Explanation
The German Purity Law, also known as "Reinheitsgebot," dictates that only water, malted barley, and hops are allowed as ingredients in beer production. This law, established in 1516, aimed to regulate and maintain the quality of beer by prohibiting the use of other additives or ingredients. By limiting the ingredients to these three, the law ensures that beer is made with natural and traditional components, preserving its purity and authenticity.

When a beer is "dry hopped", the hops are added ____________ the boil, and only enhance the aroma of the beer.

Correct Answer(s)
after

Explanation
When a beer is "dry hopped", it means that the hops are added after the boil. This technique is used to enhance the aroma of the beer without adding any additional bitterness. By adding the hops after the boil, the volatile compounds responsible for the hop aroma are preserved, resulting in a more aromatic beer.

Hefeweizens are _________- fermented.

Correct Answer(s)
top

Explanation
Hefeweizens are top-fermented. This means that during the fermentation process, the yeast rises to the top of the fermentation vessel. This type of fermentation typically occurs at warmer temperatures and produces a fruity and spicy flavor profile. Hefeweizens, a traditional German wheat beer, are known for their cloudy appearance and distinctive banana and clove aromas, which are a result of the top-fermentation process.
