Dutch term

eindvergist

Dutch to English Other Food & Drink
Ik ben beschrijvingen van Belgische bieren aan het vertalen en ben de term 'eindvergist' nu al een paar keer tegengekomen. Ik denk dat eindvergisten vertaald kan worden als 'attentuation' (http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/homebrew_terms.html) maar ben niet helemaal zeker. Ik twijfel ook hoe dat dan zou werken in een zin als de volgende: Een eindvergist, mild-bitter pilsener, een lichte hoparoma met een spontaan karakter. Suggesties zeer welkom!

Edith, I know it's not the proper brewing term :) Just thought that sentence sounds more like a tasting review or a description on a beer label, so I thought that might suit, but I wouldn't insist. "Deeply fermented" usually means fermented close to completion if not to full completion and is often used in beer descriptions.
I checked the noun "attenuation" in this context and that must be "eindvergisting", so you're right on that.
Edith Kelly Mar 19, 2012:
final versus arrested eindvergist means that fermentation has gone to completion (that's the technical term) though the noun is final attenuation. You can have real and apparent final attenuation. Also you can have arrested fermentation, in that case fermentional did not go to completion, so no final attenuation but attenuation to the tune of xxx. I hope that helps.
Edith Kelly Mar 19, 2012:
kamilw this is simply not brewing terminology. You cannot ferment well, fermentation continues until finished i.e. completed. If you prove me wrong, I will concede
kamilw Mar 19, 2012:
How about deeply fermented or well fermented?

And more than 6000 ghits.

Phil this is Guinness terminology, I cannot put my hands on something written but I have been trained on the subject

Yep, final attenuation is a noun. There is no adjective for this, the adjective is: fermented to completion.

Thanks very much for the input Edith, very helpful!
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : Can you explain what this means? You say the answer is "final attenuation", but your suggested translation is different.//Neutral means I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing, just asking you to explain.

Yep, final attenuation is a noun. There is no adjective for this, the adjective is: fermented to completion. And why a neutral if you are not really familiar with brewing and beers, post a discussion entry and I will answer.
