Key Equations

Alcoholic Fermentation (Gay-Lussac equation):

\[C_6H_{12}O_6 \longrightarrow 2\,C_2H_5OH + 2\,CO_2\]

Monod Kinetics (microbial growth):

\[\mu = \mu_{max} \cdot \frac{S}{K_S + S}\]

where $\mu$ is the specific growth rate (1/hr), $S$ is substrate concentration (g/L), $K_S$ is the half-saturation constant, and $\mu_{max}$ is the maximum growth rate.

CPA Equation of State (for water–ethanol–CO₂ VLE):

\[P = \frac{RT}{V_m - b} - \frac{a(T)}{V_m(V_m + b)} + P_{assoc}\]

where $P_{assoc}$ accounts for hydrogen bonding between water and ethanol molecules.

Step 2 — Create the Malt Mash Feed

The brewing process starts with mashing — mixing crushed malt (barley) with hot water. The malt contains starch that will be converted to fermentable sugars by enzymes.

We model the mash as a fluid containing:

Typical mash composition for an all-grain brew (1000 L batch):

We use CPA EoS with mixing rule 10 because water, ethanol, and glycerol are all associating fluids that form hydrogen bonds.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Create the malt mash fluid
# CPA EoS at mashing temperature (65 °C) and atmospheric pressure (1.013 bara)
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
T_mash = 273.15 + 65.0   # Mashing temperature in Kelvin
P_atm  = 1.013           # Atmospheric pressure in bara

mash_fluid = SystemSrkCPAstatoil(T_mash, P_atm)

# Add components — mole fractions representing a typical mash
# Water dominates; glucose represents dissolved fermentable sugars
mash_fluid.addComponent("water",    0.90)
mash_fluid.addComponent("glucose",  0.08)   # Fermentable sugar from malt
mash_fluid.addComponent("ethanol",  0.001)  # Trace — will grow during fermentation
mash_fluid.addComponent("CO2",      0.001)  # Trace — produced during fermentation

# Set CPA mixing rule (rule 10 for associating fluids)
mash_fluid.setMixingRule(10)
mash_fluid.setMultiPhaseCheck(True)

# Run TP flash
ops = ThermodynamicOperations(mash_fluid)
ops.TPflash()
mash_fluid.initProperties()

# Display
print("=== Malt Mash Fluid ===")
print(f"EoS:         CPA (SRK-CPA)")
print(f"Temperature: {T_mash - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Pressure:    {P_atm:.3f} bara")
print(f"Phases:      {int(mash_fluid.getNumberOfPhases())}")

# Report liquid-phase density (overall density is misleading for multiphase)
n_phases = int(mash_fluid.getNumberOfPhases())
if n_phases > 1:
    liq = mash_fluid.getPhase("aqueous") if mash_fluid.hasPhaseType("aqueous") else mash_fluid.getPhase(1)
    print(f"Liquid density: {liq.getDensity('kg/m3'):.1f} kg/m³")
else:
    print(f"Density:     {mash_fluid.getDensity('kg/m3'):.1f} kg/m³")

print(f"\nComponent mole fractions:")
for i in range(int(mash_fluid.getNumberOfComponents())):
    comp = mash_fluid.getComponent(i)
    print(f"  {str(comp.getComponentName()):<12s} z = {comp.getz():.4f}")
Output ``` === Malt Mash Fluid === EoS: CPA (SRK-CPA) Temperature: 65.0 °C Pressure: 1.013 bara Phases: 2 Liquid density: 1258.4 kg/m³ Component mole fractions: water z = 0.9165 glucose z = 0.0815 ethanol z = 0.0010 CO2 z = 0.0010 ```

Step 3 — Mashing: Enzymatic Starch Conversion

Mashing is the process where enzymes in the malt convert starch into fermentable sugars. The key enzymes are:

We model this using NeqSim’s EnzymeTreatment class with:

Enzyme kinetics — Michaelis-Menten:

\[v = \frac{V_{max} \cdot [S]}{K_M + [S]}\]

where $v$ is the reaction rate, $V_{max}$ is the maximum rate, $[S]$ is substrate concentration, and $K_M$ is the Michaelis constant (~5-10 g/L for amylase).

