Adventures in Brewing • UC Davis Brewing - Past and Present • Research at Davis • Brewing in Golden - Herman Joseph’s Private Reserve
Silicon • Silicon occurs in beer primarily through the hydrolysis silicate Si(OH)4 Si(OH)3O- + H+ • Previous research states that silicon is primarily added in this way from malt and from the mineral content of water
Silicon and Bones • Si, in the form of soluble silicate, has been shown to increase the bone mineral density of men and pre-menopausal women • Due to silicon’s interaction with extracellular glycoprotein synthesis
Aluminum • Al can be absorbed from sources such as drinking water and deodorant • Average Al intake of 2-5 mg per day, but as much as 20 mg per day • Silicic acid has been shown to react with Al, probably by the formation of alumino-silicates, to reduce the levels of Al
Research Design • Commercial Beer • Malting Process • Raw Materials • Grain, hops, water, yeast • Process Aids • Silica gel, Diatomaceous Earth • Brewing Process
Process Aids • Diatomacious Earth - No silicon pick-up • Silica Gel - No silicon pick-up
Mashing/Lautering • 4 tests - Same malt, 65ºC conversion temperature • 60 min mash in mash tun, gentle lautering • 45 min mash, transferred to lauter tun, gentle lautering • Two 100 min mashes, transferred to lauter tun • One gentle, one “vigorous”

Established to create specialty beers for discriminating beer drinkers Specializing in small batch brewing Uniquely located at 39º 45' 36" N by 105º 12' 51" W Brewed at an altitude of 5,707 feet above sea level Small, 30-barrel Huppmann copper kettles, imported from Germany in 1973. Brewed by brewers, not computers
Herman Joseph’s Private Reserve is a German-style lager brewed by AC Golden Brewing Company and sold only in Colorado. Born of German heritage dating back to 1868, Herman Joseph’s recipe combines the finest European and North American hops with our prized Moravian two-row barley. Each small, 30-barrel brew begins with a slow and easy 120-minute boil. Select ingredients are added at the precise moment to build its taste complexities. Each brew is then chilled to 1º Celsius and allowed to rest for weeks on end. This Chill-lagering develops each HJ Private Reserve brew into a perfectly balanced, deep golden lager that is appreciated for its distinctive qualities and unmistakable crisp, clean finish. Every bottle bears its distinct brew number and each case is hand packed and sealed, assuring you that the Herman Joseph’s Private Reserve inside meets our uncompromising standards. Because of the extra time required to brew, age and package this rare beer, it take us longer to craft Herman Joseph’s Private Reserve – we believe you will agree……..it’s worth the wait.
