India Pale Ales, also known as IPAs, dominate the craft brewing world. While this popular brewing style is relatively straightforward, the limitless options and potential results make it important to perfect your process. Whether you're aiming for a traditional pale ale or a flavorful experimental brew, it’s vital to know the ins and outs of hops, fermentation practices, and other crucial factors in the brewing process.

If you find that you're having a lot of trouble with only getting disappointingly low yields from your brewing process, you're experiencing a very common situation. Low brewing yields boil down to a lack of efficiency in the preliminary steps of brewing. Here are a few tips for increasing brewing efficiency and improving your beer brewing yield that you might not have known about.

​Filtration systems are used throughout the brewing process, and most beers sold today are filtered to some extent. At the end of the saccharification process, the excipients have completed the breakdown of their macromolecules. Therefore, wort (a water-soluble extract) and distillers grains (residue, macromolecular proteins, cellulose, fat, etc.) must be separated in the shortest possible time. This separation process is called filtration of the mash.

During beer brewing, hygiene plays a key role in producing high-quality beer. Microorganisms found in brewery environments and controlling microbial contamination are critical to preventing microbial spoilage of beer. Many common odors stem from wild yeast or bacterial contamination that grows in little nooks and crannies. So we have to take beer hygiene seriously, many things can be a source of contamination, so sanitize after the brewing process, like fermenters and hoses. Next, our engineers will take you to understand the source of pollution.
