As much as I enjoy a good German lager, a Czech pils, or a Belgian abbey beer, nothing tugs at my heart like a good British bitter. I figure it's the blood of all those working-class Nottingham souls calling for their "pint of bitter." Read more Ask Mr Wizard Measuring IBUs Q What does one alpha acid unit relate to or what does one IBU relate to? Is this like one Scoville unit in hot sauce? A The Scoville unit was developed by American chemist Wilbur Scoville in 1912 to rank the hotness of peppers. The test is organoleptic and is a limit of detection type sensory method using dilution. This is basically a process where the test sample... Read More Project Double Pipe Wort Chiller The selection and performance of wort chillers (heat exchangers) is a generally well-documented topic in homebrewing. However, most of the information available on wort chillers applies to the use of immersion, coiled counterflow and brazed plate chillers. An alternative design commonly used industrially...

This beer is made in the town of Bitburg in the Eifel Lake region of Germany's Rhineland. Bright gold in color, with a flashy carbonation and lasting pearly-white head, "Bit" is a classic northern German and Scandinavian style pilsner. All-malt Bitburger uses a proprietary yeast strain that gives the beer a super-clean finish. (5 gallons/19 L, all-grain) OG = 1.045 FG = 1.011 IBU = 38 SRM = 3 ABV = 4.5% Ingredients 8.75 lbs. (4 kg) German Pilsner malt 0.5 lb. (0.23 kg) Carafoam® malt 8.75 AAU Perle hops (60 min.) (1.1 oz./31 g at 8% alpha acid) Read more Article Brewing Priorities for Beginners Beer is easy to make. People brewed beer for thousands of years without the benefit of computers, digital wireless hydrometers, or PID controllers — or, for that matter, even basic thermometers and hydrometers. Because we do not have direct control over the biological processes that make beer, we rely on production procedures to make wort for yeast to ferment to produce the results we desire. All brewers follow the same process for converting grain to beer... Read more Ask Mr. Wizard Choosing bittering hops Q When substituting bittering hops, how important are the hop characteristics? It would seem that the boiling of the hops destroys most everything except the desired bitterness. Also, the hop substitution guide lists Northern Brewer as a substitute for Perle but not the reverse. Can you clarify this for me? A In my experience, variety does matter whether you are substituting hops in a recipe primarily for bittering or for aroma. The compounds in hops that contribute bitterness to beer are the alpha acids, with humulone, adhumulone and cohumulone being the most significant in terms of amount. Hop chemists use several methods... Read more Project Countertop All-Grain Brewing System There is often a common progression in homebrewing. Brewers begin making extract beer in a pot on the stove. Next comes steeping grains to tweak the flavor of the beer. For many, this is followed by the lure of all-grain brewing and the addition of a simple mash/lauter tun to their brewing setup. By this point, the homebrewer is hooked and begins eyeing full brewing systems with cryptic names like RIMS or HERMS, all while devising ways to hide the bills from the spouse.
