The Beer Brewing Process A brewery is literally a beer factory in which the brewer takes advantage of and manipulates natural processes to create the perfect growth medium for yeast. On the surface the brewing process is simple. But it you look a little deeper you find that there is a complex set of chemical reactions at work in the creation of beer.

• Milling. The first step of the process is crushing the malt. This breaks apart the grains, exposing the starchy ball inside and making it accessible to the brewer. The grains are only lightly crushed, leaving the hulls intact to serve as a filter bed for the lautering process later on.

• Mashing. Mashing is the process by which the brewer extracts fermentable sugars from the grain. Basically it consists of steeping the grains in water at temperatures between 140° and 160° Fahrenheit for a period of sixty to ninety minutes at a thickness similar to porridge. This activates naturally occurring enzymes in the grain that convert the grain starches into sugars, like maltose, that yeast can metabolize. This process occurs in a vessel called a mash tun.

• Lautering. During lautering the fermentable sugars are rinsed from the grains. As the sugary liquor from the mash, now called wort, is slowly drained from the bottom of the mash tun, heated water is pumped in from the top at the same slow rate. As the water flows through the grains, it raises the temperature to about 170°Fahrenheit, making the sugars more soluble and easier toremove. As mentioned above, the intact grain hulls form a natural filter, removing bits of grain and proteins fromthe wort. In some brewing systems lautering occurs inthe mash tun. In others the entire mash is pumped to a special lauter tun.

• Boiling. From the lautering stage, the wort is pumped to the kettle where it is boiled. A vigorous boil is maintained for sixty minutes or more. During the boil the wort is sterilized and concentrated to the proper sugar density, haze causing proteins are removed (hot break), and light caramelization occurs that deepens

the flavor and color of the beer. One of the most important things to occur during the boil is the addition of hops. Hops for bittering are added early in the boil, while those for flavor and aroma are added later.

• Cooling. Following the boil, the wort is pumped through a heat exchanger to cool it as quickly as possible to fermentation temperature. Rapid cooling minimizes the danger of bacterial contamination and causes more haze causing proteins to precipitate out of thewort (cold break).

• Fermentation.Yeast is added once the wort has reached the desired temperature for fermentation.

Brewers call the additionof yeast pitching. Once the yeast has been pitched the wort can properly be called beer. Fermentation can last a few days or a few weeks depending of the strain of yeast and the strength of the beer.

During the process the yeast reproduce and then metabolize the sugars, making C02, alcohol, and a host of other flavorful and aromatic compounds that add complexity to the beer. During the height of fermentation the beer is capped by a thick creamy foam called kreusen. Once the available sugars have been consumed the yeast cells clump together or floc and fall to the bottom of the fermenter.

• Conditioning. With fermentation complete, the beer is removed from the yeast and pumped to a conditioning or bright tank where it is stored at near freezing temperatures that cause most of the remaining yeast to drop out of suspension. Hops can be added at this point as well, astep known as dry hopping that lends the beer additional hop flavor and aroma. Once the beer is clear it is ready to filter and package.
