Making Dogo Beer
edit
According to a Dogo beer company pamphlet, Dogo beer is made according to the following procedures, which are in line with the brewing practices most commonly used today:[3]
- Malt is put into hot water, and then the malt starch changes into malt sugar.
- Liquid is filtered, and made to be clear.
- Hops are added and heated up enough, at that moment the particular smell and bitter taste of beer are generated.
- Solid protein is removed and leaving a transparent liquid.
- It is cooled in a bacteria-free condition.
- Oxygen and beer yeast are added into it causing fermentation. The yeast makes sugar split into alcohol and carbonic acid.
- It is poured into some containers and aged at 0 degrees to make its taste mild.
