| For a change of subject... There seems to be a general opinion in Jewish communities that beer produced in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot is generically kosher due to the permitted ingredients all being kosher. Schlenkerla claims to be kosher and displays a kosher certificate from rabbi Tuvia Hod, head of kosher certification for the Orthodox Rabbinical Conference. That should be good enough. But ... looking at other breweries that do not sport a certificate - how sure can one be that their beers are kosher just because they are Reinheitsgebot compliant? Apart from the rules about ingredients there are two additional rules that must be followed: 1. The barley must not have been grown during the Jewish Passover (late March / early April) and the filters must be replaced before cleaning kosher mash. 2. Women who have their period or are pregnant must not come into contact with the production process. Does anyone on this forum have some further information about brewery practices in this respect? Kashrut (kosher-ness) does not concern me personally but I have friends who try to live by Jewish rules, and are rather suspicious about beer. |
