BREWING FAQ
What are the ingredients?
Water, Malted Barely, Wheat, Hops and Yeast... That’s it! We may and some salts Calcium Sulphate or Calcium Chloride to balance water chemistry.
What is the brewing process?
We grind the grain to expose the cereal starch within the husk to the water during the mash.
We then mash the grain in water to convert the starches to sugar, proteins. Controlling the temperature of the mash allows us to determine the ratio of fermentable sugars to
non-fermentable sugars. The result of the mash is called a wort.
We then lauter ie separate the hot wort from the grain. We Sparge ie rinse the grains recovering more sugary water and balancing volume with sugar concentration.
The hot wort is boiled and the famous hops added. Some hops provide bitterness to balance the sweetness or add specific flavours to the beer.
The wort is then cooled quickly and yeast added. The yeast a type of fungus, ferments the wort a natural process in which sugars are converted to alcohol. The type of yeast used and the temperature of fermentation will have an effect on the taste of beer.
Once fermentation is complete the beer is matured and carbonated if required.
