14-16 Flashcards
six row barley is
higher protein, higher DP(enzymes), lower extract, used for adjunct brewing
2 row barley
lower protein, lower enzymes, higher extract, lower levels of adjuncts in brewing
steeping
Steeping - Enables barley to absorb sufficient water for germination and hydration of endosperm
germination
Germination - Permits growth of embryo under control
kilning
Kilning - Lowers the moisture of the green malt to 4-5% (colour, aroma and flavour development)
typical kilning temperatures are
50-85 C
24-48 hrs
lowers moisture to 4-5%
typical germination temperature are between
14-20 C
3.5-4.5 days
42-45% moisture
typical steeping temperatures are
12- 18 C
36-48 hr
enables water and hydrolytic enzymes to move throughout endosperm
DP
diastatic power (enzymes)
drying phase of kilning
lower temp higher airflow (50-60C)
Curing phase
start at 10% moisture end at 4% (70-85C)
- stop growth and modification of malt at the end of germination
- develop unique colours flavours and aromas
roasting green malt
- stop growth and modification of malt at the end of germination
- develop unique colours flavours and aromas
Base malts goal is to
preserve the enzymes and provide starch(extract)
lager and pilsner malt may have
DMS precursor
green grassy aroma
colour malts kiln off temp usually
85-115C
contribute body, colour, aroma and mouthfeel
