The use of sorgo malt for beer production
Sorghum grain-derived malt was added (40% by mass) to the barley-derived one and then fermented at 20 degrees C for 7 days and then at 15 degrees C for 14 days by using brewing yeasts to resp. beers. Use of the Safale S-04 yeast resulted in prodn. of the weekest beer (EtOH content 5.31%), while use of the Saflager W-34/70 yeast resulted in prodn. of a stronger beer (EtOH content 5.76%) with the best sensory note (38.1). All beers showed good foam, bright colour with slightly pink shade and bracing character.
