Lager and Pilsner Beer

April 11, 2010 · Posted in education, Event, General living, Personal, Uncategorized · Comment 

What is the difference between lager and pilsner beer? Well, lager beer is produced by slow bottom fermentation and aged under refrigerated for several months. In Germany lagern means ” to store ” ” or storehouse. Pilsner beer is a light lager beer with a strong flavor of hops. It originated in Pilsen (Plzen), a city in Czech Republic, in 1877. Being a delicate golden lager, it was a dynamic departure from the dark, sweet beers that were common at the time. Pilsner beer gets its flavor from pale, malts, soft water, German or Czech hops, and lager yeast. These pale malts are dried up for shorter of period of time and at lower temperature than dark malt. The result is a beer with a golden color. Pilsner is the most widely copied beer and is the world popular beer. All beers can define as either lager or ale. The difference is in brewing. Whether a beer is larger or ale depends on the yeast used and the temperature of the fermentation process. Larger ferments more slowly and at colder temperature than ale. Because the yeast settles to the bottom of the tank, it is called bottom-fermented beer. Ale tends to ferment rapidly and is referred to as top fermented. Ale tends to have higher alcohol content and to be heartier and darker than lager. Malt liquid is a beer that has too high an alcohol content by law to be labeled lager or ale. Malt liquor is 5 to 6 percent alcohol, while ale is 4 to 5 percent alcohol and lager is 3.5 percent alcohol. When most of the alcohol is removed from ale, it is called “ near beer” and has an alcohol content of one half of a percent.

Valentine was a priest in Rome and He was apprehended, and to be beheaded, on February 14, about the year 270. Saint Valentine he’s remains still a mystery. One opinion is that he was a Roman martyred refusing to give up his Christian faith. Other historians said, that Saint Valentine was a temple priest, jailed for defiance during the reign of Claudius. Valentine really existed because archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine. Pope Gelasius 1 first established the feast of Saint Valentine in 496. The greatest parts of his relics are now in the church of St. Praxedes. His name is celebrated as a martyr. Some say that Saints are not supposed to rest in peace; they’re expected to keep busy: to perform miracles, to intercede. One legend says, while awaiting his execution, Valentines restored the sight of his jailer’s blind daughter. Another legend says, before he’s execution he penned a farewell note to the jailer’s daughter, signing it, “From your Valentine.” He is the Patron Saint represented in pictures with birds and roses.

What makes us yawn? Yawning is cause of boredom and other theorize it that we need to stretch our neck muscles. Many researcher belief and agree yawning is simply way of our body to compensate for less oxygen in our blood stream.

Every cell in our body needs continual supply of oxygen. When you breathe you take the air to supply into our lungs and pass through to the blood so that the oxygen can carry throughout our body. Normally when we exhale, we get rid the waste carbon dioxide. If you can recall when you are bored or just sitting around, you tend to breath slowly than normal because our body doesn’t get all the oxygen we needs. Sometimes we are not getting rid of the carbon dioxide in our body. Our brain senses this and extra breath is called yarn. We always open our mouth when we yarn because you can breath much more air through our mouth than through to our nose. The air isn’t clean because its not filtered through the nose. A yarn is design to take in a lot of air quick, clean or not. Also animals do yarn, for the same reason we do. If you want to avoid yawning you should take a deep breath whenever you feel to yarn. If you like the oxygen you take can easily flow through your body sit comfortably or chew a gum to stimulate your mouth muscles to prevent from yawning.
