Abstract

The aim of this project will be to produce beer using honey as malt adjunct. The treatments will be the extract concentration in wort (11, 13, 15 Brix) and the honey proportion on beer recipe (0, 20, 40%). The essays will be carried with two repetition. The beer will be analysed for alcohol, real and apparent extract, real and apparent fermentability, pH, acidity, colour, haze, bitter, CO2 and foam. The sensory analysis of beer will be done by hedonic scale test for appearance, odour, flavour and global evaluation. (AU)
