Behind the Science
The art and craft of brewing a good craft beer requires more than just a passion for fermentables. It involves real science and an understanding of the total brewing process. Every step has to be carefully executed to ensure the finest product and best tasting results.
Step 1 – Milling
The first step is called ‘Milling’. The malted barleys are measured, mixed, and ground into a grist that is not too coarse nor too fine.
Step 2 – Boiling
After separating the mash into a clear sugary liquid called ‘wort’, the wort is boiled and hops are added to give the brew its distinctive flavor. The mixture is boiled from 50 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the character of the flavor desired.
Step 3 – Fermentation
After boiling, the wort is chilled, removed from the grains, and beer yeast is added. The mixture is pumped into tanks where the yeast consumes the sugars, metabolizing them into alcohol in a fermenting process that takes about 5 days.
Step 4 – Aging
When the fermentation process is complete, the beer is put into kegs or bottles and infused with CO2 for carbonation. This is the process of aging and it can last from a week to several months. Many brewers use wooden casks made from specific wood to imbue their beer with a unique character and flavor
Step 5 – Packaging
Once the brewing and aging process is complete, the beer is ready to be packaged for consumption, either in bottles or on tap in your favorite bar drinking establishment.
