Abstract
The separate fermentation of malt wort and a carbohydrate solution (the adjunct fermentation process) is discussed in relation to factors which have to be taken into account when calculating the volumes of malt and adjunct worts which are to be fermented and to effects of this method of making beer on various aspects of beer analysis. These effects indicate that a beer of desired original gravity can be made by use of the adjunct fermentation process from about 1% less raw material than when conventional methods are used, and that the additional degree of freedom which the adjunct fermentation process introduces can be turned to account in making easier a precise control of beer analyses and in optimizing the malt: adjunct ratio to make products of desired type.
