What is the general process and procedure of beer brewing, and what technical support and equipment are needed to open a small shop selling draft beer?
Brewing technology beer brewing technology beer brewing technology is mainly divided into four parts: malting, saccharification, fermentation and canning. With the cooperation of computer and testing equipment, with the help of monitoring configuration software platform, different control schemes can be selected according to different needs, and the parameters such as temperature and pressure in the production process can be accurately adjusted to ensure the production process requirements. The development of beer industry in recent decades is a process from industrialization to automation. The future of beer industry should be similar to other process industries, and gradually transition to the direction of management and control integration, so that production data can be better integrated into business decision-making channels, production control mode is more reasonable, and the degree of intelligence is further improved. Malt is made from barley Barley is a hard grain, which ripens faster than other grains. It is precisely because barley is faster than wheat, rye and oats in making malt that it is selected as the main raw material for brewing. Wheat without shell is difficult to malt and is not suitable for brewing. Barley must convert insoluble sediment into soluble sugar through malting process for brewing process. In addition to ordinary malt, crystallized malt or roasted malt can also be used as ingredients for various brewing types. Crystallized malt is steamed malt, stewed slowly and then dried. It's dark and tastes like coffee. The roasted malt is dried and roasted in a rotating drum with high heat, which can make the beer contain burnt flavor and black color. The quality of malt varies greatly in different producing areas. Generally speaking, there are three major beer and wheat producing areas in the world, Australia, North America and Europe. Among them, Australian beer malt is most favored by beer brewing experts because of its emphasis on nature, abundant light, no pollution and pure variety, so it is also called golden malt. Hops belong to nettles or cannabis plants. Wine peanuts have the structure of cones, and it is these cones that inject bitterness and sweetness into beer, making it more refreshing and delicious and helpful for digestion. Hop type: cones: cones are collected in early autumn and need to be dried quickly, then put into barrels and sold to brewers. Particle: Crush the crushed cone in a special mold and put it on a tray. The tray is placed in a vacuum or nitrogen-filled environment to reduce the possibility of oxidation. The shape of the particles is suitable for adding to the container. Extract: the extract of hops cones is now widely used in all beer varieties, and different extraction methods will produce very different flavors. The extract should be added at the last stage of the process, which is more conducive to controlling the final bitterness. Special extracts can be used to organize the photoreaction, so that beer can be produced in transparent containers. Different brands choose different high-quality hops, for example, green beer only uses green bullet hops that clean the deep valleys of New Zealand. Yeast is a fungal microorganism. Yeast is a magician in the process of beer brewing. It ferments the sugar in malt and rice into beer, producing alcohol, carbon dioxide and other trace fermentation products. These small and diverse fermentation products, together with other flavor substances directly from malt and hops, constitute the attractive and unique sensory characteristics of the finished beer. There are two main types of beer yeast: upper yeast and lower yeast. Under the microscope, the yeast on the top is slightly oval than the yeast on the bottom. The name Topyeast comes from the fact that during fermentation, yeast rises to the surface of beer and can be skimmed at the top. There has always been bottom yeast in beer, which eventually precipitates at the bottom of fermentation barrel after fermentation. Acroyeast produces light beer, stout beer and bitter beer. Bottom yeast produces storage beer and pilsen beer. Refined sugar: Refined sugar is an important additive for some beers. It makes beer lighter in color, less in impurities and fresher in taste. In the green beer brewed by the company, refined sugar is obtained by adding rice, which makes the taste of beer more refreshing to meet the taste needs of consumers. Water: Each bottle of beer is more than 90% water, and water plays a very important role in the process of beer brewing. In addition to the cleanliness of water quality, beer brewing must also remove the mineral salts contained in the water (some manufacturers claim that beer is brewed with mineral water for commercial purposes) before it can become soft water. The location of early breweries was very demanding, and it must be a place with clear water. With the development of science and technology and the maturity of water filtration treatment technology, the requirements of modern