Gushing – a multicausal problem!
Beers from the 2007 barley harvest were again severely affected by gushing. This phenomenon gives rise to complaints and loss of image for breweries; quality of beer as such is not affected. In 2008, brewers are again beset by gushing problems and the justified question for the scientific community is: “When will the causes of gushing finally be completely understood?” Brewers who had problems in the past with beers “gone wild” have been hoping to get an answer for years.