🧪 What If? Try changing T_mash to 70 °C in the code cell below, then re-run from here. β-amylase denatures above 67 °C, so expect lower fermentable-sugar yield and a sweeter, fuller-bodied beer. Compare the pre-boil SG you get with the original 65 °C result.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Step 3: Mashing — EnzymeTreatment unit
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

# Create the feed stream
mash_feed = Stream("Mash Feed", mash_fluid)
mash_feed.setFlowRate(1000.0, "kg/hr")   # 1000 kg/hr mash (1-tonne batch/hr)
mash_feed.setTemperature(65.0, "C")
mash_feed.setPressure(1.013, "bara")
mash_feed.run()

# Create the enzyme treatment unit (mashing step)
mash_unit = EnzymeTreatment("Mash Tun", mash_feed)

# Configure the enzyme
mash_unit.setEnzymeType("amylase")
mash_unit.setEnzymeLoading(0.5)            # 0.5 mg enzyme / g substrate
mash_unit.setOptimalPH(5.3)                # Typical mash pH
mash_unit.setOptimalTemperature(273.15 + 65.0)  # Optimal temp in Kelvin
mash_unit.setEnzymeHalfLife(2.0)           # 2 hours half-life at 65 °C

# Reactor conditions
mash_unit.setReactorTemperature(65.0, "C")
mash_unit.setVesselVolume(2.0)             # 2 m³ mash tun
mash_unit.setResidenceTime(1.0, "hr")      # 60-minute mash rest
mash_unit.setAgitatorPowerPerVolume(0.3)   # Gentle agitation (kW/m³)
mash_unit.setIsothermal(True)

# Run the mashing step
mash_unit.run()

# Results
mash_out = mash_unit.getOutletStream()
print("=== MASHING (Enzyme Treatment) ===")
print(f"Enzyme type:        {mash_unit.getEnzymeType()}")
print(f"Enzyme loading:     {mash_unit.getEnzymeLoading():.1f} mg/g substrate")
print(f"Relative activity:  {mash_unit.getRelativeActivity():.2f}")
print(f"Temperature:        {mash_unit.getReactorTemperature() - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Residence time:     {mash_unit.getResidenceTime():.1f} hr")
print(f"Vessel volume:      {mash_unit.getVesselVolume():.1f} m³")
print(f"Agitator power:     {mash_unit.getAgitatorPower():.2f} kW")
print(f"Outlet temp:        {mash_out.getTemperature() - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Outlet flow:        {mash_out.getFlowRate('kg/hr'):.0f} kg/hr")
Output ``` === MASHING (Enzyme Treatment) === Enzyme type: amylase Enzyme loading: 0.5 mg/g substrate Relative activity: 1.00 Temperature: 65.0 °C Residence time: 1.0 hr Vessel volume: 2.0 m³ Agitator power: 0.60 kW Outlet temp: 65.0 °C Outlet flow: 1000 kg/hr ```

Step 4 — Lautering: Separating Grain from Wort

Lautering separates the liquid wort (sugar-rich solution) from the spent grain solids. We model this with a SolidsSeparator.

In practice, the mash is transferred to a lauter tun where:

We use setSolidsSplitFraction() to control how much of each component goes to the solids stream vs. the liquid wort stream.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Step 4: Lautering — SolidsSeparator
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

lauter = SolidsSeparator("Lauter Tun", mash_out)

# Set default: most components stay in liquid (low solids split)
lauter.setDefaultSolidsSplit(0.05)  # 5% of everything goes to spent grain

# Glucose stays in the wort (good extraction)
lauter.setSolidsSplitFraction("glucose", 0.02)   # Only 2% glucose lost to grain
lauter.setSolidsSplitFraction("water", 0.10)     # 10% water retained in grain
lauter.setSolidsSplitFraction("ethanol", 0.01)   # Almost all ethanol stays in wort
lauter.setSolidsSplitFraction("CO2", 0.01)

# Moisture content of spent grain
lauter.setMoistureContent(0.75)  # Spent grain is ~75% moisture
lauter.setPressureDrop(0.01)     # Minimal pressure drop

lauter.run()

