3. Raw materials quality
Four elements are essential to beer quality: water, malt, hops and yeast. This chapter summarizes the quality aspects of the raw materials used in brewing and their impact on finished products.
3.1 Water
Historically located on spring water catchments, breweries could benefit from an interesting mineral potential (rich in calcium, very low chlorine content), but the variability of the mineral load over the seasons, as well as the nitrate and iron load depending on the region, could pose manufacturing problems.
