During
this phase, called the BOILING AND HOPS phase, hops in
pellet form are added (pressed flowers). After the boiling phase,
the wort is cooled and transferred to FERMENTATION TANKS (C)
where yeast is added, or "pitched". This starts
the primary fermentation phase, and where most of the sugars turn
into alcohol
After about a week, the "young beer" passes to the
MATURATION AND FILTRATION (D) phase, at the end of which
the beer naturally reaches the necessary carbonation and full-bodied
taste.
From the MATURATION TANKS, the beer travels directly to
the PUB TAPS (E). The continuous presence of yeast imparts
an opalescent appearance that is different from industrial beers
and gives the beer a full-bodied, concentrated flavor.
From a nutritional standpoint, due to the yeast and the fact
that it is not pasteurized, the beer is particularly rich in vitamins
and other nutritional supplements.
