Raw materials for brewing beer

Water: To brew good beer, you need good water, and water quality is the key factor affecting it. Soft water with less minerals is suitable for brewing beer with a refreshing style, such as Pilsner beer; while hard water has a higher mineral content, which will highlight the characteristics of hops.

Malt: Malt is one of the most important raw materials for brewing beer. Malt provides the sugar needed for fermentation and is also the key to beer taste and color. Although most beer is brewed with barley, wheat, oats, rye and chocolate barley are also used for brewing. The color of beer is determined by the degree of malt roasting, which is divided into dark roast and light roast.

Hops: The hops that endow beer with a bitter taste and aroma. There are different varieties of hops all over the world, such as floral, fruity, grassy, etc. Hops are usually divided into flake and granular types. In addition to giving beer a wonderful aroma, it also has the function of preserving.

Yeast: Yeast fermentation of wort produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, and different yeasts have different flavors. Because of the characteristics of different yeasts, the upper-fermented ale and the lower-fermented lagers were developed. The fermentation period of Aier yeast is short and the temperature is high. The yeast will accumulate on the top of the fermentation tank, which is characterized by the strong fruity aroma of the yeast; while the Lager yeast has a longer fermentation period and low temperature, and the yeast will gather at the bottom of the fermentation tank. It has a refreshing taste.

Understanding the brewing process

1.Mix barley malt and water into wort
The beer brewing method is to crush and mix the germinated dry barley malt with water and saccharify it in a saccharification pot. The temperature of the malt porridge in the saccharification pot is about 65-70°C. This temperature range will cause the enzymes in the husk to convert starch into sugar. , Soaking for 1 hour, after saccharification, it becomes clear sweet wort.

2.The wort + hops, boil, cool down and add yeast
Then, the separated wort is pumped into a boiling pot and heated, and hops are added after boiling to make the beer produce various aromas of hops. Then, the wort is immediately pumped to the vortex tank to settle the hops and impurities, and then a clean wort can be obtained, and then cooled by a plate cooler, and then the wort is added to the fermentation tank to start fermentation.

3.Waiting for fermentation
Good beer takes time to ferment and mature, about 1 month, some even longer.