# Get the separated streams
wort = lauter.getLiquidOutStream()
spent_grain = lauter.getSolidsOutStream()

print("=== LAUTERING (Solid-Liquid Separation) ===")
print(f"{'Stream':<16} {'T [°C]':>8} {'Flow [kg/hr]':>14}")
print("-" * 42)
print(f"{'Wort (liquid)':<16} {wort.getTemperature() - 273.15:>8.1f} {wort.getFlowRate('kg/hr'):>14.0f}")
print(f"{'Spent Grain':<16} {spent_grain.getTemperature() - 273.15:>8.1f} {spent_grain.getFlowRate('kg/hr'):>14.0f}")
print(f"\nPower consumption: {lauter.getPowerConsumption():.2f} kW")
Output ``` === LAUTERING (Solid-Liquid Separation) === Stream T [°C] Flow [kg/hr] ------------------------------------------ Wort (liquid) 65.0 938 Spent Grain 65.0 62 Power consumption: 7.21 kW ```

Step 5 — Wort Boiling

The wort is boiled vigorously for 60 minutes at 100 °C to:

  1. Sterilize — kill wild yeast and bacteria
  2. Isomerize hop acids — add bitterness (IBUs)
  3. Drive off DMS — remove dimethyl sulfide (off-flavour)
  4. Concentrate — evaporate ~10% of the volume
  5. Denature enzymes — stop further starch conversion

We model this as a Heater that raises the wort temperature to 100 °C.

Energy requirement for boiling (approximate):

\[Q = m \cdot c_p \cdot \Delta T + m_{evap} \cdot \Delta H_{vap}\]

where $\Delta H_{vap}$ ≈ 2257 kJ/kg for water at 100 °C.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Step 5: Wort Boiling — Heater to 100 °C
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

boil_kettle = Heater("Boil Kettle", wort)
boil_kettle.setOutletTemperature(273.15 + 100.0)  # 100 °C (boiling)
boil_kettle.run()

boil_out = boil_kettle.getOutletStream()

print("=== WORT BOILING ===")
print(f"Inlet temperature:  {wort.getTemperature() - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Outlet temperature: {boil_out.getTemperature() - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Heat duty:          {boil_kettle.getDuty() / 1e3:.1f} kW")
print(f"Outlet flow:        {boil_out.getFlowRate('kg/hr'):.0f} kg/hr")
print(f"Outlet pressure:    {boil_out.getPressure():.3f} bara")
Output ``` === WORT BOILING === Inlet temperature: 65.0 °C Outlet temperature: 100.0 °C Heat duty: 33.0 kW Outlet flow: 938 kg/hr Outlet pressure: 1.003 bara ```

Step 6 — Wort Cooling (Pre-Fermentation)

Before pitching yeast, the hot wort must be cooled rapidly to fermentation temperature (18–22 °C for ales, 8–14 °C for lagers).

We cool to 20 °C for an ale fermentation. Rapid cooling also:

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Step 6: Wort Cooling — Cooler to fermentation temperature
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

wort_cooler = Cooler("Wort Chiller", boil_out)
wort_cooler.setOutletTemperature(273.15 + 20.0)  # 20 °C for ale fermentation
wort_cooler.run()

chilled_wort = wort_cooler.getOutletStream()

print("=== WORT COOLING ===")
print(f"Inlet temperature:  {boil_out.getTemperature() - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Outlet temperature: {chilled_wort.getTemperature() - 273.15:.1f} °C")
print(f"Cooling duty:       {wort_cooler.getDuty() / 1e3:.1f} kW")
print(f"Temperature drop:   {(boil_out.getTemperature() - chilled_wort.getTemperature()):.1f} K")
Output ``` === WORT COOLING === Inlet temperature: 100.0 °C Outlet temperature: 20.0 °C Cooling duty: -62.6 kW Temperature drop: 80.0 K ```

Step 7 — Fermentation: The Heart of Brewing

This is where the magic happens. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer’s yeast) converts glucose into ethanol and CO₂ through anaerobic fermentation.

