Yes. Malt is sprouted barley.
The difference between a standard malt and a deluxe malt is that standard whiskey is pure alcohol. Deluxe whisky is a blended whisky that is 20 percent whiskey and 80 percent natural grain spirits.
Barley malt extract itself does not contain alcohol. It is a concentrated syrup made from malted barley, primarily used as a sweetener and flavoring agent in food products. However, during the fermentation process, which can occur if yeast is introduced, alcohol can be produced from the sugars in the malt extract. But in its typical form, barley malt extract is non-alcoholic.
Yes, alcohol is a depressant.
Water, alcohol, malted barley, yeast.
NO
Malt vinegar does not contain alcohol. It is made from malted barley and water that undergoes fermentation to produce acetic acid, which gives vinegar its sour taste. Any alcohol present during the fermentation process is converted to acetic acid.
No. Its actually a malt. But they just call it non alcoholic beer for marketing.
Malt vinegar is made through a fermentation process that involves converting malted barley into alcohol and then into vinegar. The process includes malting barley, mashing it to extract sugars, fermenting the sugars into alcohol with yeast, and finally fermenting the alcohol into vinegar with acetic acid bacteria. The vinegar is then aged to develop its flavor before being bottled and sold.
yes
Usually between 40% - 45%, although it gets higher.
Of course it isn't! Beer is water, yeast, malt and hops. A better definition would be yeast pee, as the alcohol is what is evacuated by the yeast after eating the sugar in the malt.
No, the colour of beer does not have much to do with the alcohol level. Beer is made by mashing different kinds of malt. Some malts (such as Chocolate malt and Black malt) add a dark colour, others such as Pale malt are much lighter in colour. When malt is mashed by adding to water at particular temperatures, the starches in the malt get converted by enzymes into different types of sugar (eg. maltose). Depending on the kind of malt and the mash temperature some sugars are fermentable and others are not. The fermentable ones get eaten by the yeast and turned into alcohol. The non-fermentable ones stay in the beer to add body, colour and taste. So, logically any sugars that are there for colour are left in the final beer as sugars and not converted into alcohol. The colour is also affected by how long the wort is boiled. The longer it is boiled the darker it will become, but this is not very significant compared to adding a small amount of chocolate or crystal malt, and really only an issue if you are trying to make a pale coloured beer. A traditional dark English mild is only around 3.5% abv, wheras a typical pale coloured lager is around 5%. However you can have a strong dark beer (eg. a Belgium Dubbel such as Rochefort 8) Dark beers generally have more flavour, but are not stronger in alcohol.
