The Process of Making Beer
Malting Preparation
The dried grain kernels need to absorb moisture in the softening House so that the barley can germinate. This process takes 50 hours. Throughout this time the barley is aired and washed using pumps. Through the water separator, the barely "dives" - as the brewers like to say - into the softening vat.
(Here place a picture Fig. No x)
Round softening vats and water separation prepare the grain during the even and slow insertion of the barley. (Picture 2/3).
How the Malt is prepared
In every beer, the most important ingredient is malt. Bottom fermenting beers uses barley malt, while top fermenting beers allow the use of other malts. For example, in addition to barley malt, wheat malt will be used. In Athenian Brewery S.A, special malting and brewing barley types have been germinated and cultivated. Important to the barley cultivators are full kernel, fine spelt (husks) and rich enzyme content. Most beer barley types have a lower yield than the barley that feeds animals. With their special ingredients, though, they reach a high yield during fermentation and add to beer's noble taste.
From Barley comes "Green Malt"
Raw barley is not ready to be used in brewing. In order to "unlock" the hidden ingredients, it needs to be malted. To do this the barley, after being cleaned and sorted, is soaked for two or three days in a large vat full of water, where they swell and then begin to germinate. Germination enhancing chemicals are forbidden. The barley kernels soak up water quickly at the beginning, and then more slowly during the soak. With the proper temperatures and rich amounts of oxygen, the barley begins to germinate. Finally the barley is laid out for five days to germinate. Wit...

Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)
The existence of a waste water treatment plant will depend on local discharge requirements and the costs of waste water treatment. Relevant waste water treatment technologies involve neutralisation and anaerobic or aerobic processes.
Workshops
There may be a centralised workshop that machine-tools spare parts, maintains equipment and vehicles, etc. Or workshops may be located near various operations.
Auxiliary Materials Storage
Storage for auxiliary materials such as kieselguhr, glue, labels, etc. is ideally located near where the materials are used.
Waste Storage
Solid waste is normally collected in a solid waste area equipped with compartments or containers for each type of waste.
Legal production of near beer used less than 1/10 the amount of malt, 1/12 the rice and hops, and 1/13 the corn used to make full-strength beer before National Prohibition. (Blocker 7)

The process of manufacturing follows strict protocols in accordance to the company’s formula or recipe. The first step is purifying the water. This removes bacteria, organic matter, and impurities that could degrade the taste and the color. Filtering, sterilizing, and dechlorinating the water is the next step. The water is then pumped into storage tanks. This is when the sugar and flavoring are added. Finally the beverage is carbonated and
There are existing opportunities in the craft beer industry. The competition, however, will be more intensified in the future and this will force companies to provide high-quality beers to attract customers.
There are hundreds of varieties of corn, however, there are just five basic families: flint, dent, popcorn, soft corn, and sweet corn. Flint corn was the type preferred in the northern states and was used in cornmeal that made dense breads and johnnycakes. It is a low yielding corn and because of demand, dent corn is replacing its production. Dent corn gets its name from its dimpled kernels. It is now the most commonly grown commercial corn and produces the traditional southern starchy sweet cornmeal. Popcorn is one we are all familiar with. When heated in hot oil, its starchy inner core bursts through it shrinking outer skin. Soft corn is not grown on a commercial scale, but is grown by specialists. It is the corn that was m...

So now you have a basic definition of what homebrewing is but I bet at least half of you here today have never heard of it until now. And I bet at least half of you here are saying, “So what, why all this hubbub about beer? Beer is beer, right?” WRONG! According to The Complete Joy of Homebrewing “it is understood that wines are complex and varied” and wine enthusiasts are unquestioned in their devotion while beer enthusiasts are often met with criticism. In fact, there are probably hundreds of different styles of beer to be enjoyed in the world. Now I don’t intend to go over all of these varieties today, but I would like to introduce you to the two main categories: Ales and Lagers. According to Mashtronauts.com, Ales are fast fermenting beers, which lead to higher alcohol content and more complex taste profiles. Examples of ales are porters, stouts, and India pale ales. Lagers are slower fermenting beers, which leads to a relatively lower alcohol content along with a smoother taste profile. Examples of l...
Beer is produced with a mixture of mashed barley, malt, and rice or corn. U.S. brewers use filtration systems as well as add additives to stabilize the foam and allow long lasting freshness. Bottled or canned beer is almost always pasteurized in the container in prevent the yeast from further fermentation.
Beer was popular from the beginning and was founded on surplus cereal production which was most likely brewed. As you all know beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and was created around 10,000-4,000 B.C. It was known as the agricultural revolution so it was marked as a change from hunting and gathering to agriculture. It was also a major reason to develop grains, which allowed an increase in the population and enabled more organized societies. Seeing that the people began to stay in one place and small societies began to form, it paved the way for the start of civilization. These people thrived to grow more grain and barley in other to make more beer. During this time the ancient Sumerians built city states in the area and began fermenting beer from barely (bread) or grain. “Once beer had been discovered, and its consumption had become socially and ritually important, there was
The Craft Beer Industries has been developed rapidly over these past five years. A shifting in demand towards premium beer by emphasizing in quality, flavour, and also styles has significantly contribute to the revenue growth as seen in the graph below:
An ale is any beer that is brewed using only top-fermenting yeasts, and typically at higher temperatures than lager yeast. Because ale yeasts cannot fully ferment some sugars, they produce esters in addition to alcohol, and the result is a more flavourful beer with a slightly "flowery" or "fruity" aroma resembling but not limited to apple, pear, pineapple, grass, hay, plum or prune. Stylistic differences among ales are more varied than those found among lagers, and many ale styles are difficult to categorize. Top-fermented beers, particularly popular in the British Isles, include barley wine, bitter, pale ale, porter, and stout. Stylistic differences among top-fermented beers are decidedly more varied than those found among bottom-fermented beers and many beer styles are difficult to categorize. California Common beer, for example, is produced using a lager yeast at ale temperatures. Wheat beers are often produced using an ale yeast and then lagered, sometimes with a lager yeast. Lambics employ wild yeasts and bacteria, naturally-occurring in the Payottenland region of Belgium.
Barley is a very important grain in the world today. It is very versatile in every way. It has been well adapted through its evolution. It has a very mysterious and much debated beginning. Now however, barely has become well known and so have its many uses. Barley, which is of the genus Hordeum, is a cereal that belongs to the grass family Poaceae. Barley has many different varieties. The most common is Hordeum vulgare, which is a six-rowed type of barley that has a spike notched on opposite sides with three spikelets on each notch. At each notch there is a flower or floret that later develops into a kernel. Hordeum distichum is a two-rowed type of barley that has central florets producing kernels and it has lateral florets that are sterile. Lastly there is Hordeum irregulare which has fertile central florets and different arrangements of sterile and fertile lateral florets. This is the least cultivated species of the three main forms (2).
All types of alcohol go through a fermentation process, when looking sthe production beer, the fermentation process contains a series of distinct stages. Beer includes four main ingredients; some sort of grain (wheat, corn, barley), hops, water, and yeast. The beer process begins with the malting process, the stage where the grain is soaked in water for days to allow adequate germination time. This process is important because allowing the grain to germinate produces enzymes that are need to break down starch in succeeding steps. At times, the conversion of starch to sugar can begin during malting due to enzymes present within the grain, but the majority of the conversions begin in the next step (Michaels, 2010). Following the malting process, the grains go through a process called mashing, defined as the stage where the grain is hydrated causing the enzymes to activate and begin converting the starches into sugars. In the mashing stage enzymes are activated and begin to convert starch into sugars that will eventually go through the fermentation process.