Reaction Stoichiometry

\[C_6H_{12}O_6 \longrightarrow 2\,C_2H_5OH + 2\,CO_2\]

Monod Growth Kinetics

The yeast follows Monod kinetics for substrate-limited growth:

\[\mu = \mu_{max} \cdot \frac{S}{K_S + S}\]

Typical parameters for S. cerevisiae at 20 °C:

NeqSim Fermenter Setup

We configure the Fermenter with:

🧪 What If? Set T_ferm = 25.0 (°C) in the fermentation code cell and re-run. Higher fermentation temperatures accelerate yeast metabolism but produce more esters (banana, pear) and fusel alcohols — great for Belgian styles, but off-putting in a clean IPA. Watch how the Monod growth rate $\mu_{max}$ would need to increase by ~50% to match real yeast behaviour at 25 °C.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Step 7: Fermentation — Fermenter with stoichiometric reaction
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

# Define the alcoholic fermentation reaction:
# C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2
fermentation_rxn = StoichiometricReaction("Alcoholic Fermentation")
fermentation_rxn.addReactant("glucose", 1.0)    # 1 mol glucose consumed
fermentation_rxn.addProduct("ethanol", 2.0)     # 2 mol ethanol produced
fermentation_rxn.addProduct("CO2", 2.0)         # 2 mol CO2 produced
fermentation_rxn.setLimitingReactant("glucose")
fermentation_rxn.setConversion(0.90)            # 90% glucose conversion

print("Fermentation reaction defined:")
print(f"  {fermentation_rxn}")
print(f"  Limiting reactant: {fermentation_rxn.getLimitingReactant()}")
print(f"  Conversion: {fermentation_rxn.getConversion() * 100:.0f}%")
Output ``` Fermentation reaction defined: Reaction: Alcoholic Fermentation | glucose -> 2.0 ethanol + 2.0 CO2 | X=0.9 (limiting: glucose) Limiting reactant: glucose Conversion: 90% ``` 
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Create and configure the Fermenter
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

fermenter = Fermenter("Fermentation Vessel", chilled_wort)

# Add the fermentation reaction
fermenter.addReaction(fermentation_rxn)

# Fermentation conditions
fermenter.setAerobic(False)                    # Anaerobic fermentation

Step 8 — Cold Conditioning (Lagering)

After primary fermentation, the green beer is cooled to near freezing for conditioning (also called lagering or cold crashing):

This is modelled as a simple Cooler operation.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Step 8: Cold Conditioning — Cooler to 2 °C
# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Step 9 — Full ProcessSystem: Wiring It All Together

Now we assemble the complete brewing process into a single ProcessSystem that can be run as a unified flowsheet. This is the NeqSim way of building a complete process simulation.

Process flow:

Feed → Mash Tun → Lauter Tun → Boil Kettle → Wort Chiller → Fermenter → Conditioning Tank

Step 12 — Sensitivity Analysis: Fermentation Temperature

A key brewing decision is fermentation temperature. Higher temperatures produce more fruity esters (banana, apple) but also more fusel alcohols. Lower temperatures give a cleaner profile but slower fermentation.

Let’s vary the fermentation temperature from 15 °C to 28 °C and observe how the outlet conditions change. We rebuild and re-run the process for each case.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

    out_fluid = out.getFluid()
    out_fluid.initProperties()
    # Use liquid-phase density for meaningful beer density values
    n_ph = int(out_fluid.getNumberOfPhases())
    if n_ph > 1:
        liq = out_fluid.getPhase("aqueous") if out_fluid.hasPhaseType("aqueous") else out_fluid.getPhase(1)
        results_temp['outlet_density'].append(float(liq.getDensity("kg/m3")))
    else:

Step 13b — Mash Temperature vs Fermentability

Mash temperature is arguably the most important variable a brewer controls. It determines the balance between two competing enzymes:

Enzyme Optimal Range Product Effect on Beer
β-amylase 60–65 °C Maltose (fermentable) Dry, high attenuation
α-amylase 68–72 °C Dextrins (unfermentable) Sweet, full body

At 64 °C (our recipe), β-amylase dominates → more fermentable sugars → dry beer. At 70 °C, α-amylase dominates → more dextrins → sweeter, fuller beer.

We sweep the mash temperature from 58 to 74 °C and observe how NeqSim’s EnzymeTreatment reports enzyme activity. This models the well-known brewer’s rule: lower mash = drier beer, higher mash = sweeter beer.

