Coffee beans originated in Ethiopia, and arabica beans are the main species, which now are grown throughout the "coffee belt", an area between the latitudes of 25 degrees North and 30 degrees South. Seventy-five percent of the world's coffee bean production is arabica. Most of the other coffee beans are robusta beans, or "Congo coffee" beans, which are more robust.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [FONT=verdana][SIZE=3][I][/I][/SIZE][/FONT] [I][FONT=verdana][SIZE=3]There are different legends as to how and when the drink was first brewed. One story claims that a 6th century goatherd from [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kaffa']Kaffa[/URL] named Kaldi saw that his goats were more lively after eating coffee beans. A monk named Mullah apparently noticed this and brewed the beverage and spread word of it around the region. Another story from the 15th century claims that a 9th century mufti—a Muslim legal expert—of Aden was the first to make the drink, and it became popular in Middle Eastern courts afterwards.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I] [B][FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][SIZE=7]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [URL="https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2022/09/which-acc-basketball-coaches-will-be-on-the-hot-seat-this-season-mikes-mailbox.html"]Which ACC basketball coaches will be on the hot seat?

How Central NY brewers are coping with nationwide supply chain issues[/URL] (PS; Cazentre)[/B] [I]In early August, the [URL='https://senecastreetbrewpub.com/']Seneca Street Brew Pub[/URL] in Manlius shut down all the taps in its downstairs tasting room. The reason: A shortage of carbon dioxide, which is necessary to give beer its fizz and push it through the tap lines. Although the pub at 315 E. Seneca St. now has enough supply to reopen all its taps, co-owner Heidi Menikheim is still concerned. “I’m in constant fear of running out again,” she said. Even worse, she said, a lack of carbon dioxide could impact beer production at Seneca Street and at[URL='https://www.syracuse.com/drinks/2017/12/in_canastota_erie_canal_brewing_opens_its_taps_to_the_public.html'] Erie Canal Brewing [/URL]in Canastota. That’s a larger craft brewery, also run by the Menikheim family. “If we can’t brew beer, then we’re really in trouble,” she said. Throughout the summer and into the fall, headlines across the country have had a dire warning: [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2022/09/24/beer-shortage-inflation-supply-chain-issues-brewers/10433769002/']There’s a potential beer shortage looming.[/URL] Rising prices and supply chain issues are often cited, but the difficulty in finding carbon dioxide (CO2) has been one of the biggest areas of concern. CO2 is used not just to carbonate beer — who wants flat beer? — but also to push beer through lines and tanks and to clear oxygen, which can damage beer, out of the lines, tanks, kegs and more. “It’s real,” said Paul Leone, executive director of the [URL='https://newyorkcraftbeer.com/']New York State Brewers Association[/URL], which represents hundreds of New York craft brewers. “It’s not especially critical at this point, but it’s something we’ve got our eyes on.” The issue is a particular concern for small brewers. Some brewers, especially larger ones, are more likely to be able to set up systems that [URL='https://beerandbrewing.com/recapturing-co2-its-a-gas/']capture carbon dioxide [/URL]produced during the brewing process so they can reuse it. And suppliers are typically going supply their bigger customers first, said[URL='https://whitman.syr.edu/directory/showInfo.aspx?nid=pcpenfie'] Patrick Penfield, professor of supply chain practice[/URL] at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management. “The bigger customers, who spend more money, are always going to be at the head of the line,” Penfield said. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
