Production Of Lager Beer Using Acha {Digitaria Exilis}:- Mezie, Amarachukwu C
ABSTRACT
The acha grain was malted, milled
and mashed before filtration. The filterate otherwise called wort was doused
with hop and boiled for 60minutes. The wort was cooled and pitched with
Sacchromyces uvarum. Fermentation lasted for seven days before maturation
ofbeer for two weeks. The grain characteristics include thousand com weight of
1,7g, moisture content, 11.25%, germinative energy 97% and Ash content 1.75%.
The malt analysis produced a malting loss of 15.68%, diastatic power of 10°L,
cold water extract of 64.766%, hot water extract of 145.077L°kg and a moisture
content of 5.12%. The result from the analysis ofthe wort showed a specific
growth of 1.11, reducing sugar content of 77.8mg/100ml, soluble nitrogen of
0.95%, and a very clear wort was produced. The beer produced has a specific
gravity of 1.05, alcohol content of 4.3%, residual sugar of 6.38mg/l00ml, a
total acidity of 0.53%, pH of4.5% and colour of 5.8EBC units.
