Abstract

The invention is in the beer brewing industry and is related to the production of refreshing drinks with honey. Its goal is to diminish the toxicity and to increase the usage possibilities of beer. In the beer composition malt is replaced by natural bee honey and the beer consists (in grams) of: bee honey 1150-1250, beer yeast 50, hops 20-40, water up to 10,000. The honey is melted in water and boiled until the foam disappears. Then hops is added and the boiling continues for another 15 min. The mix is cooled down; the yeast is added and left to ferment. After the beer stops fermenting, the vessel is closed, kept for 2-3 days at a temperature of 10 degrees C and poured into bottles.

Description

The invention relates to the beer industry and can be used as a soft drink for special purposes, resembling beer in its taste.

Beer is known as a carbonated beverage containing 1.5-7.5% ethyl alcohol (see "Lithuanian Soviet Encyclopedia". - Vilnius, 1976, p.176). Its raw materials include malt, hops, yeast and water.

Also known is dark beer containing cereal malt, hops, yeast,

- 5% sugar and water (see RU Patent No. 2010849, IPC C 12 C 11/02, C 12 G 3 / 00,1994).

The closest to the claimed invention is a light beer (see former USSR Authorization No. 10701154, IPC C 12 9/02, 1981), whose ingredient composition is rice or corn grains 0.163 - 0.203% by weight, twice as much malt, 0,019% by weight of brewer's yeast and hops, 0,122% by weight of sugar.

Ingredients for a well-known beer:

Malt - artificially germinated barley, rye or other cereal grains.They are cleaned, soaked, germinated spec. facilities (malting plants).

Hops are fruits of the mulberry family of conifer herbs (cones), which are yellow powder, rich in lupulin. They contain bitter a - and β - acids and γ - resins. It is mostly β-acid, called lupulone. There are also ephyris oils, which give aroma.

Yeast is a cultural species of the genus yeast (saccharomyces). Biomass contains proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins (especially group B), enzymes. Yeast causes the brewing of the must to ferment, synthesize and accumulate vitamins. The most favorable operating temperature of the yeast is 25-30 ° C.

Drinking a lot of beer of a well-known composition can have negative health effects: increased heart, high blood pressure, faster development of atherosclerosis.Moreover, some people, due to illness (eg prostate), are advised not to drink beer.

The object of the invention is to reduce the possible toxicity of the beer and to widen the possibilities of consumption.

The essence of the invention is that beer containing yeast, hops and water is replaced with bee honey instead of malt, and the composition of the beer ingredients (g) is:

bee honey 1150 -1250, brewer's yeast 50, hops 20 - 40, water up to 10,000.

Bee honey (LST 1466: 1997) is a sweet, aromatic substance made from prefabricated nectar or lipstick. Nectar can be collected from various plants (acacia, linden, clover, buckwheat, heather ...). Honey contains 18 - 20% water, about 80% carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose), about 0.4% protein, some organic acids, enzymes, aromatic and mineral substances, vitamins, alkaloids, dyes. When fresh, it is liquid, and as water evaporates, it matures, thickens and adheres. Color depends on iron and others. concentrations of compounds in nectar.E.g. linden honey is yellow and buckwheat dark brown. Honey heals respiratory diseases, improves digestion, is suitable for prevention of atherosclerosis, has a strong bactericidal and antiviral effect.

The invention is illustrated by the following examples.

- The third example

1200 g of bee honey dissolve in 10000 g of water and boil for about 1 hour. until it stops foaming. Adds trapped water to boiling water during cooking to maintain 12% sugar content. Boil the foam during cooking and then add 20 g of hops and boil for about 15 minutes. The mixture is cooled to 30 ° C and placed in a container where 50 g of beer yeast is added (see MA Chukmasova, VV Rudolf, "Technology piva i bezalkogolnych napitkov" - Moscow, 1971, p. 322) and in a warm place 10- At 30 ° C. The volume of the foam that occurs when the beer is fermented must remain in the container. After 3-5 days the beer stops fermenting, the foam subsides, the container is closed and kept at 10 ° C. After a further 2-3 days, the beer is blown into bottles, which are immediately sealed and kept at a temperature of 6-8 ° C.

Analogously to Example 1, various ingredient formulations were tested (see table).

Conclusions:

1. When the composition of the beer contains 1150-1250 g of bee honey, up to 10,000 g of water, g of yeast (at a rate of 0.5% of the total weight) and 20-40 g of hops (4,5,6,

8, 9 examples), obtains optimal variants, as the beer is then about 5 ° strong, tastes good and stays stable for a long time without being bitter.

2. When the honey content of the beer is less than 1150 g, the beer is not suitable for long-term storage because the signs of secondary fermentation begin to appear (examples in Tables 2 and 3).

3. When the honey is added at more than 1250 g, the beer is too sweet (example 7 in the table).

4. For hops of more than 40 g, the beer is too bitter (example 9 in the table).

The beer presented is less toxic and has better nutritional properties compared to the known, because the natural bee honey in its composition is greener and healthier for the human body.

Claims (2)

1. A composition of beer ingredients consisting of brewer's yeast, hops and water, characterized in that it contains bee honey. 2. A beer ingredient composition according to claim 1, characterized in that it contains g bee honey 1150 -1250, brewer's yeast 50, hops 20 - 40, water up to 10,000.
