The chemical composition of beer is determined by the raw materials of brewing and by changes that occur during the malting and brewing processes. Chemically, beer can be considered as a water-ethanol solution with a pH of around 4.2 in which hundreds of different molecules are dissolved. These originate from the raw materials (water, malt, hops, adjuncts) and the wort production, fermentation and maturation processes. This updated text presents all the introductory aspects of beer brewing science into one place for undergraduate brewing science courses.