🧪 What If? After running the sweep, go back to Step 3 and set T_mash = 72.0 (°C). Re-run the full process. You should see a higher FG (more residual sugars) and lower ABV. This is exactly how brewers craft sweet stouts and malty Scottish ales.

Step 14 — VLE Analysis: CO₂ Solubility in Beer

A crucial property for beer quality is CO₂ solubility — how much dissolved CO₂ remains in the liquid phase at different temperatures and pressures. This determines carbonation level (measured in volumes of CO₂).

The CPA equation of state gives us accurate VLE predictions for the water–ethanol–CO₂ system including the effects of hydrogen bonding.

Carbonation levels (volumes of CO₂ at STP per volume of beer):

🧪 What If? In the code cell below, change x_co2 from 0.01 to 0.15 (simulating forced carbonation at high pressure). How does the equilibrium pressure change? At what temperature would this beer gush out of the bottle? Also try reducing ethanol mole fraction to simulate a session beer — does CO₂ solubility increase or decrease?

Step 14b — Electrolyte CPA: Beer pH from CO2 Dissolution

Beer pH is a critical quality parameter. During fermentation, CO2 dissolves in water and forms carbonic acid which dissociates:

\[\text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_2\text{CO}_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{H}^+ + \text{HCO}_3^-\]

NeqSim’s electrolyte CPA (SystemElectrolyteCPAstatoil) can model this with thermodynamically consistent chemical equilibrium. The chemicalReactionInit() method automatically adds the water dissociation and CO2 hydration reactions, along with the required ions (H3O+, OH-, HCO3-, CO3–).

This gives us a first-principles pH prediction — not a target, but a genuine thermodynamic calculation from the fluid composition.

Typical beer pH values:

Note: This model captures CO2-carbonate equilibrium only. The full pH model including organic acids (lactic, acetic, succinic, citric) is developed in Step 14d below using Henderson-Hasselbalch coupled with Monod kinetics.

Step 14c — Water Chemistry: Brewing Salts and Mash pH

Water is the largest ingredient in beer (~95%), and its mineral content profoundly affects mash pH, enzyme activity, and flavour perception.

Key Brewing Ions

Ion Source Effect
Ca²⁺ CaCl₂, CaSO₄ Lowers mash pH, aids enzyme activity and yeast health
Mg²⁺ MgSO₄ (Epsom salt) Yeast nutrient, slight sourness at high levels
Na⁺ NaCl Rounds out maltiness, harsh above 150 ppm
Cl⁻ CaCl₂, NaCl Enhances malt sweetness and fullness
SO₄²⁻ CaSO₄ (gypsum) Enhances hop bitterness and crispness
HCO₃⁻ NaHCO₃ Raises pH (alkalinity), needed for dark malts

The Chloride-to-Sulfate Ratio

This is a brewer’s key parameter for style targeting:

Residual Alkalinity (RA)

The Kolbach formula predicts mash pH from water minerals:

\[RA = \text{Alkalinity} - \frac{[\text{Ca}^{2+}]}{1.4} - \frac{[\text{Mg}^{2+}]}{1.7}\]

Higher RA → higher mash pH. Dark malts need high RA water; pale malts need low RA.

We can model this with NeqSim’s electrolyte CPA by adding actual brewing salt ions to the aqueous system:

Step 14d — Organic Acid Production and Beer pH During Fermentation

The electrolyte CPA model above captures CO₂-carbonate equilibrium, but finished beer pH (3.8–4.5) is driven primarily by organic acid production during fermentation:

Acid pKa Concentration in beer Origin
Lactic acid 3.86 50–300 mg/L Yeast by-product, LAB contamination
Acetic acid 4.76 30–200 mg/L Yeast acetyl-CoA overflow
Succinic acid 4.21 / 5.64 500–1500 mg/L TCA cycle intermediate
Citric acid 3.13 / 4.76 / 6.40 50–200 mg/L TCA cycle

Why Does pH Drop During Fermentation?

