NOTE: The 'skeletal' descendent tree pasted below (the first 8 or 9 generations) was posted from Pfeiffer genealogy generated by a 1930-40's secretary of Gustavus1872 'Uncle Gus' Pfeiffer, son of Henry1830 of Iowa. The tree takes this specific Pfeiffer line up to the time of the immigration to America of Henry1830 Pfeiffer and a couple of his brothers in the early 1850's. The tree was written in German plus in a form difficult to follow, thus is a best guess at the time of posted the material. No connection to this tree could be found on Ancestry or related sites, as of the time last working on the material, bz/Sept2018. The Henry1830 family tree is posted following Uncle Gus's tree. bz/2018

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing

Brewing is the production of beer by steeping a starch source (commonly cereal grains, the most popular of which is barley) in water and fermenting the resulting sweet liquid with yeast. It may be done in a brewery by a commercial brewer, at home by a homebrewer, or by a variety of traditional methods such as communally by the indigenous peoples in Brazil when making cauim. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that emerging civilizations including ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia brewed beer. Since the nineteenth century the brewing industry has been part of most western economies.

The basic ingredients of beer are water and a fermentable starch source such as malted barley. Most beer is fermented with a brewer's yeast and flavoured with hops.Less widely used starch sources include millet, sorghum and cassava. Secondary sources (adjuncts), such as maize (corn), rice, or sugar, may also be used, sometimes to reduce cost, or to add a feature, such as adding wheat to aid in retaining the foamy head of the beer. The proportion of each starch source in a beer recipe is collectively called the grain bill.

Steps in the brewing process include malting, milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. There are three main fermentation methods, warm, cool and spontaneous. Fermentation may take place in an open or closed fermenting vessel; a secondary fermentation may also occur in the cask or bottle. There are several additional brewing methods, such as barrel aging, double dropping, and Yorkshire Square.

...While cold storage of beer, "lagering", in caves for example, was a common practice throughout the medieval period, bottom-fermenting yeast seems to have emerged as a hybridization in the early fifteenth century.
...In the summer months. To further protect the cellars from the summer heat, they would plant chestnut, which have spreading, dense canopies but shallow roots which would not intrude on the caverns. The practice of serving beer at these sites evolved into the modern beer garden.
...Lager beer uses a process of cool fermentation, followed by maturation in cold storage. The German word "Lager" means storeroom or warehouse. The yeast generally used with lager brewing is Saccharomyces pastorianus, a close relative of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast used for warm fermented ales.

...1904July04, West.Union.IA paper: Sat. night Ernest Pfeiffer while pumping up the gasoline plant in the basement of Pfeiffer Bros. drug store in Oelwein had a close call. The tanks were supposed to stand 60lbs of pressure, but the lower end of the tank blew out at 45lbs. The explosion cause the tank to bound upward, striking Mr. Pfeiffer in the face and breast, knocking him several feet where he fell unconscious. He was saturated with gasoline from head to foot, and had there been a lamp near, his fate would have been death. The nearest lamp was 30ft away. Will Pfeiffer, hearing the explosion of the tank and suspecting the cause, had the presence of mind to remove the lamp to the front of the store before descending to his brother's assistance. Will found Earnest's unconscious with his face covered with blood from cuts. He also received severe bruises. It was also a close call for the building. With the air full of gas vapor and gasoline all over the basement, a spark would have ended Earnest & Will life and the building would have gone up in smoke, especially when one considers the paints, oils and other inflammable material of a drug store. The ends and pipes of the wrecked light plant tank had been soldered rather than riveted, which was not sufficient to withstand 45lbs of pressure. Those using gasoline lighting plants should examine them to see if they are soldered or glued together. They need to be riveted. It might save a life and a building.
