How Beer is Made

hat happens when the ingredients of beer—malted barley (malt), water, W yeast and hops—are combined? Let’s take a virtual tour through a brewery and see. Whether you visit a giant like Anheuser Busch, or your local brewpub, the steps are more or less the same. The first ingredient, malted barley, would make a perfectly respectable breakfast cereal: crunchy, bready, slightly sweet. The brewer mills the malt, cracking the grains between rollers to expose more surface area. Then, just as tea leaves or coffee grounds are steeped in water to extract their flavors, the malt is heated with water in a large kettle called a “mash tun.” The hot water pulls the sugars from the malt into a solution known as “sweet liquor.” The Magic of Fermentation The brewer rinses the malt (“sparging”) and strains it to get Cooled to the right temperature, and chock full of sugar, wort the last of the sugars into solution. The malt is now “spent is the perfect diet for yeast, the uni-cellular organisms that do grain,” useless for beer, but still good for baking, or for animal the work of fermentation. The yeast is pitched in and goes feed. ingesting sugar and making more yeast. But the brewer isn’t The sweet liquor is piped into the next large tank in the interested in yeast propagation, but in the by-products of the brewery, the brew kettle.

The holic atmosphere becomes unfriendly: the yeast slow down, or new stew of malt sugars, hop flavors and water is called “wort.” even die. Fermentation is complete. The “green” beer is transferred to conditioning tanks to age. If the beer is an ale—a beer produced by a yeast that works at relatively warm temperatures—it can be ready to drink within days. If it is a lager, produced by a yeast that works at lower temperatures, it will need conditioning (“lager- ing”) at a cooler temperature for several weeks or longer. At this point, the beer is almost ready for you. In a brew- pub, you can order beer from serving tanks adjacent to the fermentation tanks—as fresh as beer can be. A distributing brewery puts its beer into bottles or kegs at this stage, either bubbling with the natural CO2 the yeast releases into the brew, or with the carbonation augmented in the beer or at the point of dispense. Either way, you should end up with a glass of fresh beer, packed with complex aroma and flavor. Take a moment to gaze through the golden, amber or mid- night liquid. Its elements have been soaked, warmed, germi- nated, toasted, milled, steeped, boiled, cooled, fermented, fla- vored, aged, gassed, and chilled. Four simple ingredients have been through a lot to make that simple glass of beer. Enjoy it!
