Brewing process steps |
1. GRIST-Malt (ideal brewing grain is barley) is broken down into little pieces called grist 2. MASH CONVERSION-grist is moved to mash tun where hot water is added, so that natural enzymes can break down the starch of the mash into sugars. 3. LAUTERING- mash is moved to lauter tun where the grain husks are separated from the mash. You are now left with the sugary liquid called wort. 4. BOIL- it is now time to heat the wort to a boil in a controlled tank. Once it is at the boil, the hops are added. 5. WORT SEPARATION- the boiled liquid with the hops added is transferred to a whirlpool where the hops and malt are separated from the liquid and the liquid is cooled within a matter of seconds. 6. FERMENTATION-as the cooled liquid is added to the next vessel, yeast is also added simultaneously. This causes the sugary wort to produce alcohol and Carbon dioxide, and be converted into beer. This is where the flavors are produced. 7. MATURATION 8. FINISHING OFF THE BEER- The beer is finally filtered at this point, and then carbonated. It is then transferred to a beer bright tank, where the cellaring process takes 3-4 weeks to complete. |
