Basics of Home Brewing: What is a wine thief / beer thief?

admin — Sun, 20 May 2012 08:28:25 +0000

A thief (wine thief or beer thief) is a plastic device that has a gravity valve on one end and is used to pull samples out of a fermenter or carboy for hydrometer and taste tests. The device has a large enough diameter to allow a hydrometer to be dropped directly into the sample within the device. The gravity valve allows fluid to enter the vessel, but upon lifting from the batch, the weight of the liquid seals the valve until it is pressed again. If both a hydrometer and thief are sanitized prior to use, the sample pulled can be safely returned to the batch. The use of a thief greatly eases the taking of samples and tests and eliminates the need for additional testing cylinders. There are also glass thief devices that are able to pull samples by closing the open end with your finger after the sample has filled the device. These however do not allow a hydrometer to be dropped directly into them.

1952 Beer Promotion Film: “As We Like It”

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:27:19 +0000

This film is about beer. About how beer has helped to build America and Western civilization in general. About how beer is brewed to exacting standards of sanitation and quality. About how beer has great “food value.” About how heavy taxes are levied on beer, building highways and schools to benefit us all. And about how your friendly neighborhood tavern is a clean, well-run establishment where patrons can enjoy sparkling malt beverages. And how your friendly tavern operator supports charitable activities and always obeys the law. And about how all the friendly tavern operators need to watch their steps because there are elements in society who would like to blame sparkling malt beverages for all of society’s ills and bring about another Prohibition, which would deprive us of the right to engage in gracious living. So let’s all raise a toast to the brewing industry, without which we wouldn’t be able to enjoy all the benefits of sparkling malt beverages! This film may also be a bit of a propaganda piece for the beer industry. Production Company: Handy (Jam) Organization Sponsor: US Brewers Foundation
