Mashing overview

What is Mashing process?Maybe you are a little puzzling about it.Now let me give some simple introduction about it in the article.

As you know,there are various hydrolase in the malts.It can utilize these hydrolase at a certain suitable conditions to dissolve the indiscerptible macromolecule which contained in the malts and auxiliary material into the discerptible macromolecule.This process called mashing process.

That macromolecule from the malts and auxiliary material called extractum.The extractum is mainly component of various fermentation saccharides (including maltose,Isomaltotriose and glucose),non-fermentable sugar,protein,amylan and mineral substance.The saccharides amount in the wort raise a little than the barley saccharides,for the 11-12°P wort,those fermentable saccharides possess 61%-65% of total extractum,which play the role of the final fermentation degree.

During the mashing process ,about 75-80% raw material(malts and auxiliary material) could be dissolved,the rest part of the raw material will be discharged with the spent grain bed together.

In the mashing process,main dissolved substance include starch decomposition,protein decomposition,glucose decomposition,which dissolve rely on the enzyme reaction.And the temperature and PH has influnce on the enzyme reaction.
