Abstract

In recent years, more and more interest in beer has been observed. We are looking for new raw materials that could be used in the production of this drink. The use of alternative raw materials can change not only the technology of production and its costs, but also the organoleptic qualities of the finished product. The aim of this study was a comparative analysis of qualitative features and compositions of worts and beers made with the contribution of buckwheat malt or millet in various proportions, against a control sample with only barley malt. Worts produced with the addition of buckwheat malt and millet showed lower extract and presence of free amino nitrogen. The use of these raw materials contributed to the deterioration of wort filtration. In the case of attempts made with the use of buckwheat malt, a longer runoff time and a darker color were found. The addition of buckwheat malt raised the extract of beer. There was no effect obserwed of the tested raw materials on the pH of the wort and beer. The content of reducing sugars in the analyzed beers was at a similar level.
