The importance of the right temperature
During mashing, certain enzymes are responsible for converting the starch from the malt into sugar. This sugar is the basis for the alcohol content of the beer.
The responsible enzymes work particularly efficiently at certain temperatures. After the so-called mashing-in, which should take place at about 60 degrees Celsius, the mash is kept at about 45 degrees for a few more hours. The temperature in the mash tun is then raised to around 70 degrees Celsius. This heating is usually carried out in stages. This means that the temperature is not changed in one fell swoop, but that the mash is repeatedly rested after being heated in stages. This is to ensure gentle handling of the mash. In addition to an accurate thermometer , these constant temperature adjustments also require a heat source in the form of a burner that can be regulated easily and, above all, as flexibly as possible. It is precisely because of this flexible adjustability that working with gas as a direct heating system enjoys great popularity in the catering industry, among others. For the purposes of your brewery, a gas burner is therefore the perfect complement.
After mashing and lautering, you have been able to extract your wort. The next step is wort boiling. In addition to a suitable wort kettle and other accessories, you will again need a heat source. One of our gas burners is also ideal for this. The right brewing kettle for your burner and a professional thermometer can be purchased from our store.
