| Abstract: | In the past twenty years there have been numerous technological innovations which have improved the efficiency and reliability of both malting and brewing. Several of these have stemmed directly from research discoveries. In other cases, research has been needed to ascertain whether innovation at one stage in the process brings a need for adjustments at other stages. Because of the changing climate and pressures on the Industry, e.g. in market requirements, availability of raw materials, considerations of food-safety and cost of energy, brewing technology must continue to evolve and will contribute to and gain from developments in new biotechnology. |
