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.
