Process Control in Brewing

Each stage of the beer-making process requires controls of a multitude of variables – temperature, humidity, pH, pressure etc.

Full understanding of these variables will define the quality of the beer.

The principal stages of the processes:

• Mashing – heating the mixture of crushed grains and water
• Kilning – drying the green malt in an oven with hot pulsed air
• Brewing – heating the wort, cooling the liquid
• Fermentation – essential stage which determines the appearance, smell, taste and texture of the beer