  1. CO₂ dissolution → carbonic acid → pH drops from 5.3 to ~4.8
  2. Organic acids secreted by yeast → pH drops further to ~4.2
  3. Amino acid uptake releases H⁺ → additional pH decrease
  4. Buffer capacity of wort (phosphate, melanoidins) resists but is overwhelmed

Modeling Approach

We couple the Monod kinetics ODE with organic acid production, then calculate pH at each time step using Henderson-Hasselbalch and the wort’s buffer capacity. We also verify with NeqSim’s electrolyte CPA using acetic acid (which is in the component database).

System of ODEs

\[\frac{dX}{dt} = \mu \cdot X - k_d \cdot X\] \[\frac{dS}{dt} = -\frac{\mu \cdot X}{Y_{X/S}} - m_s \cdot X\] \[\frac{dP}{dt} = Y_{P/S} \cdot \frac{\mu \cdot X}{Y_{X/S}}\]

Step 16b — Multi-Sugar Fermentation: Sequential Uptake

Real wort contains multiple sugars, not just glucose. A typical ale wort composition:

Sugar Typical % of extract MW (g/mol) Fermentable?
Maltose 40–50% 342.30 Yes (dominant)
Maltotriose 10–15% 504.44 Yes (slow)
Glucose 8–15% 180.16 Yes (fast)
Fructose 1–3% 180.16 Yes (fast)
Sucrose 2–5% 342.30 Yes (inverted first)
Dextrins 20–30% — No (unfermentable)

Catabolite Repression (Diauxic Lag)

Yeast preferentially consumes sugars in this order:

  1. Glucose + Fructose — taken up first through constitutive transporters
  2. Sucrose — inverted to glucose + fructose by invertase
  3. Maltose — requires maltose permease (repressed while glucose is present)
  4. Maltotriose — slowest uptake, requires specific transporter

This creates a characteristic staircase fermentation curve with brief diauxic lags between sugar phases as yeast induces new transport enzymes.

We model this with a multi-substrate Monod system using competitive inhibition to capture glucose repression of maltose uptake.

Process Simulation Checkpoint

The core beer brewing process simulation is now complete. Before moving on to advanced topics (ABV from first principles, hop IBU, and the full NEIPA recipe), here’s a recap of the NeqSim ProcessSystem we built:

Step Equipment NeqSim Class Key Parameters
1 Mashing EnzymeTreatment amylase, 65 °C, 1 hr
2 Lautering SolidsSeparator 95% liquid recovery
3 Boiling Heater 100 °C
4 Wort Cooling Cooler 20 °C
5 Fermentation Fermenter glucose→ethanol+CO₂, 90% conversion
6 Conditioning Cooler 2 °C

Key Takeaways So Far

  1. CPA EoS (mixing rule 10) accurately models the associating water–ethanol–CO₂ system
  2. Monod kinetics with ethanol inhibition captures the S-shaped fermentation curve
  3. CO₂ solubility increases at lower temperatures — essential for beer carbonation
  4. Energy balance reveals that wort boiling dominates the heating duty
  5. The complete brewery process can be built, run, and analyzed as a single ProcessSystem
  6. Multi-sugar fermentation with catabolite repression reproduces realistic sequential uptake
  7. Organic acid pH drops from 5.3 to ~4.4 during fermentation via Henderson-Hasselbalch

\[C_6H_{12}O_6 \longrightarrow 2\,C_2H_5OH + 2\,CO_2\]

1 mol glucose (180.16 g) produces 2 mol ethanol (92.14 g). So:

\[\text{Ethanol mass per gram of sugar consumed} = \frac{92.14}{180.16} = 0.5114\]

Part B — The Density Puzzle

$(OG - FG)$ is not equal to the sugar consumed per litre. When sugar converts to ethanol + CO₂:

The gravity drop is therefore amplified relative to the true extract consumed. Balling’s formula corrects for this:

\[RE = 0.1808 \times OE + 0.8192 \times AE\]

where $OE$ and $AE$ are the original and apparent (final) extracts in °Plato.

Part C — Gosset’s ABV Formula (ASBC standard)

Combining stoichiometry, density correction, and volume conversion:

\[ABV = \frac{76.08 \times (OG - FG)}{1.775 - OG} \times \frac{FG}{0.794}\]

For typical ale gravities this simplifies to $\approx (OG - FG) \times 131.25$.

Part D — Why CPA Can Do Better

The simple formula assumes ideal mixing of ethanol and water. But ethanol and water form hydrogen bonds that cause the mixture volume to contract by up to 3.5%. The CPA EoS captures this explicitly through its association term—giving a more accurate beer density and therefore a more accurate ABV.

# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# ABV: Three Methods Compared
#   1. Simple brewer's rule  → (OG-FG) × 131.25
#   2. Gosset / ASBC formula → accounts for ethanol density
#   3. CPA EoS               → accounts for non-ideal mixing

Step 18 — Hop Isomerization Kinetics: Predicting IBU

International Bitterness Units (IBU) measure the concentration of iso-α-acids in beer. During boiling, hop α-acids undergo isomerization — a first-order thermal reaction:

\[\text{α-acid} \xrightarrow{k(T)} \text{iso-α-acid}\]

Tinseth Model (1997)

The most widely used homebrewing IBU formula:

\[IBU = \frac{\alpha\% \times W_{hops} \times 1000 \times U}{V_{wort} \times C_{gravity}}\]

where utilization $U$ depends on gravity and boil time:

\[f_{bigness} = 1.65 \times 0.000125^{(SG - 1)}\] \[f_{time} = \frac{1 - e^{-0.04 \times t}}{4.15}\] \[U = f_{bigness} \times f_{time}\]

Beyond Tinseth: Temperature-Dependent Kinetics

The Tinseth model assumes a constant 100°C boil. But hopstand/whirlpool additions (80–90°C) isomerize more slowly. The Arrhenius equation gives the temperature dependence:

\[k(T) = A \cdot e^{-E_a / RT}\]

with $E_a \approx 110$ kJ/mol for α-acid isomerization.

We model the G.O.D.S. NEIPA hop schedule including boil, hopstand, and dry hop contributions.

Brewing Science Behind the Numbers

OG 1.068 corresponds to approximately 166 g/L of dissolved extract. The apparent attenuation from OG 1.068 to FG 1.011:

\[\text{Apparent Attenuation} = \frac{\text{OG} - \text{FG}}{\text{OG} - 1} = \frac{1.068 - 1.011}{1.068 - 1} = 83.8\%\] \[\text{ABV} = (\text{OG} - \text{FG}) \times 131.25 = (1.068 - 1.011) \times 131.25 = 7.48\%\]

The Grainfather G30v3 heating power (2000 W) determines ramp-up time:

\[t_{heat} = \frac{m \cdot c_p \cdot \Delta T}{P} = \frac{25 \times 4.18 \times \Delta T}{2.0} \text{ seconds}\]

For mash-out (64 to 75 deg.C): $t_{heat} = \frac{25 \times 4.18 \times 11}{2.0}$ = 575 s = 9.6 min

Step A: NeqSim Thermodynamic Model of G.O.D.S. NEIPA Wort

We create a CPA fluid representing the wort at mash temperature (64 deg.C saccharification rest in the Grainfather G30v3). The mole fractions are calculated from OG 1.068:

The glucose mole fraction is estimated from the extract concentration:

\[x_{glucose} = \frac{c_{extract} / M_{glucose}}{c_{extract} / M_{glucose} + c_{water} / M_{water}}\]

where $c_{extract}$ = 166 g/L, $M_{glucose}$ = 180 g/mol, $c_{water}$ = 834 g/L, $M_{water}$ = 18 g/mol.

# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# Step A — Create NEIPA wort fluid from recipe OG
# Grainfather G30v3 at saccharification rest (64 deg C)
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

# Calculate mole fractions from OG extract concentration
extract_gL = extract_OG_gL       # ~166 g/L glucose equivalent
water_gL   = (1000.0 * OG) - extract_gL   # remaining mass is water

# Moles per liter
n_glucose = extract_gL / 180.14    # MW glucose
n_water   = water_gL   / 18.015    # MW water
n_total   = n_glucose + n_water

x_glucose = n_glucose / n_total
x_water   = n_water   / n_total

print(f"Wort composition from OG {OG}:")
print(f"  Extract:  {extract_gL:.1f} g/L  ->  {n_glucose:.3f} mol/L  ->  x = {x_glucose:.4f}")
print(f"  Water:    {water_gL:.1f} g/L  ->  {n_water:.3f} mol/L  ->  x = {x_water:.4f}")

# Create CPA fluid at saccharification temperature (64 deg C) and atmospheric pressure
T_mash_K = 273.15 + T_mash_sacc   # 64 deg C in Kelvin

Step B: Full G.O.D.S. NEIPA Brewery Process (Grainfather G30v3)

Build the complete NEIPA brewing process as a NeqSim ProcessSystem, modeled on the Grainfather G30v3 workflow:

  1. Mashing (EnzymeTreatment) — 64 deg.C for 75 min + 75 deg.C mash-out 15 min (step mash)
  2. Lautering (SolidsSeparator) — Lift grain basket, sparge with 9.5 L at 75 deg.C
  3. Wort Boiling (Heater) — 100 deg.C, 60 min, 2000W element (Columbus 7g @ 60 min)
  4. Hopstand — 85 deg.C, 20 min (Citra 70g + Mosaic 35g)
  5. Wort Cooling (Cooler) — Counter-flow chiller to 19 deg.C (~10 min)
  6. Fermentation (Fermenter) — 14 days at 19 deg.C with 2x US-05, 90% conversion
  7. Dry Hopping — Citra 90g (6 days) + Mosaic 45g + Galaxy 30g (3 days)
  8. Cold Conditioning (Cooler) — 2 deg.C cold crash

Note: NEIPAs are intentionally hazy — the cold crash mainly drops yeast, not haze. The 51.9% wheat/oat adjuncts and 165g dry hops ensure permanent haze.

Step F: CO₂ Solubility in G.O.D.S. NEIPA — Carbonation Analysis

For a NEIPA, carbonation is typically 2.2–2.7 volumes CO₂ (moderate to high). Using the CPA equation of state, we can predict how much CO₂ dissolves in the beer at different temperatures — crucial for determining:

  1. How much CO₂ is lost during warm fermentation (19°C)
  2. How much CO₂ is retained during cold conditioning (2°C)
  3. The optimal carbonation temperature and pressure

Henry’s Law gives us the baseline, but the CPA EoS captures the non-ideal interactions between CO₂, water, and ethanol more accurately.

\[\text{Volumes CO}_2 = \frac{V_{CO_2}(\text{STP})}{V_{beer}} = \frac{n_{CO_2} \cdot 22.4 \text{ L/mol}}{V_{beer}}\]

Key Equipment Insights (Grainfather G30v3)

CPA Parameter Fitting: Glucose

Glucose’s CPA parameters in NeqSim’s extended database (COMP_EXT.csv) were originally copies of water’s — these have now been fitted against experimental aqueous glucose density data (10-50 wt%, 25 C) using Nelder-Mead optimization.

Parameter Water Glucose (fitted) Unit
aCPA (SRK) 12,277 120,564 Pa m6/mol2
bCPA (SRK) 1.4515 8.196 10-5 m3/mol
mCPA 0.674 2.407 -
Assoc. energy 16,655 20,000 J/mol
Assoc. volume 0.0692 0.015 -
Sites/scheme 4 / 4C 4 / 4C -

Validation: density errors less than 3% across 10-50 wt% glucose at 25 C.

Suggestions for Future Work

1. Glycol Cooling System

Model the glycol cooling loop for fermentation temperature control as a heat exchanger network rather than a simple Cooler. This would allow realistic energy balance calculations for homebrewery glycol systems.

2. Yeast Flocculation and Sedimentation

Model yeast cell settling during cold conditioning using Stokes’ law and flocculation kinetics. This affects final beer clarity and the amount of yeast available for bottle conditioning.

3. Hop Flavour Wheel (Biotransformation)

During dry hopping, yeast biotransforms hop monoterpene alcohols (linalool, geraniol) into more flavour-active esters. An ODE model could predict biotransformation yields as a function of yeast viability and contact time.

4. Maillard Reaction Kinetics During Boiling

Model colour development (SRM/EBC) during the 60-minute boil using Arrhenius-type Maillard reaction kinetics between reducing sugars and amino acids.

5. Full COMP_EXT Database Extension

Fit CPA parameters for maltose, maltotriose, and ethanol against literature density/VLE data (analogous to the glucose fitting shown above) to improve multi-sugar phase equilibrium predictions.
