Since ancient times, wine has been an indispensable part of cultural heritage. No matter banquets, meeting friends, or memorials, there is wine as a companion. Now, craft beer has become synonymous with high-end beer. What is the difference between industrial beer and craft beer that we have drunk for most of our lives? 【Whatsapp/Wechat/Phone/Skype】+8613613856800

The beer equipment manufacturer YG Machinery is specifically introduced as follows:

First, different brewing materials
Beer is a low-alcohol fermented wine containing carbon dioxide and fermented with hops (or hop products) as main raw materials, and fermented by yeast. According to the raw materials and fermentation process, beer can usually be divided into craft beer and industrial beer.

Craft beer: Only use malt, hops, yeast, and water for brewing, without adding any artificial additives. Compared with industrial beer, there is more malt content, more hops are added, and the brewed wort has a higher concentration. Usually, craft beer does not need to consider the cost too much when brewing, and most will choose the best raw materials to brew.

Industrial beer: It is also brewed using malt, hops, yeast, and water, but in pursuit of cost, more raw materials such as rice, corn and starch are used instead of malt. The beer wort produced in this way has a very low concentration and a light taste.

Second, the fermentation process is different
The fermentation process of craft beer and industrial beer is also different. Usually, craft beer uses the Ale process (Ale, upper fermentation process), and industrial beer uses the Lager process (Lager, lower fermentation process). The main difference is the location of the yeast during the fermentation process and the fermentation temperature.

Craft beer: mostly Al process. Yeast works at the top of the fermentation tank and floats above the liquor. The fermentation temperature is generally controlled at 10-20°C. Fermentation tanks are usually small and do not undergo filtration and sterilization treatments after fermentation.

Industrial beer: mostly Lager process. Yeast works at the bottom of the fermentation tank and sinks under the liquor. The fermentation temperature is generally controlled below 10°C. Fermentation tanks are large, and filtration and pasteurization are usually used after fermentation to increase the shelf life (shelf life) of beer.


Third, the storage time is different
Craft beer: Most craft beer does not undergo filtration and sterilization treatment, therefore, craft beer is not very resistant to preservation. Most craft beer has a short shelf life, and some have a shelf life of only tens of days.

Industrial beer: In the later stage of fermentation, industrial beer is often filtered and pasteurized, and has a long shelf life. The shelf life of general industrial beer is 1-2 years, and some can even reach decades.
