Brewing in Scotland: A brief history of beer and its production Dallas Iain; Kelly Will
2
Ingredients Water Malted Grains Hops Yeast
3
Malted Grains Grains are allowed to germinate before being dried Used for enzyme production Malted Barley:
4
Hops Female flower cones of Humulus Lupulus plant Flavouring and stability agent Cultivated since 736 a.d
5
Yeast The yeast species Saccharomyces cereviciae has been used in fermenting alcoholic beverages for thousands of years Converting sugars to alcohol
6
The Process Beer Production is split into 7 Sections: Mashing Lautering Boiling Fermenting Conditioning Filtering Packaging
7
The process : Mashing Water + Malted Grains Enzymes change Starch to sugars such as Maltose Different Temperature levels activate different enzymes Starch (C6H12O6)n => Maltose (C12H22O11)
8
The Process: Lautering Separation of extracts won during mashing from spent grain to create “ Wort” Mashout Recirculation Sparging Equipment used : Lauter Tun Mash Filter
9
The Process: Boiling Ensures Sterility Hops added at this stage Vapours of the boil affect flavours, e.g Dimethyl Sulphide Dimethyl Sulphide: (CH3)2S
10
The Process: Fermenting Yeast added to the compound Sugars produced during mashing converted to Alcohol and Carbon Dioxide Maltose(C12H22O11) => Ethanol (CH3CH2OH)+ Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
11
The Process: Conditioning Yeast begins settling at the bottom of the tank Beer is cooled to O degrees Celsius Phenolic compounds become insoluble in the beer Sulphur also reduced by extended cooling
12
The Process: Filtering Stabilises the beers flavour by removing particulates Divided into Rough, Fine and Sterile
13
The Process: Packaging Bottle or cask? Bottle Fermentation Cask Conditioning
