A craft beer flavor enhancement process using oak barrel micro-oxygen aging

PendingCN122081019AIncrease the content of characteristic flavor substancesIncrease the content of flavor substancesWort preparationBeer fermentationBiotechnologyCarbonization
This invention discloses a craft beer flavor enhancement process using oak barrel micro-oxygen aging, belonging to the field of craft beer brewing technology. This process achieves the targeted transformation and accumulation of flavor compounds in craft beer through oak barrel pretreatment, precise control of the micro-oxygen environment, and optimization of aging process parameters. First, the oak barrel undergoes a combined pretreatment of toasting, carbonization, and maceration. Then, the fermented base beer is poured into the pretreated oak barrel, and a stable oxygen concentration is maintained within the barrel through a micro-oxygen control system, aging under suitable temperature conditions. Craft beer brewed using this process exhibits a significantly increased content of characteristic flavor compounds and an effective reduction in the content of off-flavor substances such as acetaldehyde. The beer combines the rich aroma of oak with the refreshing taste of beer, solving the problems of single flavor and prominent off-flavors in traditional aging processes, and significantly improving the quality and market competitiveness of craft beer.
