Scientific Digest


MECHANICS OF DRY HOPPING

ABSTRACT
A crucial part when talking about dry hopping is handling parameters, e.g. how much do hop particles swell during dry hopping, and is particle size distribution of importance? Does temperature affect process parameters, etc? This German team looked into various parameters and found that different methods for stirring and mixing, as well as different contact times have only little effect in regards to particle size distribution, but they found that wet density increased with increasing temperatures and permeability decreases with increasing temperatures.

Brewery news Taiwan & Vietnam: Gold Medal Taiwan Beer reportedly close to signing deal on opening brewery in Vietnam
Gold Medal Taiwan Beer, a century-old brand brewed by the state-owned Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corp., will open a brewery in Vietnam in the near future, a source familiar with the matter was quoted as saying by China Post on December 14.

The Taiwanese and Japanese companies are expected to sign a contract on December 17 at Taiwan Trade Center's representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, and R.O.C. Representative to Vietnam Huang Chih-peng will also be present, the source said.

Under the deal, Sapporo Vietnam will be responsible for production of Taiwan Beer in the southern province of Long An near Ho Chi Minh City, while a Vietnamese company will handle the marketing, according to the source.

Taiwan Beer is expected to hit the Vietnamese market before March 2016, in the first overseas venture by Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corp. in alcoholic products.

Brewery news Spain & India: Mahou SA eyeing potential launch of its San Miguel beer in India
Spanish beer giant Mahou SA is eying a potential launch of San Miguel beer to boost its presence in the Indian market. Mahou, which owns he trademark in Europe, has had early discussions with San Miguel Corporation (SMC) of Philippines in this regard, The Financial Times reported on December 16.

Barley news Argentina: New president announces large tax cuts on agricultural exports
Argentina's new pro-business president, Mauricio Macri, announced large tax cuts on agricultural exports on December 14, fulfilling a key campaign pledge but raising fears of grain and soybean gluts on world markets, Yahoo News UK reported.

Macri, who took office on December 10, had promised to slash the South American farming giant's steep taxes on agricultural exports, which triggered major protests by producers against former president Cristina Kirchner's administration.

Export taxes will be eliminated altogether for wheat, corn and sorghum, and for soybeans the tax will drop from 35 percent to 30 percent, Agriculture Minister Ricardo Buryaile told reporters.

Taxes on wheat and corn exports were previously 23 and 20 percent, respectively.

"I am going to sign the decree today," Macri said in a speech to farmers in the town of Pergamino, in the heart of the Argentine Pampas, the fertile plains that are the national breadbasket.

The taxes had been introduced in 2008 under Kirchner.

Protests over the steep rates paralyzed the agriculture sector that year and turned into a crisis for her government.

Farmers accused Kirchner of saddling the agricultural industry with an unfair share of the national tax burden, hurting their international competitiveness.

Macri vowed those days were over.

"Let's not think of things in terms ...More info on site


Barley news Canada: Japan’s Zen-Noh Grain Corp. and GrainCorp establish new grain joint venture in Canada
A major Japanese farm co-operative and the Australian owner of Canada Malting are staking a new joint claim in Canada’s Prairie grain handling sector, CountryGuide reported on December 14.

Tokyo-based Zen-Noh Grain Corp. (ZGC) and Sydney-based GrainCorp on December 14 announced plans to build new grain origination sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan, through a 50/50 Canadian-incorporated joint venture to be based in Calgary.

GrainCorp said the companies are now “actively looking” at sites in both provinces for what will be “a fully integrated supply chain for the origination, marketing, storage, handling, distribution and exporting of Canadian grain and oilseed.”

The joint venture, dubbed GrainsConnect Canada, is budgeted for C$120 million in its start-up phase, including construction and commissioning at its yet-to-be-chosen sites.

GrainCorp said it will put up C$30 million from its own cash and debt facilities for that phase; Australian media report that ZGC will put up another C$30 million. The joint venture will source the remaining C$60 million from financial institutions, GrainCorp said.

Pending due diligence on potential sites and the customary regulatory and planning approvals, construction is to be staged “progressively” from the latter half of fiscal 2016 through to the end of fiscal 2018, GrainCorp said.

GrainsConnect considers Alberta and Saskatchewan “attractive” ...More info on site
