What are two ingredients currently used by US manufacturers of beer which are not allowed in a beer produced using the German Beer Purity Law?
Is this a quiz? The German Rheinheitsgebot only allows water, barley malt and hops in beer. The barley in the US has a higher protein level than European barleys, so adjuncts help. Most US brewers use corn or rice in addition to water, barley malt and hops.
What is 50 percent of beer made out of?
50% of beer is made of water...but, that's like saying 50% of people have a nose--so do the other 50%. Beer is made from grains, yeast, flavorants and water. Some beers have rice, some have wheat, some have barley. Some beers have hops added for flavor. German beers used to have to abide by the German Beer Purity law, Reinheitsgebot, which prohibited anything besides water, barley, hops and yeast (after Louis Pasteur identified it). The best guess one might come up with to answer your question would be "Barley". Mostly, barley is found in German and German-influenced beers.
