Using various hydrolytic enzymes (or external enzyme preparations) contained in malt, under suitable conditions (temperature, pH value, time), the insoluble high molecular substances in malt and malt shaft material are gradually decomposed into soluble low molecular substances, This breakdown process is called saccharification.

Given the amount of time it takes to brew a beer to completion, it can be exceedingly frustrating when it doesn’t taste anything like what you were hoping for. The good news is that brewing beer is a process that's been around for a very long time, which means we’ve learned how to deal with a lot of these flavor issues.

Your fermenters and unitanks provide you with the means to create your beer at a consistent level of quality. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. Eventually, you’ll need to replace your unitanks with newer versions. While these pieces of equipment can last a long time, you shouldn’t hold onto them for too long once you notice something off. Be aware of these signs that you should replace your brewery unitanks if you want to avoid future issues.

After the beer completes the primary fermentation process, we need to transfer the draft beer to aseptic storage tanks for the secondary fermentation process. Transfer takes 1-3 days. The ideal method of transfer is to remove the air from the tank with water, then remove the water along with the carbon dioxide to avoid exposure of the beer to oxygen.
