The effect of wort filling time on fermentation, maturation and acetaldehyde content in beer

Krzysztof, Kucharczyk | Tadeusz, Tuszyński
The effect of wort filling time on the process of fermentation, maturation, and acetaldehyde content in beer was determined. The experiments were performed on an industrial scale, the fermentation and maturation took place in fermentation tanks. Three tanks were filled using three different intervals. Worts were aerated with sterile air and yeast was added after the second fermentation (third passage). During fermentation and maturation, changes in the content of the apparent extract and the amount of acetaldehyde were investigated. Experiments have shown that different filling times have a significant impact on the course of fermentation and the amount of acetaldehyde. With the increase of wort filling time, fermentation speed improved and acetaldehyde content decreased.
