CONDITIONING

SLIDE 8

Dynamic Equilibrium

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Solubility

  • At any given pressure or temperature, it is possible to

hold a definite amount of CO2 in solution.

  • At equilibrium, the concentration of CO2 in the beer is

directly proportional to the pressure of the CO2 in the gaseous phase.

  • PCO2= HXCO2 This is Henry’s Law
slide-10
SLIDE 10

Solubility

  • PCO2= HXCO2
  • PCO2 is the Partial Pressure of CO2 in the head space
  • xCO2 molar fraction of CO2 in the liquid
  • H is Henry’s constant, if temperature changes so does

H

  • Dissolved CO2 (DCO2) in a closed dynamic

equilibrium is proportional to the P and T of the system

  • PCO2/ H = XCO2

Rate of Carbonation

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Rate of Carbonation

  • V dC/dT

= speed of gas uptake

  • V is proportional to A and CE-C
  • A

= area of gas liquid interface

  • CE-C

= what is possible minus what is present

slide-14
SLIDE 14

What does this mean?

  • To condition a beer with added gas:

– Controlled top pressure – Controlled temperature – Have large Area

  • Small bubbles from sinter stones
  • Internal rouser for top pressure
slide-15
SLIDE 15

What does this mean?

  • To condition naturally:

– Controlled top pressure during the conditioning – Controlled temperature during the conditioning – Fermentable sugars and live yeast in CT or – Fermentable sugars and live yeast in keg – Fermentable sugars and live yeast in Cask

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Remember

  • Once top pressure is removed or the beer increases

the dynamic equilibrium will change

  • This can happen at filling or serving in the bar
  • We overcome this by

– filling against back pressure – Ensuring the temperature is constant – Using laminar flow

CLARITY

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Haze and It’s Causes

  • What is Haze?
  • How we can protect against it

– pH – Raw material

  • Malt
  • Adjunct

– Hops – Clarification

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Is Beer Clarity Important?

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Is Beer Clarity Important?

The clarity and colour of beer form the first impressions a customer receives.

slide-21

What is Haze?

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Main Haze Particulates

  • Protein:Polypenol

complexes

  • Beta Glucan and Starch
  • Oxalate, metal ions
  • Brewing Yeast
  • Wild Yeast
  • Dead Yeast
  • Bacteria

Haze

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Control

  • As most particulates come from the Mash, we have

some control over what is in the final beer – The ionic composition of the liquor. This will effect the pH in which the biochemical reactions take place – The quality and ratio of the dry goods i.e malt quality and adjuncts.

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Process pH

  • The pH plays and important role in optimising the

action of enzymes.

  • It also affects the efficiency of the various fining agents

used.

Mashing Parameters

Process pH

pH Liquor 6.0 – 8.0 Mash 5.2 – 5.5 1st Runnings 4.8 – 5.2 Last Runnings < 5.6 Wort at Copper Up 5.1 – 5.4 Wort at Copper Out 4.9 – 5.2 Beer post fermentation 3.8 - 4.2

Dry Goods

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Malt

  • Contains:

– Starch – Protein – Beta Glucans and Gums – Polyphenol in husk

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Malt

  • Problems are minimised by:

– Mashing process; milling and hydration – Mash pH – Mash temperature – Malt quality/ Modification – Choice of Adjuncts

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Wort Boiling

  • Coagulates protein and

polyphenol

  • Needs vigorous boil
  • Measure OG change or dip
  • Should see drop in pH of 0.2
  • Hot break forms
  • Cold break process starts
slide-32

Kettle Finings

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Hops

  • Contain Polyphenol
  • Contain Oil
  • Effect of Brew house

added hops can be dealt with

  • ‘Cold side’ added hops

can cause an oily haze

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Clarification

  • Auxiliary Finings
  • Isinglass Finings
  • Centrifugation

– All work with Stokes Law

  • Filtration

FINING

Application

  • f

auxiliary finings loads all positive and neutral particles with a negative charge All beer particles now rendered available for isinglass interaction The combined flocs settle entrapping any unreacted particles more effectively

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Centrifugation

  • Centrifugation

– High level of separation – Quick – Generates heat – Causes shear – Reduces Losses – DO2 pick up – Energy – High capital

slide-38
SLIDE 38

Filtration

  • Pass the beer through every decreasing pore sized

filter media to create a bright and in some cases sterile product

  • Powder
  • Cartridge
  • Sheet
slide-39

Powder

slide-40
SLIDE 40

Powder

Pros

  • Can deal with heavy

loading

  • Big Volumes
  • >500Hl/ hr
  • Can change between

beers types

  • Stabilisers can be added

with powder

  • Powders are cheap

Cons

  • Slow turn around
  • High Capital
  • Disposal of effluent.
  • Slow turn around, can be

labour intensive

  • Need DCO2, electricity,

and DA liquor

  • Powders have H and S

implications

Cons

  • Needs pre treatment of

beer

  • Small Volumes

  • Use on both large and

small scale
