7. In the Spirit Answers

16. How many important steps are there in the beer-making process?
C. Six
QQ: Beer is made from grains, hops, water and yeast used in different combinations. The beer-making process is a complex process, a unique mix of art and science. The distinctiveness in a style of beer is produced through the use of selected malts, hops, yeasts, water and production methods. Many variables affect the character of beer during the brewing process. Some of these variables are the choice of grains, malting methods, character of water, climatic conditions, adjunct grains and fermentation temperatures. The beer-making process consists of six key steps: Brewing, Fermentation, Storage, Filtration, Pasteurization and Packaging. The brewer creates a harmonious mix by balancing ingredients and processes.

17. Where did the expression “mind your P’s and Q’s” come from?
A. English pubs
QQ: In English pubs drinks are served in pints and quarts. In old England, bartenders would advise unruly customers to mind their own pints and quarts. It's the origin of "mind your P's and Q's."

18. What has always been the site for the traditional Oktoberfest celebration?
A. Therese's Meadow
QQ: The wedding took place at what came to be called the Theresienwiese
(Therese's Meadow), and this remains the site for the Oktoberfest.

19. Frederick the Great of Prussia tried to ban the consumption of what?
A. Coffee
QQ: Frederick the Great of Prussia tried to ban the consumption of coffee and demanded that the populace drink alcohol instead.

20. Which U.S. state was the first to repeal prohibition?
C. Montana
QQ: Opposition to the enforcement of Prohibition increased as people became disillusioned with the Noble Experiment. Montana became the first state to repeal its enforcement of Prohibition, doing so in 1926 (Prohibition lasted from 1920 through 1933).

-=- Birthday Trivia Answers -=-

1. Who invented paper?
A. Chinese Tsai, Lun
QQ: Tsai, Lun, is the inventor of paper. He lived and served as an official at the Chinese Imperial Court at the Han Dynasty in China at about 1800 years ago. In or about the year 105 A.D., he presented Emperor Han Ho Ti with samples of paper. Chinese records do mention and credit Tsai, Lun with the invention of paper. His name is well known in China. Tsai, Lun was a eunuch. Because he was an officer, he had the access to lots of resources, including money and human resources, for papermaking research. He was promoted by the Emperor for his invention and became wealthy. Later he got involved in palace intrigue, which led to his downfall. Finally he ended his life drinking poison. Happy birthday to graphic artist Brian Shively who celebrated Oct. 17th!

2. What were books made of before paper?
E. B, C or D
QQ: In China, before Tsai, Lun, books were made of bamboo, which were heavy and clumsy. Some books were made of silks, which were very expensive. In the West at that time, books were made of sheepskin or calfskin. Tsai, Lun improved the technology of making paper from sesame fiber. He used recycleable meterials such as bamboo, tree skin and shabby cloth to make paper. The technique of papermaking was kept as a secret for five centuries in China. Happy birthday to retired teacher Beverly who celebrated Oct. 18th!

3. Who taught Europeans the art of papermaking in the 12th century?
C. Arabs
QQ: In 751, some Chinese papermakers were captured by Arabs, and later paper was produced in the Middle East. The arts of papermaking gradually spread and in the twelfth century the Europeans learned the arts from the Arabs. Paper became the most common writing material in the West. Happy birthday to Keisha who loves to read and celebrates her birthday today!
