Beer myths busted

Myth :Beer is best served chilled as possible.

Fact: You loose aromatics when you serve chilled beer. Beer is best consumed between 46′ and 50′ F. Typically it is dispensed from the draft line which is between 38 and 42′. So just cup the glass for a couple of minutes with your hands and it will warm to the right temperature. Then you will actually taste beer.

Myth :Bottled beer is better than canned beer.

Fact: Nothing maintains freshness as a can. Bottles are not perfect. With time, oxygen coming under the cap will make your beer taste like cardboard and light coming in through the glass will make it slinky.

Myth: Draft beer is better than bottled beer.

Fact: It depends on the bar. With properly maintained draft lines, beer from the tap is the freshest you can get. But not all bars keep their lines maintained, which can leave your beer polluted with microbes.If you don’t trust the bar,order a bottle or can. Better than having an orgy of beer loving bacteria.

Myth:Dark beers have more alcohol than light beers.

Fact:No correlation

Myth:Wine is the healthiest. Fact:Wine is likely no healthier than beer.

Myth:Beer causes a belly to grow. Fact:Moderate consumption poses no serious threat.

Beer is one of the oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drinks in the world. It is also the third most popular drink overall after water and tea.

Draught beer, or draft beer is beer served from a cask or keg rather than from a bottle.

It does not give you a hangover, headache or any sickness unless you drank too much of it. It keeps your heart healthy.

History

Before the invention of the beer engine in 1785, beer was transported and served directly from the barrel. In the early 20th century, draft beer started to be served from pressurised containers. Keg beer is often filtered or pasteurised, both of which processes that render the yeast inactive.

It is brewed from cereal grains – most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize, and rice are also used. Most modern beer is brewed with hops which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilising agent.

Malt is grain that has been converted into sugar. That sugar is consumed by yeast to create alcohol, a process called fermentation. Grain becomes malt, which becomes beer.

American malts :

Pale malt, wheat, Rye, Vienna, Munich, Caramel 10 & 40, Carapils.

Base malts

They make up the majority of the grist in all -grain beer and the variety is amazing.

Cask beer should be stored and served at a cellar temperature of 12′ C (54’F) Once a cask is opened, it should be consumed within three days. Keg beer is given additional cooling just prior to being served either by flash coolers or a remote cooler in the cellar. This chills the beer down to temperatures between 3 and 8’C.

The words draft and draught have been used as marketing terms to describe canned or bottled beers, implying that they taste and appear like beers from a cask or keg.

Parenting or child rearing, the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. It plays the most vital part because raising a child and giving what is necessary and important is not something easy.

Raising a child is one of the most critical and challenging jobs a parent can have and also one of the most rewarding.

Good parenting helps foster empathy, honesty, self control, kindness, self reliance, cooperation and cheerfulness. It also helps protect children from developing anxiety, eating disorders, depression, antisocial behaviour and drug or alcohol abuse.

What you do makes a difference. Don’t just react on the spur of the moment. Ask yourself. What do I want to achieve and is this likely to produce that result?

You cannot simply spoil the child with love. Its not actually love which spoils but the consequence of giving a child things in place of love. Things like lowered expectations, leniency or material possessions.

Be involved in your child’s life. It frequently means sacrificing what you want to do for what your child needs to do. You have to be there physically as well as mentally.

Manage your child’s behaviour when he is young, he will have a hard time learning how to manage himself when he is older and you are not around. You should always be able to answer three questions : Where is my child? Who is with my child? What is my child doing? The rules your child has learned from you are going to shape the rules he applies to himself. But you can’t micromanage your child till his entire life.

Electric Car Technology

Manage your EV performance with your smartphone

Mobile EV Tune-up Technology

MEVIT is like a system that provides versatile control over a set range of EV functions and features via digital device, like a smartphone. Key control aspects in vehicle performance include max motor torque, (perceived) launch acceleration, (perceived) deceleration, regenerative braking quantity, HVAC energy, max speed capacity and responsiveness.

If the vehicle supports telematic communication like Bluelink or UVO, the smartphone communication with the telematics server to save user settings, which is then communicated to the vehicles telematics unit and implemented. If telematics communication is not available, the smartphone connects directly to the vehicle via Bluetooth communication to apply custom settings. In that case, user settings are communicated by the smartphone to the server and saved.

Automobiles are evolving from simple mechanical devices to smart devices. Once MEVTT enters mass production in that climate, it will be much more than a convenience option and help the EV industry flourish.

A Fuel cell vehicle or fuel cell electric vehicle is a type of EV which uses a Fuel cell, instead of a battery, or in combination with a battery or super capacitor, to power it’s onboard electric motor.

FCEV’s are more than just ecofriendly.

The Nexo’s single charge mileage of up to 609 km is a range greater than even the internal combustion engine vehicles. This is outstanding in comparison to EV’s which are also categorised as eco friendly, as charge times are relatively short. The NEXO’s hydrogen tanks are filled in about 5 minutes. Power performance is also outstanding. The NEXO accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 9.2 seconds.

They are economical. The operating cost is significantly better than the combustion engine. As the market matures, hydrogen supply will increase, and prices will fall, and the economic efficiency of the FCEVs will continue to rise.

Future of Self Driving

Cars are becoming smarter , they sense danger and driver’s stress level. The term is called Autonomous cars. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles.

There are six levels of vehicle from 0-5. A level 5 vehicle means it does not require the driver’s attention. The vehicle will be free from GPS or navigation systems, able to go anywhere and do anything that a driver can do. Fully Autonomous cars are being tested in several places, but none are yet available to the public.
