Sugar-rich countries, can consider using sugar or syrups as excipients. They are easy to use and can be added to kettle directly. It can increase fermentation and improve beer favor.
However, it should be noted that sugars and syrups are used as excipients. The amount of sugars and syrups used is 10%-20%, if used too much, which can make the yeast malnutrition, the taste of beer is weak, and the foam performance is poor.
1.Sugar
In the production of light beer, the sugar is added to the kettle directly during the mashing process. The content of fermentable sugar increases, Nitrogen content decreased in the wort.
So The beer has lower color and higher degree of fermentation, because beer contains less nitrogen substances, it is conducive to maintaining beer taste and flavor stability. However, in the production of malt beer and sweet beer in Germany, in order to prevent the increase of alcohol content, sugar can not be added to the wort, but should be added to the bright tank after the beer is filtered. After the sugar is added, the original wort concentration of the beer must meet the specified requirements.
There are many types of sugar, including sucrose, invert sugar, glucose and caramel etc.
2.Syrup
Commonly used syrups in beer production, mainly corn syrup and barley syrup.
Due to the composition of barley syrup is very similar to that of wort, so
barley syrup and wort can be mixed directly, then the wort to be boiled.
This wort has almost no difference with the traditional method of wort, and the final degree of fermentation, sugar composition and the amount of amino nitrogen is the same, except that the wort added syrup has a low polyphenol content.
