Brewing

Heineken is made of water, barley, hops, and yeast. Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. Barley ( Hordeum vulgare) is an annual Cereal Grain, which serves as a major animal Feed crop, with smaller amounts used for Hops are the female Flower cones of the hop plant ( Humulus lupulus) Yeasts are a growth form of eukaryotic Microorganisms classified in the kingdom Fungi, with about 1500 Species currently described In 1886 H. Elion finished the development of the Heineken A-yeast. Year 1886 ( MDCCCLXXXVI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Dr H Elion, a pupil of the French Chemist Louis Pasteur, developed the 'Heineken A-yeast' in the Heineken laboratory in 1886 This is the yeast that is still used for the beer. ^[1]

The brewing process is conducted as follows: First the water is purified in water tanks; then, the barley is malted in the barley tank. Brewing is the production of Alcoholic beverage and Alcohol fuel through fermentation. Malting is a process applied to Cereal grains in which the grains are made to Germinate by soaking in water and are then quickly halted from germinating further After one and a half days the germination starts by soaking the barley. Germination is the process whereby growth emerges from a period of dormancy Seven or eight days later, the malted barley is dried in a mill and seed roots are removed. The malt and the water are mixed and boiled in the mash copper and become wort. In industrial Process engineering, mixing is a Unit operation that involves manipulating a Heterogeneous physical system with the intent to make it Boiling (also called ebullition) a type of Phase transition, is the rapid vaporization of a Liquid, which typically occurs when a liquid The wort is then filtered in the filtering copper. Filtration is a mechanical or physical operation which is used for the separation of solids from fluids (liquids or gases by interposing a medium to fluid flow through which the fluid The hops are added to the wort in the wort copper and the wort is boiled again. ^[3] The hops give the beer the bitter taste. ^[4] All solid particles are removed from the wort in the whirlpool. The wort is then cooled and the yeast is added in the fermentation tank. ^[3] The yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide by fermentation. Sugar is a class of edible Crystalline substances mainly Sucrose, Lactose, and Fructose. In Chemistry, an alcohol is any Organic compound in which a Hydroxyl group ( - O[[hydrogen H]]) is bound to a Carbon Carbon dioxide ( Chemical formula:) is a Chemical compound composed of two Oxygen Atoms covalently bonded to a single Fermentation in Food processing typically refers to the conversion of Sugar to Alcohol using Yeast under Anaerobic conditions ^[4] After seven days the wort has become green beer, which is 4. 5% alcohol by volume. The green beer matures in lagering tanks for four to six weeks, reaching 5% alcohol by volume. Alcohol by volume (abbreviated as abv or ABV) is a standard measure of how much alcohol ( Ethanol) is contained in an Alcoholic beverage It is then force carbonated. The yeast is removed in the filter tank with the natural silicon kieselguhr.
