Ode to Gilroy

‘Karoshi’ is a plaque sweeping China
It means, ‘Occupational Sudden Death’
Six hundred thousand Chinks died last year
Because they work ‘till their very last breath!

In China the populace live to work
They toil hard for a little reward
In South Africa anyone blessed with a job
Causes shit or just sits around bored.

The Chinese economy’s slowing down
So ‘Karoshi’ is a popular trend
It is simply because, the stuff that they sell
Quickly fails and then no-one can mend.

So, are we at risk of a similar plague?
No, ‘Karoshi’ just won’t happen here
‘Cos all of the really hard-working people
Come to Gilroy’s to chill and drink beer!

Yeast

So, just to recap on the last few articles, we have crushed the barley for the mash, created a wort and pitched the hops into the boil. After one and a half to two hours boiling we are ready to cool the wort and pitch the magic ingredient – the yeast.

What is Beer?

It is amazing, when considering the volume of beer consumed in South Africa, that so few of us know what beer is. There is no beer culture; everyone knows that wine is merely fermented fruit juice - but, "What is Beer?"

South African Beer C…

Today we are officially starting the South African Beer Culture and every day hence is Beer Culture day! We have to move with great determination because globally we’ve been left behind. First of all, what is a Beer Culture? It is a constant celebration of life and bringing back the tradition and the magic of beer in all its glorious styles.

Old World Beer – How…

If you read my last articles you now know that beer is brewed from grain, predominantly barley, and that fresh water is in fact very old. In the brewhouse we mix the two together to create what brewers call the ‘mash’.

Hello Little Weed

Hello again, thank you for joining me on the miraculous journey from grain to glass. So far we have crushed the grain, prepared the water, mashed the grist and, after working with nature for about two hours, produced a sweet wort. A soft sweet nectar of different barley malt sugars. When we add the hops this becomes a bitter wort.

Yeastie magic beasti…

We finish the journey from grain to glass. Our Yeastie magic beastie has completed its work and has, through fermentation, created alcohol and carbon dioxide, but how much? The alcohol content is proportional to the amount of malted grain, or the fermentable sugars created in the mash. When the yeast has used up all the available sugars fermentation virtually stops and the level of alcohol remains constant. But, what about the CO2 – the gas?
