This new book, the first in the Practical Guides for Beer Quality series, offers an easy-to-read, yet comprehensive and authoritative description of all the issues that impact the quality and quantity of foam on beer. FOAM guides the reader through the many influences that impact foam, culminating in a step-by-step explanation of how problems with too much or too little foam can be interpreted and resolved. The book takes the reader through the role that foam plays in perceived quality, the factors that impact foam, and foam’s contributions to all stages of brewing, from barley to dispense. It also describes how to measure head stability and cling and diagnose problems with overfoaming (gushing). The book might justly be called a “foam owner’s manual” and will be of interest to brewers; suppliers to the brewing industry; scientists studying foam; brewing professionals at many levels; craft and home brewers; beer servers in bars, restaurants, and hotels; and any serious lover of beer. It will enhance courses in malting and brewing science and any class where foaming and bubbles are covered. 2012; 8" x 10" softcover; 80 pages; 20 color images; 14 black and white images; ISBN 978-1-938119-00-2; 1 pound; Item No. 19002; $49.95

Brewing Intensification
NEW
By Graham G. Stewart Like many in manufacturing-based industries, economic pressures are forcing craft brewers to produce beer with leaner, more efficient, and cost-effective techniques. These techniques have helped breweries increase their raw material production efficiency, increase beer volume per unit time, and reduce brewing time. This form of leaner manufacturing is called “brewing intensification.” Brewing Intensification is written by renowned brewing scientist Graham G. Stewart, and it ultimately can help brewers achieve leaner manufacturing and save on production costs. The book discusses the concept of lean manufacturing as it is applied to brewing and distilling. It also covers intensification in all aspects of the brewing process. 2014; 8" × 10" softcover; 108 pages; ISBN 978-1-881696-25-4; 1 pound; Item No. 96254; $59.95

Ideal for Courses!
By Stephen R. Holle “If you ever searched for a simple equation to convert specific gravity or worried about how much wort is required to prime your finished beer, or anything in between these stages of the brewing process, then this book is what you’ve been searching for.” — Michigan Beer Guide
A Handbook of Basic Brewing Calculations is a collection of applied computations sourced from a survey of authoritative textbooks that use quantitative methods to show the brewer how to translate the “whats and whys” of brewing science into practical brewing applications that result in more consistent and higher quality beer. Explore step-by-step calculations from malt through dispense for increased control over brewing variables and improved consistency. Understand the science behind each equation and its applicability to brewing to ensure correct variables are used in equations, and learn each mathematical step in solving equations to thoroughly comprehend how solutions are reached. This handbook shows the brewer how to determine what weight of gypsum will provide the desired ppm of calcium in the brewing water, what mash water temperature will achieve the desired mash temperature, what volume of yeast slurry will provide the desired yeast cell pitching rate, and what weight of priming will provide the desired carbonation level. 2003; 8.5" × 11" softcover; spiral binding; 96 pages; 1 pound; ISBN 978-0-9718255-1-2; Item No: 25513; $49
