  • Factors that Influence the Sensory Characteristics of Dry-hopped Beer

    Creator:
    Vollmer, Daniel M.
    Abstract:
    When hops are added to beer, varying degrees of hoppy aroma persist in the finished beer as a result of a number of factors. Dry-hopping is a technique whereby hops are added to beer post-fermentation to leverage the maximum aroma potential of the hop essential oils while minimizing bitterness contribution...

  • The potential role of aliphatic gamma- and delta-lactones in beer fruit aroma

    Creator:
    Hotchko, Rachel Ann
    Abstract:
    This work set out to examine the potential contribution of five aliphatic lactones, γ-nonalactone, γ-decalactone, γ-dodecalactone, δ-decalactone and δ-dodecalactone to stone fruit aroma in beer. This work consists of three related studies; lactone olfaction thresholds, additive/synergistic aroma effects and a gas-chromatography-mass-spectrophometry method of analysis. First was the determination of these...

  • Factors that Influence the Aroma and Monoterpene Alcohol Profile of Hopped Beer

    Creator:
    Sharp, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    Hop aroma in beer is related to the unique compositional chemistry of the hops used in the brewing process. While the range of these compositions is quite diverse and primarily dependent on hop cultivar¹, other studies have also shown that cultivation, seasonality, harvesting², processing³⁴, and storage practices⁵⁶ contribute to differences...

  • A study of factors affecting the extraction of flavor when dry hopping beer

    Creator:
    Wolfe, Peter Harold
    Abstract:
    This work set out to examine the methodologies of dry hopping, compare different hop materials, and look at the extraction behavior of different types of hop compounds. This work consists of two discrete studies, where the first study informed the design of the second. The first study measured the concentrations...

  • The influence of polyphenols and humulinones on bitterness in dry-hopped beer

    Creator:
    Parkin, Ellen Jane
    Abstract:
    This research sought to determine the origin of bitterness as a result of dry-hopping. An unhopped ale was dry-hopped and examined in the controlled dry-hop experiment and commercial beers were examined for chemical changes from dry-hopping in the commercially dry-hopped beer survey. This thesis work suggested specific bitter hop components...
