For the first time in the history of brewing, the industry has a standard, validated, and approved method to prepare malt samples for sensory evaluation: The ASBC Hot Steep Method. This rapid wort production method is fast, affordable, and simple enough to allow all members of the supply chain to perceive and understand malt flavor in the same medium. Learn how to perform the Hot Steep Method in your own brewery, discover its applications for your raw material sensory program and listen to the latest information on how the Hot Steep Method is being used to advance malt sensory research and understanding amongst all members of the brewing industry.
