As children, Ray Parrish \u201991 and his brother were obsessed with the Guinness Book of World Records<\/em>, devouring the new, hardbound volume they unwrapped each Christmas morning. It was a lifelong dream, Parrish said, to see their own names among the recordholders.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to last December, when Parrish, now co-owner of the firefighter-founded Maltese Brewing Company in Fredericksburg, decided to look up the world record for spiciest beer. When he found none, he contacted Guinness \u2013 started in the early 1950s by Guinness Breweries<\/a> \u00ad\u2013 about establishing one.<\/p>\n

That set off a chain reaction with Parrish, a former physics major at Mary Washington, reaching out to his alma mater, where he connected with another alum, Sarah Smith \u201912. Now a visiting professor in the recently merged Department of Chemistry and Physics, Smith looped in junior biochemistry major Valerie Ebenki.<\/p>\n

When Mary Washington alum Ray Parrish ’91, now co-owner of Fredericksburg’s Maltese Brewing Company, decided to set the Guinness World Record for the spiciest beer, he turned to his alma mater for help. Now UMW Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry Sarah Smith ’12 and junior biochemistry major Valerie Ebenki are trying to determine the heat content of Maltese’s Signal One 2.0 beer, a pineapple IPA infused with 500 Carolina Reaper chilies, the world\u2019s hottest pepper.

The trio\u2019s quest? To determine the heat content of Maltese\u2019s Signal One 2.0 beer, a pineapple IPA infused with 500 Carolina Reaper chilies, the world\u2019s hottest pepper. The professor and student both said they came to Mary Washington for precisely these kinds of experiences \u2013 not necessarily attempts at world records, but high-impact learning opportunities where faculty and students work closely on endeavors.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to participate in real world research, proposed by an alum who is now working in the local community, is a fantastic opportunity,\u201d said Ebenki, who\u2019s applying skills from Smith\u2019s analytical chemistry courses \u2013 literature searches, data collection, results interpretation \u2013 to this project.<\/p>\n

Smith and Ebenki are determining the concentration of capsaicin, a chemical that makes peppers spicy and pungent, and its \u201ctwin sibling,\u201d dihydrocapsaicin. They\u2019re employing the Scoville Heat index, a unit of measurement that calculates chili heat. Working in the Jepson Science Center labs, Ebenki said they\u2019re using a ventilator hood and protective wear to guard against the highly irritant chemicals.<\/p>\n

\""When <\/a>
“When people think about chemistry, they often think of scientists in lab coats and goggles with smoking beakers as they are portrayed on TV and movies. It really is much more than that,” said Smith, shown here, explaining to Ebenki, a UMW student, how to extract capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin from Maltese’s Signal One 2.0 beer. “Just about every single product we purchase has been subjected to chemistry to make sure it is safe and within set guidelines.” Photo by Suzanne Carr Rossi. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>

“I knew this project would be a great learning opportunity and a foundation to my research skills,” said Ebenki, a junior biochemistry major who plans to pursue a career in family medicine. Photo by Suzanne Carr Rossi. <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Though the original Signal One was never analyzed, Parrish estimates the new 2.0 version is roughly 70 percent hotter than its predecessor. Aside from these experiments, beer itself is a \u201cveritable chemical soup,\u201d he said. Maltese\u2019s head brewer must balance sugar conversion, yeast nutrition, acid utilization \u201cand many other chemical processes just to fill your pints and growlers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enrolled in UMW\u2019s pre-medical track, Ebenki said this experience will be beneficial in her planned career as a family physician. \u201cIn my research, I discovered that capsaicin is a compound in pain relievers for muscle and joint creams that are prescribed to patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parrish said he\u2019s impressed, both with Ebenki\u2019s \u201cthirst for knowledge and success\u201d and how quickly Smith turned his simple request into a full-fledged learning opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt illustrates UMW\u2019s commitment to teaching and guiding students into interesting, challenging and experience-building ventures,\u201d said Parrish, whose own professors encouraged him to pursue his passions, leading him to his current vocation.<\/p>\n

After they submit their findings to Guinness, the record-seekers will have to wait several months for the results and, hopefully, an even greater boost in business.<\/p>\n

\""My <\/a>
“My hypothesis is that a Guinness World Record will provide a boost in business, mainly with visitors to the area looking for a unique experience and ‘chile-head’ destination tourists seeking the next big challenge,” said Ray Parrish, co-owner of Fredericksburg’s Maltese Brewing Company, who turned to UMW’s recently merged Department of Chemistry and Physics to help him realize his lifelong dream of becoming a record-holder.

Despite the pandemic, this past year has been Maltese\u2019s most successful in its six-year history. Parrish credits the support of the local brewing community and loyal customers, many of whom have already attempted the Signal One 2.0 challenge: Down 10 ounces in 10 minutes. Many have tried. Few have succeeded.<\/p>\n

Regardless of outcome, Parrish plans to toast their efforts at the end of the spring semester. Ebenki doesn\u2019t drink beer and has yet to sample the hot stuff, but \u2013 win or lose \u2013 he promises to have an ice cold root beer waiting for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
