The Science of Mashing
From German brewing and more
------------- Work in progress ------------
Enzymes
- what is an enzyme? - structure of an enzyme - how does it work - temperature affects on enzymes - idealized model for enzymatic activity - optimum temperature vs. time
Starch
- where it is found - glucose and 1-4/1-6 branches - amylose - amylopectin - starch granule structure
Starch conversion
- gelatinization - active enzymes - emzyme temperature and pH optima - mash parameters affecting conversion
