Breakage

Last weekend I had my first bottle break due to fermentation. It was in the batch of pilsner, hopefully the beer isn't too sweet since I've had overly sweet beer not break bottles.

Lexicon

There's so many brewing specific terms that there are already words for, I guess it's either for history's sake or to jargon-ify it to make it seem harder. These are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head, there's probably more brew-specific terms for common things.

brew kettle - a big pot
coldbreak - cooling
condition - aging
grist - grain
hotbreak - boiling
kraeusen - foam
lauter tun - a big pot
mash - grain and water
mash tun - a big pot
pitch - adding yeast
priming - adding sugar to carbonate
rack - siphon
sparge - sprinkle hot water over grain
steep - soak
trub - dregs, junk on the bottom of a container
wort - pronounced wert, unfermented beer
