The wort analysis methods are written, for example, for wort that is produced using the Congress mash method. These methods may also be applied in the analysis of wort which has been produced using a different mash method, particularly the isothermal 65 °C method. However, the reference values listed in the analysis method for Congress wort are not transferable.
Caramel (crystal) malt and roasted malt (earlier referred to as colored malt) are considered specialty malts. Other kinds of specialty malts include smoked malt, acidulated malt, diastatic malt as well as brumalt and chit malt.
Titratable acidity is understood as the amount of 0.1 mol/l (0.1 N) NaOH required in order to bring the pH value of the wort to 7.07 (step I) and subsequently to a pH of 9.00 (step II).
