Production Of Lager Beer Using Acha (Digituria Exilis)
ABSTRACT
The acha grain was
malted, milled and mashed before filtration. The filterate otherwise called won
was doused with hop and boiled for 60minutes. The wort was cooled and pitched
with Sacchroniyce.v uvarwn. Fermentation lasted for seven days before
maturation of beer for two weeks. Tue grain characteristics include thousand
corn weight of 1 .7g, moisture content, 11.25%, germinative energy 97% and Ash
content 1 .75%. The malt analysis produced a malting loss of I 5.68%, 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 of the wort
showed a specific growth of 1.11, reducing sugar content of 77.8mg/lOOml, 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/100m1, a total acidity of 0.53%, p!-1 of 4.5% and colour of 5.8EBC
units.
