This presentation is beginner level, focused on providing the background knowledge of what enzymes are, and where they factor into the brewing process, covering:
Background biology and chemistry of enzymes, proteins, and carbohydrates Endogenous to malted grains (how and why they form) The typical process of brewing, as viewed through the lens of enzyme activity (from mash-in to clarification) Learning Objectives:
Understand the foundation of enzymology (biology and chemistry of enzymes) Review the biological and chemical nature of the components to beer Know the sources of endogenous enzymes in malt Understand the role of enzymes in a basic brewing process
