The Production Process Sample Clauses

The Production Process. Chanhassen Brewing Company plans to produce at least seven different beers per year, all of which may be produced in a similar manner. The following is a general outline for the brewing process: • The process begins with milling. Chanhassen Brewing Company will mill the malt onsite with a roller mill to create grist. • The grist will then be transported to the mash tun where it will be mixed with hot water. This essentially creates the “mash.” • The temperature of the mash will be raised to various “resting temperatures” for predetermined amounts of time before “mashing out” at 168 degrees Fahrenheit. Once mashed out, the liquid now is referred to as “wort.” • The wort is transferred to the brew kettle where it is brought to a rolling boil for a predetermined amount of time. During the boil, hops and other ingredients will be added at specific times as prescribed by the recipes. • After the boil is complete, the wort will be transferred through a heat exchanger. This process will cool the wort from 212 degrees Fahrenheit to a predetermined temperature that is optimal for whatever strain of yeast will be used for that particular recipe (most likely around 70 degrees Fahrenheit). • The wort will then be transferred to a fermenting tank. Here, the yeast will be pitched. The beer will be allowed to ferment until it reaches its final gravity and/or is aged the proper amount of time. • After the fermentation, the beer will be transferred to a brite tank. Here, the beer will be further aged, clarified, and carbonated. • Once the beer is properly aged, carbonated, and clarified, the beer will be filtered and racked into kegs and crowlers where it will be ready for distribution or sale in the taproom.
