Economic perspective   

1.Although the rice is broken rice, it is understandable that it has to go to a pulverizer to be crushed into smaller particles, but broken rice and whole grain rice are different in appearance, and the price is much lower.

2.Rice crushing also needs to be equipped with a pulverizer, which increases the investment in equipment, occupies the area of the workshop, and adds more processes to the production.

3.Because malt contains enough enzymes to decompose extra starch, unmalted grains are used to replace part of the malt, accounting for about 15-30%. These grains that are cheaper than malt are called auxiliary materials, and there are many kinds, such as corn, rice, sorghum, barley, wheat, etc.; rice is only used because the consumption of rice as the staple food increases, the leftover material (broken rice) will increase , the amount is enough, and its starch content is high (85-90%)

4.The addition of rice and other auxiliary materials is nothing more than converting the starch contained in it into sugar, but this needs to be heated and gelatinized by adding water to the gelatinization pot, and then pumped to the mashing pot to combine with the malt mash in the saccharification, to use the starch in the barley malt. Enzymatic conversion, there is an more configuration of a gelatinization pot, and it has to consume steam to heat it, which is a lot of expenses.

5.To save the crushing process, starch can be used for gelatinization, and then pumped into the saccharification pot and converted into sugar together with malt. It is better to save the gelatinization pot and buy concentrated syrup, which saves energy and environmental protection, saves money and occupies less space.

 Process angle

1.The gelatinization and the crushing of the auxiliary materials in the front take time. If it takes 1 hour, 3 batches can produce an extra batch of wort.

2.he syrup is added to the boiling pot, the amount of saccharification and the filtered grains layer are reduced, the consumption of water and steam is reduced, the filtration speed of the grains is fast, and the process time is saved.

3.More flexible process control, enough syrup to make up! Regardless of whether the filtered wort does not meet expectations, it may be added syrup through the boiling process to find it, a simple and efficient method!

The above only mentioned the advantages of adding syrup, but there are also some disadvantages. For example, the transportation of syrup is not as small as that of starch. Large breweries are equipped with syrup storage tanks. One can can fit a tanker. It has to be equipped with a rotor pump to transport it, which is also a large investment, but it is still worthwhile compared to the consumption of gelatinization energy all year round.

Although the proportion of fermentable sugars can be increased, it must be noted that sugars cannot bring protein to the wort, which may lower the amino nitrogen content in the wort, which is unfavorable for the growth of yeast and thus affects fermentation; and the syrup cannot increase the Wort aroma substances.

No sugar, generally sucrose and glucose, will be added in the secondary process of craft beer bottles. A small amount of yeast in the fermentation broth of atmospheric fermentation is used to decompose the added sugar to generate CO2 to carbonate the beer to achieve the purpose of killing the mouth. . It is worth mentioning that the added amount must be calculated, otherwise there will be a danger of frying the bottle!
