Some reflections on mashing – Part 2
The first part of this two-part article (BRAUWELT International no. V, 2016, pp. 309-311) consists of a detailed discussion of mash parameters and how they can serve as a powerful tool for enhancing wort and beer quality. The skillful manipulation of these parameters provides a highly effective means for compensating for a particular year’s harvest and the natural fluctuations in quality which may occur. Mash parameters also afford brewers more creativity by allowing them to tailor their wort to the needs of a particular beer style through the targeted use of malt enzymes. Selected examples are presented in the second part of this essay to illustrate precisely how to bring these concepts to fruition.
