Beer manufacturing process

1. Wheat selection and germination:

Choose high-quality barley, wheat, etc. Strictly follow the standard, and then classify and clean according to the fullness and size of the particles. Soak the washed barley for three days, then send it to the germination room for germination, and the germination time is about one week until the amylase produced by malt meets the requirements. If you choose home-brewed beer, choose ordinary barley on wheat. The soaking time is generally about three days. Germination needs to be controlled by yourself. Xiao Zhi suggested that it should be kept in an incubator with constant temperature, so as to ensure the temperature at least, and the germination time is about seven to ten days. )

Second, pulping:

This step is simple. Air-dry the malt first, then grind it with tools, and add a certain amount of hot water to mix. Made into "malt pulp". The flowers you brew are the same. )

Third, add hops:

Filter the prepared wort to remove impurities, then put the filtered wort into a brewing tank, heat the brewing tank, add hops to the wort after boiling, and continue to cook for two to three hours. When filtering homemade beer, be sure to use clean and disinfected filtering equipment, then boil it in an ordinary pot and add hops. The cooking time is also two to three hours. )

Fourthly, fermentation:

After boiling, filter out impurities, and then cool the mash to about 5 degrees Celsius. Then pour into a fermentation tank, adding yeast for fermentation, and closing the fermentation vessel. Fermentation has already started at this time, and it usually takes about five to ten days to ferment. If you brew it yourself, you can use sealed glass jars and other utensils for fermentation, but you must pay attention to disinfection. )

V. Maturity:

This step is like the aging of brandy. Put the draft beer in the regulating tank for two months, and the beer will slowly mature by itself. At this time, the color of beer will gradually become more transparent. (Homemade beer is now complete. The last step is aging. If you brew it yourself, Xiao Zhi suggested that the container should be sterilized, sealed with draft beer, and then dug a big hole in an uninhabited corner and buried. If it is inconvenient to dig a hole, it can be stored in the refrigerator. Then it is aged for two to six months. )

Six: filtering:

Filter the cooked beer with the sterilization filter again, and the beer will be amber at this time. At this time, the homemade draft beer has been brewed. Note: You must drink your own beer within three to five days after opening. If you can't finish it, it will go bad, so you can't drink it. )

Seven: sterilization:

This process is definitely indispensable in the brewery, because only after "pasteurization" can the yeast in the beer stop fermenting and the beer can be preserved for a long time.

Eight, packaging:
