FAQ
Brewery Questions
| What's the difference between Ales & Lagers? | |
| It's all about the yeast. Ale yeast consumes sugar at warmer temperatures beginning at the top of the vessel and in rapid fashion. Lager, the opposite, colder temps at a slower pace and works it's way from the bottom up. | |
| Are Lagers darker and heavier than Ales? | |
| Lagers can range from light to dark, from high in alcohol to low and from bitter to sweet while Ales can run the same spectrum. | |
| How long from the time you make it for it to be ready to drink? | |
| Ales can be ready to drink in as little as 2 weeks time, whereas Lagers take 4 - 6 weeks or longer. | |
| What does IBU & ABV stand for? | |
| IBU stands for International Bitterness Units, a guide which measures the bitterness from hops in a beer on a scale of 0 to 100... the higher the number, the more bitter the beer. ABV means Alcohol By Volume, which simply lets you know what percentage of your beer is alcohol. | |
