Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beer processing, and in particular to a secondary sequential fermentation beer brewing process. Background Art

[0002] Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in human history and the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea. It can replenish nutrients in the body, maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body, and has a certain effect on preventing hypertension and gastritis.

[0003] Beer is a low-alcohol beverage rich in carbon dioxide and made from barley malt, hops and water through yeast fermentation. It is called "liquid bread" and is a low-concentration alcoholic beverage.

[0004] Secondary fermentation is a process for producing beer, which can improve the aroma and taste of beer and produce beer with unique flavor. However, most of the existing secondary fermentation methods are to mix yeasts together for fermentation. During fermentation, various yeasts compete with each other, and the fermentation consistency is difficult to control, resulting in poor stability of the final product. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention is proposed to solve the problem that various yeasts compete with each other during fermentation, fermentation consistency is difficult to control, and the stability of the final product is poor.

[0006] The present invention provides a secondary sequential fermentation beer brewing process, comprising the following steps:

[0007] 1) Saccharification: Saccharification is the process in which the malt contents continue to dissolve and decompose under the action of enzymes. After the malt and auxiliary material crushed materials are mixed with water, they are kept at different temperature ranges for a certain period of time, so that the enzymes in the malt can fully act on the corresponding substrates under the most suitable conditions, decompose them and dissolve them in water. The mixed liquid after the raw materials and auxiliary material crushed materials are mixed with water is called "mash" (liquid), and the mash after saccharification is called saccharification liquid. Various dry substances (solutes) dissolved in water are called "extracts". The extracts are composed of fermentable and non-fermentable substances. The saccharification process should extract as much malt dry matter as possible and decompose them appropriately under the action of enzymes. The specific steps are as follows;

[0008] 1.1 According to the formula table, weigh the malt raw materials by weight: 350 parts of added wheat, 500 parts of low-value wheat malt, 75 parts of 25EBC Munich malt, 25 parts of 40EBC caramel malt, and 25 parts of oat rice;

[0009] Auxiliary materials: CaSO4 1.5 parts, ZnSO4·7H2O 0.005 parts;

[0010] Hops: 0.5 parts of Qingdao hops, 1 part of imported Hallertau traditional hops, 2 parts of imported Cascade hops;

[0011] 1.2 The wet grinding feeding process is adopted, and the feeding temperature is 37.0±0.5℃. The weighed malt raw materials are ground while adding water. The ground materials are put into the saccharification pot and stirred evenly. After the saccharification feeding is completed, CaSO4 is added to the saccharification pot. The low temperature of 37.0±0.5℃ is adopted to facilitate the leaching of enzymes and ferulic acid in malt and produce more 4-VG (4-vinylguaiacol);

[0012] 1.3 Heating and heating up, follow the following process in sequence:

[0013] Heat the saccharification pot to 45.0±0.5℃ at a heating rate of 1℃ / min and keep warm for 20min;

[0014] Continue to heat the saccharification pot to 72.0±0.5℃ at a heating rate of 1℃ / min, and keep it warm for 30min until the iodine test is complete;

[0015] Continue to heat the saccharification pot at a heating rate of 1°C / min until the temperature reaches 77.0±0.5°C and then stop heating;

[0016] 1.4 Filter the saccharification liquid in the saccharification pot to obtain the first wort with a concentration of 17.0-18.0°P;

[0017] 1.5 Boil the filtered first wort and add different hops in turn:

[0018] Add Qingdao dahua when boiling for 10 minutes;

[0019] When boiling for 30 minutes, add the imported Hallertau traditional hops, which are produced in Germany and are a typical aromatic hop variety. They are characterized by a strong aroma and a slightly bitter taste, providing a unique taste and aroma.

[0020] When boiling for 60 minutes, add imported Cascade fragrant flowers, which are produced in the United States and are characterized by medium to high intensity floral fragrance and unique smell, with extremely significant grapefruit and citrus aroma and taste;

[0021] 1.6 Swirl precipitation for 20 minutes, add ZnSO4·7H2O during the swirling process, and put into the fermentation tank after cooling;

[0022] 2) Fermentation and wine storage

[0036] According to the design requirements, the flavor of the strains above or below can be achieved. The preference for different flavors can be achieved by adjusting the ratio of the wort fermented above and below.

[0040] 2.2.7 Yeast recovery: The yeast is not recycled and is directly discharged into the waste yeast pool.

[0041] 2.2.8 Diacetyl treatment control: Start measuring diacetyl after the tank is full for 9 days. If diacetyl is ≤40ppb, cool the wine to -1℃~-2℃ for storage;

[0042] 2.2.9 Waste yeast discharge: Discharge once a day during canning, during the reduction period, and when the temperature drops to 0°C. Discharge once every 2 to 3 days during the post-storage period until there is no obvious yeast precipitation.

[0043] 2.3 Beer centrifugation and packaging

[0044] 2.3.1 Remove the yeast and see the wine, then start centrifugation, the yeast count should be controlled within 0.001 billion / ml;

[0106] Comparative Example 1

[0107] Compared with Example 1, the difference is that only JLQ3# above strain is used for fermentation, the wort volume is 15kL, and after the diacetyl reduction of the above strain is completed, the temperature is directly cooled to -1°C ~ -2°C for storage; other processes are the same, and the prepared ale wheat beer is used as Comparative Example 1.

[0108] Comparative Example 2

[0109] Compared with Example 1, the difference is that only JLQ3# bottom strain is used for fermentation, the wort volume is 15kL, and after the diacetyl reduction of the bottom strain fermentation is completed, the temperature is directly cooled to -1°C ~ -2°C for storage; other processes are the same, and the prepared lager wheat beer is used as Comparative Example 2.

[0110] The final wine quality of this embodiment is shown in Table 3.

[0111] Table 2

[0112]

[0113] It can be seen from Table 3 that in two examples and two comparative examples:

[0114] ① The test results of original wort concentration, alcohol content, diacetyl and other indicators are similar;

[0115] ②The acidity index of JLQ3# upper yeast is slightly higher than that of JLQ8# lower yeast;

[0116] ③ Among the flavor substance indicators, the ester aroma, mellow aroma, and 4-VG aroma produced by the yeast of JLQ3# are all prominent, which are much higher than those of the yeast of JLQ3#. The flavor indicators of the two yeasts are quite different;

[0117] ④ In Example 1, the fermentation ratio of the above yeast accounts for 75%, and the product style is more like ale flavor, but the aroma is relatively softer than that of single ale, with richer layers and longer lasting;

[0118] In Example 2, the fermentation ratio of the above yeast is 25%, and the product style is lager-flavored, and has the clove flavor unique to ale wheat beer. The aroma is more prominent than that of single lager beer, and the layers are richer and more persistent. The taste of the two comparative examples is relatively single and does not have the characteristics of rich layers.

[0119] ⑤ The present invention can utilize the flavor differences of the two yeasts to compositely produce a new type of beer with unique flavor that has both ale flavor and lager flavor.

[0120] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred embodiments, and it cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
