Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for automatically brewing beer in a three-vessel system. The system comprises valves, flow-rate restrictors, pumps, various heating elements, a hot liquor tank, a mash tun, a boil kettle, a fermenter, and other elements for dispensing and collecting liquid, chiller plates, etc. All these elements are electrically inter-connected to each other and can be remotely operated. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that there are various ways in which said elements can be electrically inter-connected and operated. In at least one embodiment, a system is shown in which beer is automatically brewed from the step in which heated water from the hot liquor tank is mixed with grains in the mash tun, to where the mixture of boiled, hopped, then cooled beer wort is transferred from the boil kettle to the fermenter.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for synthesizing terpenoid compounds, as well as compositions comprising terpenoids and methods for their use. In one aspect the process is represented by the scheme wherein G is X is and R1, R2 and R3 independently are selected from H, acyl, lower alkyl and aralkyl; and Y is —O—, —S— or —NH—, and R4 is selected from H, acyl, lower alkyl and aralkyl.
