wesbed Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) Did you ever wonder, when enjoying a glass of Budweiser... What the freak is Beechwood Aging? I found the answer here: Yeast (Budweiser yeast is a lager yeast) is added to the cooled wort in the primary fermentation tanks. It can take up to 6 days for the yeast to convert the fermentable sugars to carbon dioxide and alcohol. During this stage of the brewing process, the wort becomes beer. After a layer of beechwood chips is spread on the bottom of the lager tanks, the beer is transferred into the tanks. A portion of freshly yeasted wort called Kraeusen is added. Beechwood Aging is part of secondary fermentation in which the yeast settles on the beechwood chips and works until the beer is completely fermented. As secondary fermentation occurs, the beer is naturally carbonated and its final flavor develops - resulting in a smooth-tasting beer. This expensive process is unique to Anheuser-Busch.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Yes, and notice how they use rice during the "mash" (step 3)? That's what gives you that good 'ol Weezer headache. Accept no substitutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesbed Posted April 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 To me, Budweiser is the standard, mass-produced, American beer. There is nothing really good or really bad about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesbed Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 illogical....illogical....drink Budweiser...but enjoy....illogical... I used to be a Beer Snob. I drank beer ony if it was served in a bottle. My beer motto was, "I don't drink beer that comes in a can." If I chose a domestic beer, it had to be a microbrew. Otherwise, I desired a European import. I considered Sam Adams to be adequate only for a Beer Snob in training. Then, one day, I decided some of the cheap beers were good. Sometimes, goddamned good. I felt sad watching my Beer Snob dreams fade. I caught myself enjoying Old Milwaukee and Schlitz as much as I enjoyed Guinness, Bass, and Pilsner Urquell. At the same time I found a new sense of freedom in that I could choose ANY kind of beer and find something good, something enjoyable and appealing. I'm still a Jazz Snob. I can't shake the jazz snobbishness. Although the music has never seemed snobby to me. More like cool and catchy, mind-clearing, relaxing and exhilerating. Errr... maybe I just drink too much beer?

It had something to do with high-heeled shoes and Duke Pearson. I think I was too much under the influence to remember. I don't know. Maybe not?

JSngry Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 I don't know what's worse, Beechwood Aging, Aging Beechnut, or aging Beach Boys. Probably the last one, but it's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
