Detailed Explanation of Sugar Production Method: Boil out Saccharification Method

Boil out Saccharification Method

The boiling method is very used in Germany, but since the 1970s, many breweries have switched to the leach-out method. The obvious reason is: that in the face of the oil crisis, the leach-out method can reduce energy consumption during the heating process, and it can achieve more batches of brewing.

Detailed Explanation of Sugar Production Method: Multi-step leaching and saccharification

Multi-step leaching and saccharification

A two-in-one mashing pot and cooking pot (all-in-one), which integrates the function of filtration, with options for tillage and temperature control.

Compared with the single-step leaching mashing method, this method can adjust the sugar composition in the wort by controlling the temperature.

Due to the rapid inactivation of β-amylase during common single-temperature saccharification (66-68°C), there is a limit to the final degree of fermentation, and even prolonging the rest time of saccharification cannot overcome the problem of enzyme inactivation.

Malting and mashing are fundamental aspects of the beer brewing process. These are the processes that have, for millennia, transformed starchy harvested grain into sweet wort that is fermented into ale and beer.

All saccharification methods have a common goal: to extract as much and high-quality extract from the malt as possible, provide it to yeast, and turn wort into beer.

Principle & Prevention – Beer Flavor Defects Caused by Yeast Autolysis

Craft Beer Flavor Defects Caused by Yeast Autolysis

Although brewing yeasts have strong vitality and strong cell walls, which can make them survive in an acidic environment with alcohol, but this doesn’t mean that they won’t die, especially in the fermentation environment with long beer storage time and strong survival pressure.

When the yeast dies, yeast autolysis releases some unpleasant flavors into the beer. Also a lot amount of yeast deposits can lead to unpleasant mouthfeel and imperfections.

Control of Off-Flavors From Fermentation

Control of Off-Flavors From Fermentation

Beer is one of the most delicate and labile beverages from the sensory point of view. It has a complex but moderate taste and aroma and shows a poor flavor stability compared to other alcoholic beverages. Although over one thousand flavor components have been identified in beer, most of them are at the concentrations under the respective threshold values. Even so, all the components may contribute more or less to the flavor of the product. Beer flavor is changeable with a wide variety of influences which occur at all stages of the brewing process and during storage after packaging.
