How does the malt used in brewing equipment affect beer?

There are many types of beer, one is barley malt beer, and there is wheat malt beer. Some information has been collected on the Internet. Barley malt is a germinated fruit product of barley, which belongs to the grass family, and wheat germ also belongs to the germinated fruit product of wheat, a grass family plant. Barley malt is used to brew beer and whiskey, while wheat malt acts like yeast but is used as a beer additive. So there are barley malt beer and wheat malt beer on the market, so what are the differences between these two beers?

Wheat beer

Wheat beer uses wheat malt as the main raw material (accounting for more than 40% of the total raw materials), and is brewed by the upper fermentation method or the lower fermentation method. "Wheat beer" is a very characteristic and attractive product in the beer category. The main production areas are concentrated in southern Germany, Austria and Belgium. The "top fermentation method" is adopted. The raw materials are barley malt and more than 50% wheat malt, hops, yeast and water. "Wheat beer" also has another name called "white beer".

Brewing:

Upper yeast fermentation, barley malt and wheat malt are used as raw materials, and the content of wheat malt is at least 50%, up to 70%. Roster malt (wheat processing) is also used. In the secondary fermentation process of repeated heating and cooling (bottles or large tanks, 15-20°C in the early stage, lower than 10°C in the later stage, and as low as -1°C in the tank), German sporozoan yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) with the aid of creating a variety of aromatic components and unique taste.

Barley beer

Barley beer is an English strong ale with a high alcohol content (up to 6%-12% by volume) and is usually amber or copper in color. Since this kind of beer uses more ingredients and is sweeter, more hop content should be used to balance its sweetness. Barley beer is suitable for a period of time after bottling, and the beer that has been matured in the bottle has a very good taste.
 

Brewing:

Bottom yeast type fermentation, using dark Rost Roast Malt (barley processing). One-time fermentation in a fermenter requires conditions below 10°C, and the lower-layer yeast generally does not produce other fermentation by-products. Eventually the yeast sinks to the bottom of the fermenter and is not included in the final finished beer.

The benefits of malt beer, how to make malt beer?

Malt beer is a type of beer fermented from grains, sugar, and yeast with an abv of 6%-12%, which is higher than most commercial beers. Malt beers taste sweet without the bitterness of traditional beers. It has a lot of carbonation and has a mild flavor.

The brewing process for this beverage is similar to that of beer, with some key differences. It's worth noting that malt beer has added sugar, which can be converted to alcohol during fermentation. You could call this grain-based liquor "beer," but the two are generally considered different beverages.

 

Malt beer is made by fermenting grain and sugar for several weeks until the yeast converts most of the sugar into alcohol. This beverage does contain gluten from barley and should be avoided by people who are extremely sensitive to gluten, especially if they have been diagnosed with celiac disease.

Effects on finished product:

1. The higher the concentration of the wort, the better the nutritional value. At the same time, the foam is delicate and long-lasting, the taste of the wine is soft, and the storage period is longer.

2. The difference in alcohol content is not too large, so the difference in alcohol content is not as big as that of liquor for the taste of beer.
