The brewing process of beer

The brewing process is divided into three stages, wort making, fermentation, and packaging. Barley is transformed into mellow beer through mashing, fermentation, filtration, and other procedures. When brewers plan to build a brewery, they not only need to know knowledge of beer equipment but also know the beer brewing process.
As the most common drink in life, beer can be found everywhere. Beer can be divided into different types according to a different standards. Beer can be divided into top-fermented and bottom-fermented beer according to the production method and the type of yeast. It can also be divided into high-strength and low-strength beers according to the concentration of the original wort. It can also be divided into light, brown, and black beers according to color. Of course, there are many types of beer. Today, the engineer of Micet craft will introduce to the brewers how delicious beer is brewed.

The Four Essential Elements of Brewing Beer

Water

Water quality plays an important role in the brewing of beer. Good water produces good beer, and whether the water quality is hard or soft will have a great impact on the taste. Some brands of beer taste good, also to the outstanding craftsmanship, the water quality selected is of high quality, which affects the quality of the finished beer.

Hops

Types of hops: dry hops, hop pellets, hop extract.
The material used for hops is also very important., different amounts of hops are added to adjust the taste of the beer according to different flavors of beer. The amount and batch of hops and the time of delivery are decisive factors. Hops are divided into two types: aroma type and bitter type. Brings aroma and bitterness to beer, . Hops also inhibit spoilage and help hold the head (the top of the foam when pouring beer) longer. It also has the function of bactericidal and is a natural preservative.

Yeast

The role of yeast is to break down all the sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol, as well as produce some other decomposition products that form unique flavors.

Malt

Malt generally refers to barley malt and wheat malt. Of course, all grains will germinate and will be called malt. But barley and wheat malt are common and traditional in beermaking. There are various types of barley malt between the two. To put it , barley malt is divided into four varieties: basic malt, kilned malt, baked malt, and roasted malt. Without malt, beer cannot be brewed, and without barley, it can still be brewed.
Oats, corn, wheat, rice, rye, and even fruits are all can be used to brew beer, but barley is the most common ingredient in the modern beer industry globally, and others are used as accessories.

After the barley Barley is crushed by a pulverizer. To make the skin broken but not broken , which plays a certain role in filtering.

Saccharification process

Saccharification refers to the process by which amylase converts starch into sugars such as maltose, maltotriose, glucose, and dextrin.

filter process

Use a rake knife to filter out the primary wort from the wort layer, and then wash the wort to get the secondary wort for the next step of boiling, to use the raw materials.

boiling process

In the high-temperature process, the wort will be sterilized, also, in the high-temperature process, hops can be added to enhance the flavor of the wort, and the protein is also better decomposed.

swirling process

When the wort rotates and flows in the tank, some residues and large protein particles can be solidified and concentrated in one place, which will make the beer clear and clean.

cooling down

The wort that after clear precipitation, cooled down with the plate heat exchanger by passing through the inside refrigerant, then it’s ready to enter the fermentation environment.

fermentation process

Yeast consumes the wort and sugar to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide in this process. Wasted yeast will be discharged over time, and yeast that is still active will be collected for secondary use. Inside the fermentation tank, during this process, the beer will go through a violent internal inversion reaction and complete the fermentation process.

Filtration process

Residual yeast and hop residues are filtered out through a filter, resulting in a clear beer.

Beer storage

The fermented beer is called “bright beer” and is introduced into bright beer tanks for refrigerated storage.

Canned products

After the finished beer is produced, it is connected to the filling system. Followed by the cleaning process in the high-clean workshop, it is ensured that the connected beer is pure,the filling equipment is sterile, and the quality of the packaged finished beer is up to standard.

these brewing processes will help you stand out from other craft breweries. Of course, it also saves you precious time, allowing you to focus on brewing good, delicious beer.
