Brewer implements recipe without cereal cooker

Case study: Discover how enzymes helped this brewer overcome equipment limitations. 

Challenge

Brewer wanted to use recipe without a cereal cooker

An international brewer wanted to implement a known recipe into another of its breweries. But the “new” brewery did not have a cereal cooker. How to overcome the equipment limitation?  

Solution

The power of enzymes makes it possible

Novonesis Ceremix® Flex and Ultraflo® Max enabled the brewer to brew with 40% maize grits – and no cereal cooker. Novonesis established proof of concept in the lab before successfully implementing the solution full-scale.

  • Brewer looking at note

    Enabling high FAN recipe with low FAN malt

    Challenge: Constraints in procuring high FAN malt made it impossible for an international brewer to brew its high RDF (78%) brand.  

  • Brewing equipment tank

    Less time, energy and water

    Challenge: For liquefaction, a regional brewer was still using a complex series of temperature holds and rises and multiple additions of malt material to the cereal cooker. 

  • Filtration tank in a brewery

    Enzymes ensure predictable, stable filtration

    Challenge: For years, this international brewer had used the same product for hemicellulose breakdown in its recipes, which go from 10-40% barley.
