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 USA: History suggests there could be more room for craft industry growth - experts
There are more U.S. breweries than ever before. And they are opening at a record pace of two-a-day, SCTimes reported on December 17.

Yet history suggest there could be more room for growth.

“We are still way off the all-time per capita total," argues Bart Watson, economist for the Brewer's Association. "We have a long ways to catch the 1870s.

"People talk about bubble (burst) but they don't understand what it means. The key is to continuing to find a local demand."

By the end of 2013, there were 2,863 craft breweries, a growth of about 400 from 2012.

In 2015, the total number surpassed 4,000. And specifically at the end of November, the number of U.S. breweries surpassed the previous high total of 4,131 set in 1873.

Watson said the industry saw the biggest growth in IPA styles — he refers to it the 'IPA-fication' of beer. Also growing is lower-alcohol "sessionable" beers. Watson speculates the next style growth could come in lighter blonde ale and gose-style beers.

Much of the brewery growth is coming outside of communities like Denver and Seattle, cities known for their established craft beer scenes. Many are also setting up in smaller communities, often without an extensive previous brewing history.

Brewery news Philippines: Court of Tax Appeals decides to return erroneously collected excise tax to San Miguel Brewery
The Court of Tax Appeals has directed the Bureau of Internal Revenue to return over P699 million “erroneously” collected excise tax to San Miguel Brewery, a subsidiary of San Miguel Corp, The Standard reported on December 18.

In an 18-page order, the tax court en banc upheld the previous decision of the Third Division that San Miguel Light should not be subject to higher excise tax rate because it was a new product.

Contrary to BIR’s revised classification, the court said SML was not a variant of the old San Miguel Pale Pilsen that would subject it to a higher tax bracket.

San Miguel Brewery paid the tax in protest in 2010 to be able to withdraw from warehouses and distribute the product.

The tax court said San Miguel Light was different from San Miguel Pale Pilsen since it was labeled by the manufacturer as a new fermented liquor.

According to the CTA, the size, shape, and color of the two products were different.

It said San Miguel Light was introduced in the market between January 1997 to December 2003, the BIR classified it then as a new brand.

Pursuant to Section 143 of the Tax Code, the court said the classification by the BIR could not ...More info on site
