In a business environment of occasional raw material shortage, increasing raw material prices and limited options for passing it on to end consumers, it is a constant challenge to build or maybe even maintain profitability. This concerns most business areas and breweries are no exception. But fortunately the problem can be relieved by new biotechnology based on Novozymes enzymes.
Enzymatic beer
Already today advanced brewing enzymes deliver cost savings, increased throughput and consistent beer quality to breweries. The benefits are clearly detectable and tangible:
- 0.5-2% more extract yield
- Shorter cooking cycles
- Up to 40% longer beer filter cycle runs
- 0.5% reduced beer losses
- Maturation time reduced by 2-14 days
- Improved attenuation control
But the story does not end here. Novozymes will continuously develop and commercialize new and even more advanced solutions based on enzymes for optimizing the brewing processes. And beyond the optimization, enzymatic solutions will probably also allow for a wider variety of crops as well as local sourcing of raw material – all of them great benefits that will provide better business for breweries and increase their profit significantly.
