Troubleshooting Milk Flavor Problems

Classification of Off-flavors

Off-flavors commonly found in milk can be classified in three basic categories – the ABC’s of off-flavor development.

Absorbed – feedy, barny, cowy, unclean, weedy, and musty.

Bacterial – acid, malty, unclean, fruity, and putrid.

Chemical – cowy (ketosis), rancid, oxidized, sunlight, and medicinal.

Absorbed flavor defects can develop before, during and after milking. It can occur when milk is left uncovered in the consumer’s refrigerator or kept in cold rooms and dairy cases with other odor-producing foods.

Beer XML

Recipe name Brewer Brewing method (All grain, Partial Mash, Extract ) Recipe Type (Ale, Lager, Hybrid, etc.) Recipe volume (Run length) Boil volume (Wort size) Boil time (duration) Recipe efficiency Estimated values OG (Original Gravity) FG (Final Gravity) Color (SRM) Bitterness (IBU) Alcohol content (%abv)

BeerXML is a free, fully defined XML data description[3] standard designed for the exchange of beer brewing recipes[4] and other brewing data. Tables of recipes as well as other records such as hop schedules and malt bills can be represented using BeerXML for use by brewing software.

BeerXML is an open standard and as a subset of Extensible Markup Language (XML) BeerXML is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable
