Last Stop Brewing in Shelbyville, KY is sure to be your new favorite spot for local beer. Our beers are carefully brewed to perfection in-house. Here is the process in a nutshell. We...
- We grind our grains and then steep them in hot water to extract the fermentable sugars
- That sugar-rich water is then sent to the boil kettle where fresh hops and ingredients are then added
- That sweet bready liquid is then boiled with hops to concentrate the liquid and add different aromas and flavors .
- The now-sweetened and hopped water (wort) is transferred to a fermenter for the introduce the yeast.
The added yeast will add particular flavors to the beer and eat away at the fermentable sugars, creating alcohol.
We let our craft beer sit for two to four weeks as the yeast does its thing. Once the yeast is done producing alcohol, the beer is then carbonated, chilled, and filled into kegs where it is served at the bar.
