Two Factors Affecting the Stability of Brewable Beer _ Self-Brewing Beer Equipment Manufacturers Talk
2022-04-06First Acquaintance with the Original Wort Concentration of Beer in Craft Beer Equipment!
In addition to the alcohol content, beer also has an original wort concentration, which is unique to beer. So what is wort concentration?
Definition of beer wort concentration
The barley malt and auxiliary raw materials for making beer are converted into maltose by the action of malt amylase and protease, which is measured by the content of sugar, which is the concentration of wort, such as 80 grams of sugar per liter of wort, which is 8°.
According to the concentration, beer can be divided into:
- High-concentration type: The worts concentration is 14° to 20°. This beer has a long production cycle and good stability, and is suitable for storage and long-distance transportation. This type of beer generally has a special flavor and is relatively rare in the market.
- Medium-concentration type: The concentration of it is between 10° and 12°, with 12 degrees being the most common. It is the main variety of beer produced in my country.
- Low-concentration type: The worts concentration is between 6° and 8°. It can be used as a refreshing drink in summer. The disadvantages are poor stability and short storage time. Most industrial beers belong to this type.
- Drinking beer is to drink the wonderful taste of wheat aroma and fermentation, and the alcohol content of a few degrees of deviation is difficult to detect from the taste. It doesn’t make much sense to discuss alcohol content. What matters is whether the taste of beer itself is rich, complex, fragrant, etc., and these tastes of beer are mainly directly related to the concentration of worts.
- Generally speaking, beer with high malt concentration is better than beer with low malt concentration. However, in the entire beer production process, the cost of brewing raw materials is only part of it, including packaging, marketing and branding. As a result, beer with low wort concentration but also more expensive sometimes appears on the market!
Beer concentration and alcohol content
Generally speaking, It concentration is directly proportional to the alcohol content of the beer. For example, the original it is lower than 10P, and the alcohol content generally does not exceed 5%, which is a low-alcohol beer. The dark beer is often as high as 15P to 20P, so the alcohol content is often above 5 degrees. In general, the higher the concentration of it, the more delicate and lasting the foam, and the higher the nutritional value!
