Behind Every Sip: The Art of Oktoberfest Beer Filtration The art of filtration involves intricate techniques and specialized equipment. Beer passes through various filtering media, each designed to capture different-sized particles. From large strainers to micro-fine membranes, the process ensures that only the purest liquid emerges on the other side. Here’s why it’s essential: 1. Clarity and Brilliance: As beer ferments and matures, it naturally contains sediments and haze. Filtration removes these particles, resulting in a clear, sparkling beer that's visually enticing. 2. Flavor Enhancement: The removal of unwanted elements ensures that the true flavors of the beer shine through. 3. Consistency: Filtration guarantees consistency in every batch. 4. Prolonged Freshness: Filtered beer has a longer shelf life, maintaining its peak flavor for a more extended period. Raise your glass to the skilled craftsmanship that makes Oktoberfest truly remarkable! Prost! #OktoberfestBrewingSecrets #FilteredPerfection

Diagram: Grist Ratio 🥃   Nowadays, milling is often the first stage of the Scotch whisky production process that takes place at a distillery. Milling is simply the process of grinding dried malt through giant rollers, creating a coarse flour called grist. The grist is made up of three fractions: husk (20%), flour (10%) and grits (70%).

Hi Everyone, Someone asked me, is Macallsn 1926 just sold for 2.7 million is the same bottle sold last time for 2.5 million? In our research, the Macallan 1926 that sold for $2.7 million at auction in November 2023 is not the same bottle as the one that sold for $2.5 million in 2022. While they are both extremely rare and valuable bottles of whisky, they are from different casks. The Macallan 1926 that sold for $2.7 million is from cask number 12, while the one that sold for $2.5 million is from cask number 2. This difference in cask number is significant, as it can affect the flavor and value of the whisky. Experts say that the Macallan 1926 from cask number 12 has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than the one from cask number 2. This is likely due to the fact that the whisky in cask number 12 had more time to interact with the wood of the barrel, which can impart additional flavor compounds. As a result of its superior flavor profile, the Macallan 1926 from cask number 12 was able to fetch a higher price at auction. This is a testament to the fact that even among rare and valuable whiskies, there can be significant differences in value. Cheers!
