The traditional source of enzymes for converting cereals into beer is barley malt, one of the key ingredients in brewing. As malt is an expensive raw material, it was natural that when enzymes produced by fermentation became commercially available on a large scale in the 1960s, both brewers and enzyme producers began developing ideas for substituting malt with unmalted raw materials and exogenous enzymes.
This work led to the development of a range of brewing solutions that offer both economic and technical benefits.
