Abstract

The previous chapter was concerned with the many complex chemical processes and physical changes taking place during wort boiling. Under no set of practical conditions can all of these be fully optimized. It is understandable therefore that various breweries select different conditions of wort boiling and that these differences are reflected to some degree in the character of the beers produced. Illustrating the complexity of the situation, the various unit operations involved in wort boiling, hop separation, and wort cooling are set out below [1].
