1. How color of beer can be developed?
Malt is made from barley, wheat, rye, and spelt. Craft beers use heritage grains like Emmer.
The grain kernels are soaked in water for up to two days. Enzymes assist the starch turn into
maltose. The next phase is drying, which uses hot air to dry the malt. It’s during this process
that the malty flavor and various color intensities (EBC) of the beer are formed. Light malt is
dried at approx. 80 °C, dark malt at approx. 100 °C, black malt at approx. 220 °C.

Examples of frequently used varieties:

- Pilsner Malt is produced from barley; Pilsner Malt is the most widely used base malt in
the world. In other regions, it is typically known as lager malt or pale malt. It is
exceptionally light and suitable for all types of beer. The EBC value ranges between 2
and 5.5
- Munich malt, on the other hand, has an EBC value ranging from 9.5 to 25. This is
primarily used for dark, black or strong beers. It has an intensive malty aroma, gives a
full-bodied flavor and provides a rich color.
- Due to special processes, caramel malts contain caramalized sugars, which are no longer
fermentable. These are available in all colors – from pale to reddish and dark. They
enhance the full-bodied flavor and result in a certain sweetness.
- Roasted malt gives beer an intensive roasted aroma and deep-brown to black color. It’s
dried for a particularly long time at a hot temperature. Barley isn’t the only grain that can
be used to produce these varieties – wheat, rye and spelt are options too.

2. List out 3 interesting things


- To begin, I'm curious about the process of malting, which uses barley.
Malted barley, often known as malt, is the grain of choice for brewers when it comes to
producing beer. It is barley that has been let to germinate by soaking the grain in water
for a period. This is the most fundamental form that it can take. This step gets the
starches ready to be transformed into sugars that can be fermented.
The malt is most employed in the brewing or whisky-making processes, although it is
also capable of being processed into malt vinegar and malt extract.
- Next is types of barley: Barley, growing in a field. Most barley is what’s called “covered
barley,” which means it has a tough, inedible outer hull around the barley kernel. This
covering must be removed before the barley can be eaten. A less common variety,
referred to as “naked” barley, has a covering, or hull, that is so loose that it usually falls
off during harvesting. Hulled barley is covered barley that has been minimally processed
to remove only the tough inedible outer hull. It’s challenging to remove the hull carefully
so that some of the bran is not lost – but that’s what must be done for covered barley to
be considered whole grain. Hulless Barley is a subtype of barley that has an outer hull
that is only very loosely linked to the kernel, and as a result, it usually separates from the
kernel when it is being harvested. This not only speeds up the processing but also
guarantees that none of the bran or germ will be lost.
- The last, color tells us surprisingly little about what a beer will taste like. It gives us
probabilities, not certainties. And, naturally, dark brown or black beer is more likely to
showcase cocoa and coffee flavors.
