Abstract:

Wine making and beer brewing are important industrial processes which can also be carried out on a smaller scale at home. Grapes are fermented into wine by the action of yeast which converts the sugar of the grapes into ethanol. When beer is brewed, the starch of a grain such as barley must first be converted into sugars before fermentation occurs. The tastes, aromas, and colors of various beers and wines come from compounds present in the grapes, grain, hops, and barrels, as well as metabolites produced during fermentation. Ron and Paul will describe the process and chemistry of wine and beer making, and will provide samples of the results
