Scientific Digest


THE YEAST TAKES IT ALL!

ABSTRACT
Beta-myrcene is a potent but also very volatile hop aroma compound that can contribute to hop flavours with "herbaceous", "resinous", "green", "balsamic", "fresh hops". Too high concentrations of myrcene sometimes are considered unpleasant in regards to flavour. A German team worked with the hop variety Mosaic with different yeast strains to see where the myrcene actually ends up. They confirmed the release of hop aroma compounds during fermentation in the gas phase with increasing amounts at higher fermentation temperatures, and were also able to show that the yeast basically absorbs all of the myrcene with no possibilities to redissolving it in beer again. Whereas other hop aroma compounds such as linalool are not influenced significantly by the yeast.

Brewery news Japan: Kirin to expand in health food and beverages
Kirin Holdings Co Ltd aims to expand in health food and beverages, its chief executive said, as the Japanese brewery adopts a different strategy from rivals which have spent big on breweries abroad to offset a drop in domestic beer consumption, Reuters reported on February 22.

Japan’s second-biggest beer maker earns almost 40 percent of profit from beer and other alcoholic drinks sold at home. But with industry data showing a 13th consecutive fall in domestic beer shipments last year, Kirin and peers like Asahi Group Holdings Ltd have been seeking growth elsewhere.

“I wish we could just focus on the beer business. That’s something we fully understand,” Yoshinori Isozaki said in an interview. “But we cannot achieve sustainable growth from that business alone.”

The comments reflect challenges in the beer industry both in Japan and globally, as aging populations and changing consumer tastes in increasingly health-conscious developed economies limit growth prospects for makers of alcoholic drinks.

In response, Asahi - which has long derived a sizeable chunk of revenue from Japan’s biggest-selling “Super Dry” beer - has spent $11 billion over the past two years to buy beer brands across Europe from Anheuser-Busch InBev NV.

Preventing Kirin from similarly expanding is the lack of ...More info on site

Brewery news China: BrewDog looking to open brewery in China
Scottish craft brewer BrewDog is looking to open a brewery in China to capitalize on the fast-growing market for premium beer, Ecns.cn reporte don February 22.

China is the company's second-largest international market and the brewer said with the help of its distributor, it has made BrewDog one of the well-known and widely drunk craft beers in China.

In 2016, BrewDog's export to China grew by 117 percent.

The brewery is looking to raise at least 10 million pounds ($13.9m) in its latest equity crowdfunding scheme, with a stretch goal of up to 50 million pounds ($69.9m) to further its global expansion.

This also includes the construction of a brewery in Australia.

"We feel we can only really take advantage of the Asian opportunity by having a brewery in Asia and we are now actively looking at locations and opportunities in the regions," Brewdog told The Scotsman newspaper.

The craft beer brand also revealed plans to build the world's first craft beer hotel as part of its expansion plans at its headquarters in Aberdeenshire in Scotland.

China is a key market for international beer brands and analysts believe the demand for craft beer will continue to increase as disposable incomes rise.

Brewery news USA: Boston Beer reports 5.9% drop in Q4 net revenue
The Boston Beer Company reported a fourth-quarter 5.9% drop in net revenue to $206.3 million, down $13.1 million from the same period last year, according to a company release.

Shipments declined 7.7% during the period to about 898,000 barrels, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.

The company reported $30.5 million in net income for the fourth quarter, or $2.57 per diluted share, an uptick of $8.4 million, or 82 cents per diluted share, from the year-ago period. The bump was mainly due to a one-time benefit of $1.72 per diluted share from the corporate tax cut enacted in late December, plus a gross margin increase, although the company said that was partially offset by lower shipments and more media and digital advertising.

Boston Beer projects full-year 2018 earnings per diluted share to be between $6.30 and $7.30, reflecting the uncertain volume outlook, and added that actual numbers could vary significantly from the current projection.

Boston Beer continues to struggle in a market that's crowded and competitive, but it isn't for lack of trying.

Barley news UK: Spring barley growers encouraged to increase their seed rates if drilling is delayed
UK’s spring barley growers are being encouraged to increase their seed rates if drilling is delayed and seed-beds are not ideal after very wet winter weather, the FarmersWeekly reported on February 21.

Drilling is likely to be pushed back this spring due to cold and wet soil, and even in early drilling areas such as the South Downs spring drilling could be two weeks away.

Mike Thornton, agronomist with advisory group ProCam, says growers should not rush to drill in poor conditions and they need to hold fire until soils dry and warm up and then raise seed rates.

“Growers should be thinking of pushing seed rates up as they can expect greater losses due to poor soil conditions,” he tells Farmers Weekly.

For early drilling into good seed-beds, growers might look at a seed rate of 300-325 seeds/sq m, but if delayed into late March or early April the rate might be pushed up to 350-400 seeds/sq m, he says.

In addition, growers need to hold back from drilling too early as good seed-beds will give better seed to soil contact and so good conditions for residual blackgrass herbicides to work.

If growers have already ordered their seed then he suggests they should still increase ...More info on site
