Malt drink is a beverage made from malted grains, usually barley, and is often characterized by its rich malt flavor, dark color, mild sweetness, and smooth mouthfeel.
In many African markets, particularly in West Africa, malt drinks are popular non-alcoholic beverages enjoyed by people of different ages. They are commonly consumed at home, in restaurants, during social gatherings, and at celebrations.
Unlike conventional beer, non-alcoholic malt drinks are generally formulated to provide a rich malt taste without the intended intoxicating effect of alcohol. Depending on the recipe, they may contain malt extract, sugar, water, carbon dioxide, and other permitted ingredients.
Except for beer brewery equipment, Tiantai also provides turnkey solutions for malt drink production equipment. The basic brewery equipment needed simliar with beer brewing. The production process as below:
1. Malt Milling
Malted barley is milled to achieve a suitable particle size for efficient starch conversion and extract recovery.
2. Mashing
The milled malt is mixed with water in a stainless steel mash tun. Temperature-controlled mashing allows enzymes to convert starch into fermentable sugars and other soluble components. It has an agitator for uniform heating, the heating can be realized by electric or steam.
3. Lautering and Wort Filtration
After mashing, the liquid wort is separated from the spent grains through a lauter tun or suitable filtration system, producing wort for the next processing stage.
4. Wort Cooling
The filtered wort is cooled to the appropriate fermentation temperature through a heat exchanger. Accurate temperature control helps create suitable conditions for yeast activity.
5. Fermentation
The cooled wort is transferred to stainless steel fermentation tanks, where yeast converts fermentable sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation temperature and duration are controlled according to the product formulation and desired flavor profile. If we want to produce non-alcoholic malt drink, then the fermentation tank will not need further.
6. Post-Fermentation Processing
Depending on the final beverage requirements, the process may include maturation, filtration, carbonation, and pasteurization before packaging.
7. Filling and Packaging
The finished beverage can be packaged in bottles, cans, or kegs using a suitable filling system selected according to production capacity and packaging requirements.
Tiantai, provides turnkey solutions on brewery and beverage equipment. Every malt beverage project has unique processing requirements. Tiantai can customize the equipment configuration according to your raw materials, recipe, target alcohol content, production capacity, and final packaging format. The brewery system mainly includes:
- Malt mill and grain handling equipment
