INVENTOR KENNETH H. GEIGER TITLE PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HIGH EXTRACT-TO-ALCOHOL BEERS ABSTRACT In accordance with the practice of the present invention, there is disclosed a process which is useful in the production of a beer having a high unfermentable-residual-malt-extract to alcohol ratio, which process consists essentially of the steps of: preparing an all-malt wort by mashing the malt in at a temperature of between 65 to 80 degrees C; upwardly adjusting the pH of the mash to not more than about 7.0, said temperature and pH being selected so as to produce a fermentable wort having a desired degree of fermentability of substantially less than about 70%; maintaining said temperature throughout mashing; continuing to mash the malt for a time sufficient to substantially complete the conversion of the starch to fermentable and unfermentable sugars; hopping the wort to taste and kettle boiling the resulting mixture; and, fermenting the wort to completion in a fermenter. The high extract-to-alcohol beer produced by way of this process may be, inter alia, an alcohol-reduced beer in its own right, or may be readily converted into an alcohol-reduced beer by the simple expedient of diluting with water.
