Beer Production
Boiling the wort: The diluted and filtered wort is boiled for around 2
hours. Hops are added at this stage. The purpose of boiling is to:
Transform and make soluble the bitter substances in the hops;
•Eliminate undesirable volatile substances;
•Sterilise the wort;
•Provoke the precipitation of proteins of high molecular weight;
•Establish the final concentration of wort.
Before the hopped wort goes into the fermentation tanks, it is cooled to
a temperature of around 9 ºC and aired in sterile conditions.
