To increase the efficiency with which hops are used, many brewers use hop products such as pellets or extracts made with liquid carbon dioxide. Some of the latter are modified to make the bitter compounds less susceptible to the light damage that causes skunking. Output in tons 34, 23, 10, 7, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, Brewers Association of America.

The brewhouse is often called the hot side of the process. We will come to the cold side in the next lecture. The incoming malt needs to be stored, usually for around one month; otherwise it does not perform well in the brewery. The incoming water is generally filtered through carbon to remove any undesirable materials and then is adjusted to the desired salt composition.

The hops are brought into cold storage to preserve them, for they are prone to deterioration to cheesy flavors. The malt is milled to produce small particles that are more readily extracted. These are mixed with warm water at the start of mashing, to complete the degradation of problematic polysaccharides, before the temperature is raised to around 65C F to gelatinize the starch, rendering it in a form that is susceptible to the action of enzymes developed during the germination of the grain.

Adjuncts may be usedthe most common ones being corn or rice grits. This is to allow the production of lighter, cleaner products rather than being from a cost perspective, for they need to be cooked in an extra stage,. Some brewers instead add liquid sugars to the later boiling stage. Once the starch has been degraded, the resultant liquid wort is separated from unconverted solids in either a lauter tun or a mash filter, and the spent grains for the most part are sold off as cattle food.

The sweet wort is now boiled to arrest enzyme action, precipitate out unwanted material, sterilize the liquid, drive off unwanted aromatic material, concentrate the sugars, and if hops are added at this stage convert hop resins to a more soluble and bitter form this process is called isomerization. The solid product hot break is removed, generally by swirling the boiled wort in a large tank called a whirlpool according to a principle first articulated by Albert Einstein.

Finally, the wort is cooled. In traditional Germanic practice this was in a huge shallow vessel called a coolship located at the top of a brewery in which the vapors could evaporate and the wort gradually cool, as it did so relinquishing another precipitate cold break , which would collect at one end of the gently sloping tank.

MODERATORS

Not very hygienic, so most brewers use a heat exchanger that operates a little like a car radiator, with very thin metal plates, on one side of which is the hot wort and on the other the cooling liquid water and, often, ancillary coolant such as ammonia or glycol. The heat passes across the surface and the wort is cooled. Still in use on the highest floor of the Cantillon Brewery in Brussels, Belgium, is this copper-lined coolship that began service in What is the hot side of the brewing process? What happens when the wort is boiled? Other Books of Interest Ockert, Karl. The production of alcohol and carbon dioxide is effected by brewing strains of the unicellular fungus Saccharomyces.

They can be broadly categorized into ale strains and lager strains, the former traditionally being harvested after they have migrated to the top of the fermenting wort, the latter after they sink to the bottom. Most brewers insist on using their own tried-and-trusted strains. Wort of the desired strength measured either as specific gravity or degrees Plato, the latter approximating to percentage sugar by weight is cooled to the correct temperature for fermentation, which may be as high as 25C 77F for ales or as low as 6C 43F for lagers, meaning that ales tend to ferment rather faster than do lagers.

The amount of viable yeast is also very important if a controlled fermentation is to be achieved control is important for consistent beer quality : a typical pitching rate is one million living cells for every milliliter of wort for every degree Plato. The yeast also needs a little oxygen it uses it to make its membranes and some zinc needed by the enzyme that makes the alcohol. Many fermentations on a large scale these days are performed in huge cylindrical vessels with conical bottoms, and these may hold as much as seven million liters of fermenting beer.

As the yeast consumes the starch-derived sugars and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, it also multiplies by budding. Approximately three times more yeast is present at the end of fermentation as at the start. Some of this can be used to pitch the next fermentation, but the surplus is used, for example, to feed to animals or to make extracts that form food spreads for use by humans Marmite, Vegemite.

One other product of all brewery fermentations is diacetyl, the material that gives the aroma to popcorn. The flavor of few if any beers A modern beer benefits from its presence, fermentation tank. Like all the vessels in a brewery, the fermenters must be kept clean and this is achieved by so-called Cleaning In-Place [CIP]. After fermentation, beer needs to be chilled to as low a temperature as possible short of freezing it, in order to remove materials that otherwise would precipitate from the beer in your refrigerator.

Some brewers add isinglass finings to help this particle removal, still others centrifuge the beer. Afterwards beer is filtered, usually using diatomaceous earth as an aid. The beer may also have removed from it certain proteins and polyphenols, molecules that link together in beer to give haze.

The polyphenols can bind onto a material called PVPP polyvinylpolypyrrolidone , the proteins onto silica gels. Microorganisms can be removed from beer either by gentle heating pasteurization or filtering through fine-pore membranes. Before packaging, it is also usually necessary to boost the carbon dioxide content of the product. A very few brewers do this by natural conditioning in the bottle or cask, in which residual yeast converts residual sugars into carbon dioxide.

Finally, beer is packaged into kegs or casks for draft dispense, bottles at the rate of approximately 1, bottles every minute , or cans at the rate of approximately 2, cans per minute. How are alcohol and carbon dioxide produced from wort? Why is beer chilled after fermentation? Brewing Yeast and Fermentation. Oxford: Blackwell Science, Ltd. Beers are generally classified into ales including porters and stouts and lagers, although some of the products nowadays seem to fall on the cusp.

For example, there are brewers who use malts traditionally employed in the production of, say, lagers, to make ales and brewers who may use an ale yeast in products they label lager. And these days much of the worlds beer is made in tall cylindro-conical vessels, within which yeast behaves in a similar way whether ale or lager. Traditionally, ales have been brewed from relatively well-modified malts that had been kilned to quite high temperatures, thereby imparting relatively high levels of color and malty flavor.

They were fermented at relatively warm temperatures 15 to 25C; 59 to 77F by yeasts that migrate to the surface of the brew in open-fermenting vessels, from which the yeast could be skimmed off for re-use. Small amounts of hop cones were added to the final beer to afford a strong dry hop character and the beers were dispensed at relatively warm temperatures 10 to 20C; 50 to 68F. Lagers were historically produced from somewhat lightly kilned and therefore low color , less extensively modified malts.

Perhaps 10 percent of the hops were added late in the kettle boil to allow survival of some hop oils as late hop character. Fermentation was at lower temperatures 6 to 15C; 43 to 59F using yeasts that sedimented during the process and were collected from the base of the vessel. The beers were stored cold for lengthy lagering periods and final dispense was cool 0 to 10C; 32 to 50F. The table on the following page lists the major ale categories and their characteristics.

Three types of top-fermenting beer are shown at the right; a German weizenbier wheat beer , an Irish stout, and an English pint o bitter ale. What differences are there in the brewing of ales and lagers? What styles of beer have the highest alcohol content? Websites of Interest The Beer Judge Certification Program was founded in to promote beer literacy and the appreciation of real beer, and to recognize beer tasting and evaluation skills.

The program has administered the Beer Judge Examination to 5, individuals worldwide. There are 2, active judges currently in the program, with holding the rank of National or higher. It is increasingly difficult to categorize beers as being ales or lagers. The table on the following page lists the major lager-style products of the world. For many years, then, beers have been mixed with other beverages to produce refreshing easy-to-drink products, often with a citrus character.
