How to make Craft Beer
“Our Brewery uses classic individual beer technology, taking into account the wishes of the consumer. We practice innovation and experiment,
01. MASHING
The grains are soaked in hot water (not boiling). Kinda like making tea. The water is drained and a sweet sticky liquid is left over. That’s wort! Which really is un-brewed beer.
02. BOILING
Hops are added to the wort and boiled for about an hour. The bitterness in the hops balances the sugar in wort. The hops also provide flavor and are a natural preservative.
03. FERMENTING & AGING
This is where the magic happens! Yeast is added after the wort is cooled, strained and filtered. The actual brewing process is finished and the fermentation starts. The beer is kept between 12-20 degrees Celsius, depending on the type of beer. While you’re waiting the yeast is working hard to eat up all sugar in the wort and creating alcohol in the meantime. After fermentation the “green” beer is stored below 5 degree Celsius. This takes at least 3 months so the taste of the malt, hops and yeast can develop to its fullest.
PUTTING IT ON TAP
Hooray! After waiting with such passion and patience, the new beer is FINALLY ready to be put on tap!
