Please agree to the terms and conditions under "Consent form publication BRAUWELT", see Download section below.

Overall text length:
The manuscript should not exceed 12,000 characters (including spaces). It is now generally recognized that overly long articles deter readers.

Manuscript checklist:

• Headline: Keep it short and simple.
• Author box: Please give full name(s) (incl. academic title) and address of the organisation/company (unless told otherwise, we will refer to your current employer in the author box). The same applies to co-authors. We will also need a high-res photo of the author (a maximum of two photos for several authors).
• Key words: For the online archive please also provide about six key words on the topics covered in your article.
• Introductory text: Please start your article with a short introduction (about 300 characters incl. spaces).
• Subheadings: No sub-headings immediately after the introductory text. Please keep the subheadings in the main article as short as possible.
• Article body: About 12,000 characters (incl. spaces). Please refrain from using personal pronouns in the text (i.e. I, we, us). Abbreviations should be avoided or explained. The article needs a clear structure (three heading levels max.), but please do not number the headings. Likewise, the text should not contain any reference to numbered headings.
• Conclusion: Please add a final paragraph at the end of the text which briefly summarizes the subject of the article.
• Illustrations: About four illustrations are appropriate; please number the figures and tables and refer to them in the corresponding text passages as “fig. 1”, “fig. 2”/”table 1”, “table 2” etc. Please name the captions according to the following convention: “Fig. 1  Brewhouse”.
• Tables: Please avoid mere piles of numbers; the main text should give references to all tables used (e.g. “see table 1”). All tables need a clear and descriptive heading.
• Bibliography: Please set all your bibliographic references within the text in square brackets (e.g. [1]) and number them consecutively in order of appearance. Then put a list with full bibliographic information at the end of the manuscript (see "Bibliography – Examples").
• Other: Currency unit Euro always as EUR. No abbreviations for million and billion. No separation signs in thousands (e.g. 10000, not 10,000).
