Definition of Beer
• An alcoholic beverage produced by the
fermentation of sugar-rich extracts derived
from cereal grains or other starchy
materials.

History of Brewing
• Man has been making beer since the dawn of
civilization.
– Where grain was grown, beer was made.

History of Brewing
• Sumarian beer recipe
– 3000 BC
• Resembled liquid bread:
– Barley and Emmer
– Spices / fruits
– No Hops
• Safe, nutritious, and
exhilarating beverage.

The Role of Yeast in Brewing
• Unwittingly, ancient brewers domesticated yeast.
– Selected yeast that made good beer.
• Deduced that yeast was important to make beer.
– Collect the creamy foam or sediment from one brew.
– Use it to pitch the next brew.
Did not know what yeast was.

The Role of Yeast in Brewing
• 1680 Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
– Observed yeast in beer.
• 1837 - Cagniard Latour
– Microbe is responsible for alcoholic fermentation.
• 1839 -Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wohler
– Alcohol is produced by a chemical process in which dead and
decaying yeast participated.
– Satired Latour’s theory in Annalen der Chemie . . .

….small animal which sips sugar through its snout, and
excretes alcohol from its gut and carbonic acid from its
urinary organ.

The Role of Yeast in Brewing
• 1866 - Louis Pasteur
– Yeast was responsible for alcoholic
fermentation.
• 1883 - Emil Christian Hansen
– Developed pure culture technique
– Isolated pure cultures of brewing yeasts

Brewing Yeasts
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Types of Brewing Yeasts
• Two types of brewing yeasts, originally classified
on flocculation behavior…
• Top-fermenting
– Ale yeast
– Weiss yeast
• Bottom-fermenting
– Lager yeast

Ale Yeast
• Predominant brewing yeast prior to the mid-1800s.
– Displaced by lager yeast
• Strains are genetically more diverse - several origins
• Warm fermentation temperatures: 65 to 72 °F.
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Weiss Yeast
• Bavarian origins - closely related.
• Produces beer that has spicy, clove, vanilla, and
nutmeg flavor notes - POF.
– PAD1 gene phenylacrylic acid decarboxylase
– Decarboxylation of ferulic acid forms 4-vinyl-guaiacol,
which gives the characteristic clove flavor.
• Warm fermentation temperatures: 65 to 72 °F.
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Lager Yeast
• Bavarian origin.
– 1400s in Munich - cool fermentations (selective pressure)
– Taken to Pilsen and Copenhagen in 1840s
• Pale malt, soft water, aromatic hops
• Became very popular - displaced ale yeast
• Popularity fueled by advances of Industrial Revolution
– Steam power, refrigeration, railroads, pasteurization and
filtration technology
• Strains are closely related - common origins
• Cool fermentation temperatures: 42 to 52 °F
• Beers are more delicate, clean, drinkable, and less
aromatic.
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Taxonomy
• Ale and Weiss yeasts - Saccharomyces cerevisiae
– Polyploid and probably aneuploid.
– Non-mating
– Sporulates poorly and poor spore viability
• Lager yeast - Saccharomyces pastorianus
–
–
–
–
S. cerevisiae
S. carlsbergensis
S. uvarum
Sporulates very poorly - poor spore viability

Distinguishing Characteristics
• Colony morphology
• Microscopic appearance
– Chain formation
• Fermentation characteristics
– Flocculation behavior / flavor compound profiles
• Growth at 37 °C
• Melibiase
• Electrophoretic karyotyping

Distinguishing Characteristics
• Difficult to distinguish between different lager yeasts
using conventional techniques
– Colony and cell morphologies similar
– Fermentation characteristics
• PCR - limited success
• Electrophoretic karyotyping
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Genome Structure - Lager Yeast
• Allopolyploid and probably aneuploid.
– Tetraploid
• Natural hybrid
– S. cerevisiae and S. bayanus
– S. cerevisiae and S. monacensis
• Contains two types of chromosomes
– S. cerevisiae type
– S. bayanus type
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Genome Structure
• Gene order and function highly conserved
– Single chromosome transfer experiments
• Gene length similar, but nucleotide divergence.
– Low levels of recombination between homeologues

The Brewing Process
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Ingredients
• Malted barley
• Cereal Adjunct
• Hops
• Water
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Malted Barley
• Two types of barley
– 2-rowed
– 6-rowed
• Provides fermentable sugars,
flavor, and color.
• Malting process:
– Steeping
– Germination
– Kilning
• Purpose:
– Activate enzyme systems
– Preserve for brewhouse
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Steeping
• Soak, aerate, drain.
• 2 days
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Germination
• Ventilated to remove CO2
• Repeated turning
• 4 to 5 days
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
Cereal Adjuncts
• Types of adjuncts commonly used:
– Corn grits
– Rice
– Corn syrups (high maltose and dextrose)
• Purpose:
– Additional source of fermentable sugars
– Lighter body
Kindly provided by Tom Pugh and David Ryder of Miller Brewing Company
• Spice of beer
Hops
– Provides aroma
and bitterness
• Flower (cone) of a
vine-growing plant
– Humulus lupulus
– Female triploid
• Used as:
– Whole cones
– Pellets
– Extracts

Balanced Growth
• Yeast growth affects beer flavor.
– Need balance between yeast growth and beer flavor.
• The brewer needs...
– Desired flavor profile in desired time.
– Sufficient yeast crop for subsequent fermentations.
• Oxygen is growth limiting nutrient.
– Control point
