TavastlandBrewing Standard Reference Method The Standard Reference Method or SRM [1] is one of several systems modern brewers use to specify beer color. Determination of the SRM value involves measuring the attenuation of light of a particular wavelength (430 nm) in passing through 1 cm of the beer, expressing the attenuation as an absorption and scaling the absorption by a constant (12.7 for SRM; 25 for EBC). The SRM (or EBC) number represents a single point in the absorption spectrum of beer. Measurement Method[edit] The ASBC and EBC measurements are now identical (both done at the same wavelength and in the same size cuvette) but the scaling is different. The SRM number was originally, and still is, defined by "Beer color intensity on a sample free of turbidity and having the spectral characteristics of an average beer is 10 times the absorbance of the beer measured in a 1/2 inch cell with monochromatic light at 430 nanometers where is the dilution factor ( for undiluted samples, for 1:1 dilution etc.) and EBC[edit] where the

Lisa Morrison) I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Lisa this year through different beer events, and she was kind enough to sit down and chat with me about all things beer… Where are you from and how did you get “hooked” on craft beer? Lisa Morrison: I was born and lived in Tulsa Oklahoma until I was 15. We moved to Colorado when I was in high school and I graduated from Colorado State University. I fell in love with the Pacific NW when I was a teen and decided someday I was going to live there. I moved here in 1989. I always loved good beer; I just didn't know what good beer was until I was in college. How did you get the idea to start a radio show about beer? LM: About five years ago, Bruce Bjorkman, who does the "Cooking Outdoors with Mr. After a while, KXL decided to pull the plug on the show. So I renamed the show Beer O'Clock, changed the focus to good beer, and nearly three years ago, the show made its debut. LM: I didn't find any real challenges getting into the industry. LM: Oh, sure.

Brewer's Best Beer Ingredient Kits and Supplies Homebrew Water Filter - HomeBrewing.com Assemble a carbon filter for first-level home water treatments The subject of water is a voluminous topic within the home brewing world and so important that a new book, Water: A Comprehensive Guide for Brewers, is being written on the topic by well known homebrewers John Palmer and Colin Kaminski. For beginner brewers, water is often the last explored component of the home brewing process due to its seemly unlimited supply and, in most cases, is already treated by a city municipality. Grain, hops and yeast usually get all the attention, but take a closer look at what is really coming out of those pipes. As home brewers we strive for perfection in our brews. Mineral content, particulate matter, PH, hardness, alkalinity levels, salts, chlorine, microbes and temperature levels. Most public drinking water undergoes a fascinating journey through a maze of treatments and pipes before it’s pushed out to homes in the surrounding area. Chlorine, chloramines and pollutants have also got to go. 1.

The Best Way to Learn JavaScript Learning something new is scary. For me, the biggest issue with picking up a new skill is that I don’t know what I don’t know. Given that, it’s often useful to find a plan for learning whatever you’re interested in. That’s what this post is: your blueprint, your roadmap, your plan of action for learning JavaScript! JavaScript is the language of the browser. Before you actually begin learning JavaScript, take a minute to understand what it is and does. JavaScript is not jQuery, Flash, or Java. JavaScript is the language of the browser (not exclusively these days, though). One more note: you’ve heard about jQuery, which is probably the most widely-used JavaScript library. You might even have heard someone say that you should start with jQuery (or another library) and learn JavaScript after. Codecademy is a relatively new website that bills itself as “the easiest way to learn how to code.” The folks at appendTo have a fantastic set of screencasts geared specifically for beginners.
