It is known that the barley kernel size is an important factor regarding the uniformity of the malting and brewery processes, barley valuation, approval andmarket value. In order to facilitate the barley purchasing process, a fast field technique for kernel size evaluation, such as the image analysis technique proposed in this work, would be greatly appreciated as a fast and simple procedure for barley selectio...
It is known that the barley / malt grain size is an important factor regarding the uniformity of malting process and hence the brewery process. For that purpose an image processing and analysis system was built for the evaluation of grain / malt size, on the ImageJ public domain platform. A programme was developed for the barley / malt images treatment and determination of several morphological parameters as we...
Although traditional batch overwhelmingly prevails over continuous fermentation, a breakthrough in quality and savings could be achieved by a simple, flexible and cheap fermentation system. This work deals with a complete continuous beer fermentation consisting of an airlift and a packed-bed reactor containing yeast immobilized on spent grains and corncobs, respectively. The goal was to study the influence of p...
