Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of beer brewing, and particularly relates to a beer prepared from shaddock tea and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Beer is a low-alcohol brewed wine with rich foam, obvious hop aroma, refreshing taste and rich nutrition, which is made of water, malt, hops and yeast and contains carbon dioxide. Although beer manufacturing started late, it has developed rapidly, and beer production ranks first in the world. Beer manufacturing not only has a large output, but also can brew various characteristic beers with different tastes and styles through formula and process adjustment, so that the beer is diverse in variety and rich in taste, and is favored by consumers. Tea beer has developed rapidly in the beer field because of its unique taste and high nutritional value of tea polyphenols in tea leaves, strong antioxidant capacity, ability to scavenge free radicals, delay of human aging, protection of the nervous system, and maintenance of brain activity.

[0003] In recent years, high-end beer has gradually started and has occupied a large market share. Health beer not only has a rich taste, but also has high nutritional value. Today, as the demand for consumption is increasingly becoming high-end, the development is very hot. However, although ordinary tea beer has certain nutritional value, the effect is not significant, and it is difficult to meet the increasing demand of the health beer industry.

[0004] Shaddock is a special fruit in Lingnan, and is currently harvested in large quantities in Guangdong Province. In the process of planting shaddock, farmers artificially thinning to ensure the quality of the fruit, which results in the abandonment of some young fruit, causing waste of resources. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a beer prepared from shaddock tea and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] The object of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A preparation method of a beer prepared from shaddock tea, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1, crushing malt and mixing with water, and using stepwise heating for saccharification, filtering after saccharification is completed to obtain wort;

[0009] S2, mixing green tea with 80-85℃ hot water, soaking for 20min, and using ultrasonic oscillation, filtering to remove tea residue after oscillation is completed to obtain tea juice;

[0010] S3, mixing the wort and the tea juice, adding hops, heating until boiling, keeping the temperature constant, boiling for 85 min, reducing to room temperature, adjusting the pH to 5.5-5.7, filtering, obtaining mixed juice;

[0011] S4, adding the mixed juice into the fermentation tank, inoculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and performing fermentation, and when the surface of the fermentation liquid is calm and no bubbles are observed, the fermentation is considered to be completed;

[0012] S5, sucking the liquid in the fermentation tank in step S4 into another clean container by siphoning, aging, clarifying and filtering after aging is completed, sterilizing, and obtaining the beer prepared from the grapefruit tea.

[0013] Further, in step S1, the malt is crushed by a pair roller crusher.

[0014] Further, in step S1, the raw materials are as follows according to weight fraction: 30-35 parts of malt, 90-105 parts of water.

[0015] Further, in step S1, the temperature of the segmented saccharification is as follows: 50°C for 60 min, heating to 60°C for 60 min, heating to 70°C for 20 min, and finally heating to 70°C for 10 min.

[0016] Further, in step S2, the raw materials are as follows according to weight fraction: 5-15 parts of green tea of grapefruit, 20-60 parts of hot water.

[0017] Further, in step S3, the raw materials are as follows according to weight fraction: 85-95 parts of wort, 10-15 parts of tea juice, and 0.2-0.5 parts of hops.

[0018] Further, in step S4, the temperature in the fermentation tank is 15-20°C, and the inoculation amount of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is 0.982×10 -8 ×10cfu / mL.

[0019] Further, in step S5, the aging temperature is 2-4°C, and the time is 5-7 days.

[0020] Further, in step S5, the clarifying agent used for clarification is a cationic clarifying agent.

[0021] Further, in step S5, the pasteurization method is used.

[0022] Soaking the green tea of grapefruit with hot water and ultrasonic oscillation can improve the extraction rate of effective components in the tea and improve the nutritional value; using Saccharomyces cerevisiae can obtain better fermentation effect than general yeast; aging can make the beer have less impurities and better flavor; the beer contains a large amount of anions, and the cationic clarifying agent has better clarification effect; and the pasteurization method can effectively kill miscellaneous bacteria.

[0023] Further, the Mei Qingyao green tea is prepared by the following steps:

[0024] First, the young grapefruits are stressed by free falling from a height of 1 meter for 5 times, the top of the young grapefruits is opened, and the sacs inside the grapefruit flesh are emptied by tools; after the cleaning and drying process, the green tea is placed in the inside of the young grapefruit, placed in an oven, heated to 120 DEG C until completely dried, and sealed at room temperature to obtain the Mei Qingyao green tea.

[0025] The release of alcohols, esters and ketones of the stressed young grapefruits is significantly increased, and the aroma volatile amount is also increased, so that the green tea has a certain fruit aroma; the green tea is placed in the young grapefruit, and heated and dried, so that the fruit aroma of the young grapefruit is fully released, and the flavor of the green tea is improved; the terpenes compounds of the young grapefruit are also released, which not only have the effect of repairing alcohol-induced liver damage, but also have good anti-inflammatory effect; in addition, the process is accompanied by caramelization and Maillard reaction, so that the green tea has caramel sweet aroma, and a certain sweetness is more beneficial to fermentation.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0027] 1. The beer of the present application is prepared by fermentation and aging, has less impurities and better flavor; the Mei Qingyao green tea is treated, so that the beer has higher nutritional value and better clarity.

[0028] 2. The Mei Qingyao green tea is used as a beer raw material, so that the beer prepared has fruit aroma and tea aroma, the flavor of the beer is improved, the health care value of the beer is improved, and the beer is also beneficial to fermentation, and the effective use of resources is realized.

[0029] Therefore, the beer prepared by the present application has good flavor, less impurities, high clarity, high nutritional value, and is beneficial to fermentation, and the effective use of resources is realized, and has important application value in the beer brewing technology field, especially in the health care beer field.
