Diageo has announced that it intends to pull out of its Waterford city facility ending hundreds of years of brewing on the site, The Irish Times reported on April, 11.
Guinness will close its plant by the end of the year with the loss of 16 full-time and six support staff.
The plant makes Guinness flavour essence (GFE), a liquid concentrate made from barley, which is used in all Guinness brewed worldwide.
Though parent company Diageo said the plant was under review, the closure of the operation still came as a shock to the workers involved.
Diageo invested €40 million in the brewery in 2004 and it remains a state-of-the-art facility.
The company is now looking to consolidate its brewing operations in an expanded facility in St. James’ Gate.
Siptu representative Terry Bryan said the workers were particularly shocked that the plant is closing at the end of this year.
When Diageo announced that it was closing its Dundalk and Kilkenny facilities, the lead in time was almost five years.
He said that the workers did not intend to take the proposed closure as a “fait accompli” and would be making the case for it to remain open.

North Korea: Beer demand outstrips supply but brewing approval from authorities may just never come
|
Setting up a brewery in North Korea seemed like a good idea to Harry Kim and his Chinese friends two years ago. Everyone likes beer, even in one of the world's most closed and least understood countries, they reckoned.
Kim and his partners even got the beer flowing after workers strapped equipment onto a truck in the Chinese border town of Tumen and drove it to the North Korean coastal city of Chongjin. Chinese engineers taught the locals how to brew. City officials loved the taste, Harry Kim was quoted as saying by Reuters on April, 12.
But the small Chinese-North Korean venture ran aground within months after failing to get final approval from authorities in Pyongyang.
Kim's experience is an illustration of both the challenge and the potential of doing business in North Korea, which has grabbed global attention in recent weeks with its threats to wage nuclear war on South Korea and the United States.
"It wasn't rejected. We just waited. The central government didn't come and say 'no', but the documents were just never issued and so we eventually gave up," said Kim, a Chinese national of Korean descent living in Tumen in China's northeastern Jilin province.

Malawi: Carlsberg Malawi hikes prices by an average of 20%
|
Carlsberg Malawi has confirmed it has adjusted prices for beer and soft drinks by an average of 20 percent, Nyasa Times reported on April, 15.
With the new prices, the cost of 300 millilitre Carlsberg Green is now pegged at $0.7 (K300); while the 640 millilitre bottle is now selling at $ 1.13 (K470).
The brands of Carlsberg Special Brew and Stout are selling at $ 0.8 (K320) from $ 0.7 (K270).
Carlsberg Malawi corporate communications officer Towela Pilling attributed the price increases to “ a number of variables, including raw material costs, commodity price cycles, transportation, freight costs (fuel cost), exchange rates and the general inflation outlook.”
The brewer said they cannot completely rule out price adjustments in the course of time.
Economic observers say the price increase would impact on inflationary pressures.
Malawi inflation is hovering around 35 percent, according to National Statistics Office in Zomba.

UK: New spring barley growers urged to treat their crops as if they were destined for malting
|
New spring barley growers are being urged to treat their crops as if they were destined for malting and to take any premium as a bonus, Farmers’ Weekly reported on April, 16.
Growers are advised to get nitrogen fertiliser on as early as possible and aim for malting as there is little yield downside if the crop ends up in the feed bin.
The area of spring barley is set to soar to the highest level since the late 1980s, after many growers failed to drill all their winter crops in the wet autumn.
Most spring barley varieties are malting ones, so as long as nitrogen is applied early many crops could make malting with no yield penalty.
"Treat it as a malting crop and if you get a premium then that is a bonus," Tim Mayhew, agronomy services manager at farming group Velcourt, is quoted as saying.
His experience of growing malting barley in southern England is that all nitrogen needs to be applied by the end of the first week of April, and his crops always go for malting.
Late drilling because of the cold spring weather makes this more difficult as nitrogen will have to go on later than in Mr Mayhew's recipe

South Africa & UK: Burn Stewart Distillers sold to South Africa’s Distell
|
Distell has acquired Scotch whisky firm Burn Stewart Distillers from CL World Brands and Angostura Limited for ZAR2.2 bln (US$244 mln).
The deal, announced on April, 15 gives the South African company ownership of Burn Stewart's single malt whisky distilleries, a bottling hall and its marketing and distribution operations. All Burn Stewart whisky stocks currently in maturation also transfer to Distell.
The three distilleries are:
Bunnahabhain, on Islay, which makes Burn Stewart's flagship single malt of the same name;
Tobermory, the only distillery on the Isle of Mull, which produces Tobermory and Ledaig single malts;
Deanston Distillery near Stirling, where Scottish Leader, the top blended Scotch in its category in Taiwan, is produced.
“Our acquisition of Burn Stewart is a very significant development for Distell from a strategic perspective, but also given the rich and proud history and heritage of the brands involved," said Distell MD Jan Scannell. "This gives us an outstanding foundation from which to build, while cherishing their individual traditions.”
The deal follows a JV established in 2007 between Distell and Burn Stewart in which the two parties co-owned and marketed three Scotch whiskies – Bunnahabhain, Black Bottle and Scottish Leader - in sub-Saharan Africa.
Burn Stewart also operates a sales and marketing branch in
