Activity in 13 subcommittees was conducted by the ASBC Technical Committee and Subcommittee chairs during 2007-2008. As a result, three methods are being recommended for inclusion in the Methods of Analysis (MOA): 1. Thiobarbituric Acid Index for Wort and Beer, chaired by Katie McGivney (New Belgium Brewing Company). 2. Differentiation of Brewing Yeast Strains by PCR Fingerprinting, chaired by Sylvie Van Zandycke (Lallemand Inc.). 3. Standard Method for Measuring Oxidative Resistance of Beer by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (PCR), chaired by David Barr (Bruker BioSpin Corp.). Additionally, a review of the Hops section of the MOA was led by Bob Foster (MillerCoors). The updated methods have been recommended for inclusion in the MOA. Three methods will continue for another year of collaborative study: 1. Can Packaging Methods, chaired by Scott Brendecke (Ball Corp.). 2. Sulfur Dioxide in Beer by Flow Injection Analysis (FIA), chaired by Aaron Porter (Sierra Nevada Brewing Company). 3. Accurate IBU Measurement of Dry-Hopped Beers, chaired by Ruth Martin (Sierra Nevada Brewing Company).
