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
