A culinary workshop like craft beer brewing is a golden opportunity to learn the secrets of making your favorite beverage!
The different stages of brewing
There's a precise process involved in brewing a good beer!
Brewing
The grains of malt are crushed to create a more or less fine grist. The bark of the cereal is crushed, to facilitate access to the starch.
Mashing
During this operation, which extracts thestarch from the crushed malt, the latter is soaked and stirred in a mash tun filled with hot water. At the end of the brewing process, the result is a pasty mixture known as mash.
Rinsing
75-degree water is added to the grains, while the wort drains off at the bottom. Rinsing the spent grains recovers the sugars and flavor of the malt after filtration.
Hopping
During this stage, hops are boiled into the wort to add aroma and bitterness to the beer.
Cooling
Cold water is circulated through a copper coil immersed in the brewing tank until the temperature of the wort drops to 20 degrees. This process prevents external contamination and encourages the yeasts to work.
Fermentation
Once the wort has cooled, the yeasts are added. They reproduce and transform the fermentable sugars into alcohol.
Types of beer
There are many different types of beer. Find out more!
Blonde beers
These are the most common beers. They have a bright golden color. This hue is linked to their light malt. Some of these alcoholic beverages have a fruity flavor.
White beers
Generally speaking, white beers are not made with barley, but with wheat, which gives them a citrus flavor. Renowned for their freshness, they are very popular during the summer months, and go wonderfully well with a slice of lemon!
Brown beers
Their pronounced taste and brown color are due to the barley's high degree of roasting. They often have coffee or cocoa aromas.
Amber or red beers
These beers are made from brown malt. The barley has been extensively roasted, giving these beers a slightly spicy flavor.
