Monarch Beverage :: Beer Brewing Process The Brewing Process The brewing process is typically divided into 7 steps: mashing, lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. Today, many simplified brewing systems exist which can be used at home or in restaurants. These homebrewing systems are often employed for ease of use, although some people still prefer to do the entire brewing process themselves. Mashing Mashing is the process of combining a mix of milled grain, known as the grist (typically malted barley) with water and heating this mixture up to allow enzymes in the malt to break down the starch in the grain into sugars. Sugars created in the mashing process will eventually be the fuel for the fermentation process. Lautering Lautering is the process of separating the wort (liquid) from the spent grain. Boiling Boiling the malt extracts, called wort, ensures its sterility, and thus prevents a lot of infections. The boil must be conducted so that it is even and intense. Conditioning Packaging
Beer Brewing for Beginners Article Make Your Own Beer? We know how it is. You can't be bothered to leave your home every time you want to drink eighteen or twenty beers.

When commutated electronically, the motor’s position can be controlled precisely, without any feedback mechanism” (citation from Wikipedia) Any DIY Maker should understand the workings of stepper motors, Ask any Robot maker, just about any motion control a robot makes is done with stepper motors. Here are a few links that will educate you on what stepper motors are, how to understand their operation and how to control them. PMinMO.com has a wiki that provides a good basic introduction to stepper motors, related control mechanisms, and software associated with them.

La primera vez 1. Introducción Si estás leyendo este documento, te has empezado a plantear la fabricación de cerveza en tu casa (sí, se puede), o acabas de descubrirlo y quieres ver la dificultad que puede tener este negocio. Muchos empezamos de la misma manera ¿hacer cerveza casera? ...y sin excesiva inversión económica te puedes introducir en un hobby apasionante, a la vez que gratificante, no olvides que vas a producir cerveza. En muchos libros, manuales y sitios de Internet recomiendan empezar a hacer cerveza a partir de “kits” o extractos, no te puedo decir lo mismo porque yo no he pasado por ahí, y me tiré de cabeza a la elaboración “todo grano”, es decir, a partir de malta únicamente. La cerveza La cerveza, como sin duda sabrás, es una bebida alcohólica, carbónica, de baja graduación, elaborada a partir de agua, malta de cebada, lúpulo y levadura, en su versión más purista. -Introducir la malta molida en agua caliente (alrededor de 65º C) y mantenerla en ella una hora más o menos. 2. 3.
