1. Remove odors and impurities
During the brewing process of beer, some odors or impurities (such as yeast byproducts, fatty acids, etc.) may be produced. Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb these undesirable substances, thereby improving the flavor and taste of beer.
2. Color adjustment
For some types of beer, undesirable colors may appear during the brewing process. Activated carbon can help remove excessive pigments and make the color of beer more uniform and clear.
3. Stability
While removing certain impurities, activated carbon can also improve the stability of beer and prevent the beer from precipitating or deteriorating during storage.
4. Filtration and clarification
Activated carbon can also be used as a filtration medium to help remove suspended matter and fine particles in beer to ensure the clarity and taste of beer.
It should be noted that when using activated carbon, the amount of it added must be controlled to avoid negatively affecting the flavor of the beer. In addition, due to the adsorption characteristics of activated carbon, improper use may adsorb some important flavor components that should have been retained, so it needs to be used with caution. In actual operation, brewers usually design a plan for using activated carbon based on specific brewing needs and flavor goals.
