Full-malt beer, three main ingredients to make you drink with the greatest peace of mind

Nowadays, there are many types of beer on the market, and full-malt beer is a type that people prefer to drink. For this reason, the following article will introduce the three main ingredients for making full-malt beer to everyone, so that everyone can drink it with more confidence.

Barley

The barley suitable for beer brewing is two-row or six-row barley. Two-row barley has a high leaching rate and good solubility, while six-row barley has a higher agricultural yield and strong vitality, but a lower leaching rate and unstable malt solubility. The quality requirements for barley for beer are: less husk components, high starch content, moderate protein content (9-12%), light yellow, shiny, moisture content less than 13%, and germination rate above 95%.

hops

Hops, also known as hops, are perennial herbaceous vines that were used as medicine by the ancients. In 1079, Germans first added hops to beer, which gave beer a refreshing bitter taste and fragrant aroma. Since then, hops have been known as the "soul of beer" and have become one of the indispensable raw materials for beer brewing.

Brewing water

Generally, soft water is suitable for brewing light beer, and hard water with high carbonate content is suitable for brewing strong beer. The requirements for light beer water are: colorless, odorless, transparent, no floating matter, pure taste, no biological pollution, low hardness, low iron and manganese content (high content is harmful to the color and taste of beer, and can cause gushing), and no nitrite.
