Study Notes
- A person speaks about the global phenomenon of craft beer, which started in Argentina around 25 years ago and has since spread worldwide.
- Cerevisia, a brewery in Argentina, uses four main ingredients for their beer: malt, water, hops, and yeast.
- Malts include base malts like pilsen and caramel malts, as well as specialty malts like chocolate malts. Malts provide the base flavor and color for the beer.
- The water is heated to approximately 65-72 degrees for mashing. The temperature is adjusted depending on the desired beer style.
- After mashing, the water and wort are boiled for about an hour. Hops are added at various stages during the boiling process to provide bitterness and flavor. Malted barley is also added towards the end of the boil for added sweetness.
- After boiling, the wort is cooled and transferred to fermenters. Yeast is added during the pasteurization process, which involves heating the beer to 100 degrees for less than half an hour and then rapidly cooling it to 20 degrees.
- The brewery produces approximately 25,000 liters of beer per month, with Scottish ale being one of the most popular styles. They also have around 10,000 liters of other styles left and approximately 15,000 liters of Scottish ale in demand.