brewery for site selection are greatly reduced. Tap water and groundwater can be filtered and treated to make them almost pure water, and then used to brew beer. What needs to be pointed out in particular here is that the water used by Tsingtao Brewery Company is added with appropriate mineral elements according to scientific data, which is the best source to supplement high-quality protein with the substances in beer yeast powder (beer yeast powder is rich in vitamin B, vitamins and minerals, up to 50% in protein). ) compatibility, brewing world-class high-quality beer products. The malt is sent to the crushing tower before being sent to the brewing workshop. Here, malt is crushed by light pressure and made into malt for brewing. Gelatinization treatment: mixing malt/grain to be crushed with water in a gelatinization pot. Gelatinization pot is a huge rotating metal container, equipped with hot water and steam inlets, stirring devices such as stirring rods, blades or propellers, and a large number of temperature and control devices. In the gelatinization pot, malt and water are heated and boiled. This is a natural acid that converts insoluble starch and protein into soluble malt extract, called wort. The wort is then sent to a filter container called a separation tower. Before the wort is pumped into the boiling pot, the hull of the wort should be removed in the filter tank and hops and sugar should be added. Boiling: in a boiling pot, boil the mixture to absorb the smell of hops and improve and disinfect it. After boiling, the wort added with hops is pumped into a rotating sedimentation tank to remove unwanted hops residues and insoluble protein. Cooling fermentation: after the clean wort is pumped out of the cyclone sedimentation tank, it is sent to a heat exchanger for cooling. Subsequently, yeast was added to the wort to start the fermentation process. In the fermentation process, artificially cultivated yeast converts fermentable sugar in wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide to produce beer. Fermentation took place within eight hours and proceeded at an accelerated speed, accumulating a kind of high-density foam called wrinkle foam. The foam reached its highest stage on the 3rd or 4th day. From the fifth day, the fermentation speed slowed down, and wrinkles and foams began to appear on the surface of wort, which must be skimmed. After yeast fermented all fermentable substances in wort, a thick layer of sediment began to form at the bottom of the container. Then the temperature gradually decreased, and the fermentation was completely finished after 8~ 10 days. In the whole process, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature and pressure. Of course, different beers and different brewing techniques lead to different fermentation times. Usually, the fermentation process of stored beer takes about 6 days, and light beer takes about 5 days. After fermentation, most of the yeast settled at the bottom of the pond. The brewer recycled this part of yeast for the next can. After yeast is removed, the obtained fresh beer is pumped into the post-fermentor (or maturation tank). Here, the remaining yeast and insoluble protein are further precipitated, which makes the style of beer mature gradually. The ripening time varies with beer varieties, and is usually 7~2 1 day. After post-fermentation, all the residual yeast and insoluble protein were filtered out in the filter, which became sake to be packaged. In green brewing, the unique double filtration process not only removes the impurities produced in brewing more thoroughly, but also makes liquor particularly clear. The crystal clear water lamp allows the drinker to enjoy the visual enjoyment and taste the delicious beer. Before packaging, each batch of beer will undergo strict physical and chemical inspection and sensory evaluation by the sommelier before being sent to the packaging assembly line. There are several packaging forms of finished beer: bottled, canned and barreled. Coupled with the different shapes and capacities of bottles, the different labels, neck caps and bottle caps, and the diversification of outer packaging, a wide variety of beer products have been formed in the market. Green system can produce any kind of contemporary packaging products. Bottled beer is the most popular packaging form, and there are also the most typical packaging processes, namely, bottle washing, wine filling, sealing, sterilization, labeling and packaging. The closer the beer is to the production date, the fresher it is and the better it tastes. The beer produced by the brewery is transported to the dealer, then from the dealer to the retailer, and finally to the consumer. Efficient and smooth distribution channels are the guarantee for consumers to drink fresh beer. Excellent brewers in the world agree that the highest level of brewing beer is to balance all kinds of raw materials skillfully, so that their tastes are harmonious without suppressing each other. This kind of beer is clear, mellow and refreshing, with excellent hops taste and natural taste of flat malt. Green beer created by world-class brewers is such a kind of beer.
