In the beer industry, it is crucial to maintain the stability of beer taste. Today, Tiantailai will explain to you several key external factors that affect the stability of beer taste, so that beer producers and consumers can better control and understand the quality of beer.
I. The impact of temperature on beer taste
The storage environment of beer has a direct impact on the taste. Studies have shown that for every 10°C increase in temperature, the rate of beer aging will double. Therefore, breweries must strictly control the temperature when transporting and storing beer to prevent beer from aging prematurely. A cool environment is ideal for beer storage so that consumers can taste fresh and delicious beer.
II. The impact of light on beer taste
Specific wavelengths in light (350-500 nanometers) cause beer to produce substances with a sulfur taste, which seriously affects the taste of beer. To block these rays, breweries usually use brown bottles to fill beer, and green bottles are also a good choice. White bottles are not very suitable. In addition, beer packaged with heat shrink film should also be stored in a dark place to avoid direct sunlight.
III. The influence of time on the taste of beer
Freshness is the soul of beer. To maintain the fresh taste of beer, breweries should try to shorten the storage time of beer. The sales cycle of craft beer sold on the market is generally no more than two months, especially in summer, this time will be shorter. Therefore, it is meaningless to pursue a long shelf life. When selling beer, the principle of first-in-first-out should be followed to ensure that consumers taste the freshest beer.
IV. The influence of mechanical vibration on the taste of beer
Mechanical vibration during transportation will destroy the stability of beer and accelerate aging. Especially in summer, the temperature of beer that has just been pasteurized is relatively high. If it is transported over long distances and under high-temperature conditions, it will seriously affect the taste of beer. Therefore, the timeliness of beer transportation is also an issue that breweries need to pay attention to.
Summary
Maintaining the fresh taste of beer is a common concern of beer producers and consumers. Here, Tiantai recommends that breweries control quality in all aspects from raw materials, production, and sales to market development during operation so that consumers can enjoy the best taste of beer.
