PROCESS FOR BEER BREWING WITH ADDITION OF ALKALI METAL HUMULATES AND ALKALI METAL LUPULATES TO THE WORT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for preparing a brewed beverage, in particular for brewing a beer, comprising adding alkali metal salts of alpha-acids and beta-acids to wort before or during boiling of the wort, and—after boiling of the wort—subjecting the wort to a fermentation step wherein the brewed beverage (or beer) is produced. The method comprises contacting (blending or mixing) an alpha-acid and beta-acid containing matter with one or more alkali metal compounds, thereby forming alkali metal humulates and alkali metal lupulates, prior to the addition to the (boiling) wort.
