Brewery News

0 Japan: Asahi Brewery to spend Y22.5 billion to cut plant costs over 3 years

Japan's Asahi Breweries Ltd. said July 20 that it will spend Y22.5 billion over the next three years in an effort to streamline plant operations and scale down costs on a group basis, Easy Bourse released July 20.

Asahi Breweries, the nation's biggest beer maker in terms of annual beer shipments, said it will add new facilities to produce soft drink and low-alcohol products at its beer-making plant in Ibaraki, north of Tokyo.

The company will shift its Asahi Soft Drinks Co. unit's soft drink production and distribution facilities in Kashiwa, also north of Tokyo, to the Ibaraki plant.

Another of the beverage maker's units, Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., will transfer most of its low-alchohol drink manufacturing to the new facilities in Ibaraki as well.

Asahi expects these steps will benefit the company, estimating a cost cutback of Y5 billion annually on a group basis.

In 2005 beer output increased year-on-year by 3 %, or by 45.8 million hl up to 1.598 billion hl, 2006 Barth Report has recently posted.

Of that amount, China contributed by far the largest share, with an increase of 15.2 million hl. In Europe, Ukraine (+6.4m hl.) and Russia (+4.0m hl.) provided with the strong growth, while the UK, on the other hand, registered a significant drop of 2.9 million hl.

The increase of beer output in America is accounted for in Brazil (+4.4m hl.) and Mexico (+4m hl.). In the USA, output fell by 2.2m hl.

A drop of 2.1m hl in Japan slightly reduced the above-average growth in Asia compared with the rest of the world. Africa shows the highest growth of all continents in percentage terms, with 4.9 %.

Scientific Digest
Biological Acidification of a Mash Containing 20% Barley Using Lactobacillus amylovorus FST 1.1: Its Effects on Wort and Beer Quality

Deirdre P. Lowe and Helge M. Ulmer, Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences and National Food Biotechnology Centre, National University of Ireland, University College Cork, Ireland; Reinhold C. Barta, Institute of Applied Microbiology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Vienna, Austria; Declan L. Goode, Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences and National Food Biotechnology Centre, National University of Ireland, University College Cork, Ireland; and Elke K. Arendt,1 Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences, National University of Ireland, University College Cork, Ireland

ABSTRACT: This study evaluates the influence of biological mash and wort acidification using a thermophilic proteolytic/amylolytic active Lactobacillus amylovorus on brews containing 20% (wt/wt) unmalted barley in laboratory-scale trials as well as 10-hL pilot-scale brews. The biologically acidified mash was compared with a chemically acidified mash, 100% malt mash unacidified, and 80% malt (wt/wt)/20% (wt/wt) barley unacidified mash. Characteristics such as pH, extract, color, viscosity, total soluble nitrogen (TSN), free amino nitrogen (FAN), apparent fermentability, ß-glucan, sugar, and amino acid profiles of the resultant worts were determined. In the pilot-scale brews, foam stability, accelerated shelf life, and sensory evaluation of the beer was determined. It was clearly shown that biological acidification (BA) could compensate for a lower enzymatic activity level of grists containing 20% (wt/wt) barley. Increased levels of extract, fermentability, TSN, and FAN were observed in the laboratory-mash trials along with a sharp decrease in ß-glucan levels when BA was applied. Cast-out wort showed a considerable increase in nitrogenous fractions. Viscosity was decreased by acidification of mashes but did not correlate with ß-glucan levels. The final biologically acidified beer showed a lighter color, improved foam stability, and a more well-rounded taste with increased shelf life in comparison with the chemically and the nonacidified beer.
