Pecking Order in Chicks
Every commercial poultry farmer, hobby farmer or urban backyard farmer who keep a few chickens is aware that a pecking order exists in every flock, but how can...
Glycyrrhiza glabra Do not confuse the flavor of licorice with that of anise, which is not related and is quite different when tasted side by side. Licorice has been used for everything from cough remedies to ulcer cures. The root imparts a very characteristic flavor and is surprisingly sweet. It contains glycyrrhizin, a substance 50 times sweeter than sugar, and is often added to chocolate to enhance sweetness.
Licorice root is most often added to beers made with black, chocolate, or brown malts, and combined with other strong flavorings such as juniper berries and Mugwort. Licorice root is most often added during the wort boiling of darker style beers such as porters, stouts and dark ales. Whole pieces of Licorice root are often crushed or shredded before being added to the wort at the beginning of the boiling process. Dark, strong flavored beer usually call for one to two ounces (28-56 grams) of Licorice root per five gallon (3.8 Liters) batch of beer. In lighter beers, such as a pilsner, add about 1/2 ounce in the same size batch of beer. Keep in mind when adding licorice root to your brew that the shredded root will give you more of its flavor faster than whole or crushed pieces. |
