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