Los siete pasos para elaborar cerveza

People always ask, “What does a winemaker do all day?” It’s an easy question to ask. If we watch the team of brewers at work, you see water splashing around, steam spouting from large stainless steel vats, grain being packed into boxes, and a maze of hoses on the ground. But what happened to all that hose, steel, and manual labor? The brewing process can be broken down into four simplified steps: mashing, separation, boiling and fermentation. The four beer ingredients are brought together at each step to create a wide variety of beer styles.

Brewing beer is a complex process that involves multiple steps, each of which is critical to creating a high-quality product. Here are the seven steps of brewing beer:

Mashing

The first step in brewing beer is mashing, which is the process of mixing crushed grains with hot water to create a mash. The purpose of mashing is to extract the sugars from the grains, which will later be fermented by yeast to produce alcohol. During the mash, the mixture is stirred to ensure that all of the grains are evenly hydrated and to prevent clumping. The mash is then heated to a specific temperature, typically between 148-158°F (64-70°C), to activate enzymes that break down the starches in the grains into fermentable sugars.

Lautering

Once the mash has been heated and the enzymes have done their job, the next step is lautering. Lautering is the process of separating the liquid wort (the sugary liquid extracted from the mash) from the spent grains. This is typically done by pouring the mash through a sieve or a strainer called a lauter tun, which allows the liquid to pass through while holding back the grains. The resulting liquid is called wort, which will later be boiled with hops to add flavor and bitterness.

Boiling

The next step in the brewing process is boiling. During this step, the wort is brought to a boil, which serves several purposes. First, boiling sterilizes the wort, killing any bacteria or wild yeast that may be present. Second, boiling evaporates off any undesirable flavors or aromas that may be present in the wort. And third, boiling is where hops are added to the wort. Hops are the flowers of the hop plant, which add bitterness, flavor, and aroma to the beer. Different types of hops can be used to achieve different flavor profiles.

Whirlpooling

After the wort has been boiled and the hops have been added, the next step is whirlpooling. Whirlpooling is the process of rapidly spinning the wort in a whirlpool tank, which causes any solids or hop particles to settle to the bottom. This helps clarify the wort and prevents unwanted particles from making their way into the finished beer.

Fermentation

Once the wort has been boiled, hopped, and clarified, the next step is fermentation. Fermentation is the process of adding yeast to the wort and allowing it to convert the sugars in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeast is a type of fungus that consumes the sugars in the wort, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide as byproducts. The temperature and length of the fermentation process can vary depending on the type of beer being made, but it typically takes 1-2 weeks for the fermentation to be complete.

Conditioning

After the beer has finished fermenting, the next step is conditioning. Conditioning is the process of allowing the beer to age and mature, which can improve its flavor and aroma. This is typically done by transferring the beer to a secondary fermenter or conditioning tank, where it is kept at a cool temperature for several weeks to several months. During conditioning, any remaining yeast or solids settle out of the beer, clarifying it further.

Packaging

The final step in the brewing process is packaging. This is where the finished beer is bottled, canned, or kegged for distribution. Before packaging, the beer may be filtered or carbonated to achieve the desired level of carbonation. Once packaged, the beer is ready to be enjoyed by consumers.
