    The Brewing Process

    The Mash

    This is the process that results to the conversion of starches in the malted barley into fermentable sugars. By crushing the malted barley in between rollers, the kernel is broken up. One should however be careful in not breaking it up too much, since it will result to a stuck mash – in which the husk that surrounds the kernel gets broken down as well.

    The crushed grains should then be sprayed with heated water by a hydrator. The dry spots will then be eliminated. The grains will have to stay around an hour inside the vessel with around 65 degrees centigrade. The liquid is then drained and additional heated water is poured over the mash. This makes sure that all of the sugars are removed. The drained liquid containing mostly fermentable sugar will then proceed on to the boil.

    The Wort

    This is the next step in the brewing process. It is called the boil. The finished product here is called wort.

    The liquid from the previous process is subjected to high temperatures until it comes to a strong boil. Hops are then added. The boiling is kept for around 90 minutes. This process adds the bitterness you taste in beer. And depending on the type of beer being brewed, some more hops can be added at the end of the boil. The oils in the hops added near the end of the boil will have some effect on the flavor and aroma of the resulting beer.

    The Process of Separating the Solids

    The solids should now be separated from the liquid. With a device that mimics a whirlpool, the solids are now positioned in the bottom center position forming a seemingly solid cone.

    After draining the wort, it should then be cooled down to the appropriate temperature for the yeast. It is critical to let the wort cool fast. This is made possible by the use of a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The cooling water after the process will then be stored in the tank for use on another set that needs brewing.
