What is included in the kvass concentrate. Kvass wort: what is it and how to prepare it? What it is

Kvass wort concentrate made from rye or barley malt, which, depending on the technology, can be fermented. In addition to malt, flour from rye or corn is added to the concentrate. The finished product has a thick, viscous, homogeneous consistency, is colored in a dark brown, almost black color, and in its specific smell you can catch the aromas of beer and rye bread.

From the concentrate of kvass wort, without unnecessary manipulations with the preparation of dry kvass, without draining from the sediment and straining, you can make delicious homemade kvass. To prepare two liters of kvass, 4 tablespoons of the concentrate must be diluted in warm (35-40 degrees) water, add half a glass of sugar and yeast - 3 grams. You cannot take active dry yeast, only pressed yeast is needed. This refreshing drink is infused for about a day in a warm place, and after that you can drink it, mix it with sugar or honey, or make okroshka out of it.

Of course, the differences are taste from kvass cooked on a dry kvass mixture, or on rye breadcrumbs. But if we take into account the ease of the process, then such little things can be omitted. In addition to traditional use, kvass wort concentrate can be added to the leavened leaven every time before pouring a new portion of the drink, replacing one spoonful of dry kvass with two tablespoons of wort.

Benefits of kvass wort concentrate

The most important benefit of kvass from kvass wort concentrate is the presence of almost all B vitamins, which prevent aging, make the skin, hair and nails beautiful, strong and healthy.

Harm and contraindications

Because of natural process fermentation in kvass, alcohol is formed from the concentrate and acetic acid which are harmful to health in excessive quantities.

Kvass wort concentrate rich in vitamins and minerals such as: vitamin B1 - 12%, choline - 12%, vitamin PP - 11.5%, silicon - 18.3%, magnesium - 12.3%, phosphorus - 19.6%, chlorine - 39.1%, iron - 21.7%, cobalt - 20%, manganese - 60%, copper - 18.3%

Why is kvass wort concentrate useful?

  • Vitamin B1 is part of the most important enzymes of carbohydrate and energy metabolism, which provide the body with energy and plastic substances, as well as the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids. Lack of this vitamin leads to serious disorders of the nervous, digestive and cardiovascular systems.
  • Choline is a part of lecithin, plays a role in the synthesis and metabolism of phospholipids in the liver, is a source of free methyl groups, acts as a lipotropic factor.
  • Vitamin PP participates in redox reactions of energy metabolism. Insufficient vitamin intake is accompanied by disruption of the normal state of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
  • Silicon is a structural component of glycosaminoglycans and stimulates collagen synthesis.
  • Magnesium participates in energy metabolism, synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, has a stabilizing effect on membranes, is necessary to maintain homeostasis of calcium, potassium and sodium. Lack of magnesium leads to hypomagnesemia, an increased risk of developing hypertension, heart disease.
  • Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates acid-base balance, is a part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, is necessary for the mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, rickets.
  • Chlorine necessary for the formation and secretion of hydrochloric acid in the body.
  • Iron is a part of proteins of various functions, including enzymes. Participates in the transport of electrons, oxygen, ensures the course of redox reactions and activation of peroxidation. Insufficient consumption leads to hypochromic anemia, myoglobin-deficient skeletal muscle atony, increased fatigue, myocardiopathy, and atrophic gastritis.
  • Cobalt is part of vitamin B12. Activates enzymes of fatty acid metabolism and folic acid metabolism.
  • Manganese participates in the formation of bone and connective tissue, is part of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, catecholamines; essential for the synthesis of cholesterol and nucleotides. Insufficient consumption is accompanied by a slowdown in growth, disorders in the reproductive system, increased fragility of bone tissue, disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
  • Copper is a part of enzymes with redox activity and involved in iron metabolism, stimulates the assimilation of proteins and carbohydrates. Participates in the processes of providing the tissues of the human body with oxygen. The deficiency is manifested by disorders in the formation of the cardiovascular system and skeleton, the development of connective tissue dysplasia.

How do you want to enjoy a sip of fresh cold kvass on a hot summer day! But a list of chemicals on the label of store products can stop even a highly thirsty person. Anyone who does not want to poison his body with swill with preservatives can purchase kvass wort. What it is is worth learning more closely.

Kvass wort: composition

The composition of kvass wort concentrates sold in stores ( KKS ) includes the following ingredients:

  • Rye flour;
  • Rye malt with the addition of catalysts of biological origin;
  • Corn flour;
  • Barley malt.

In rare cases, sugar and citric acid are added. Carbohydrates make up 65% of the mass fraction of the product. The content of proteins and organic acids is minimal and fluctuates around 2-3%.

Natural CCS from renowned manufacturers is a viscous liquid with a high density. The taste is noticeable sweet and sour notes, occasionally with shades of bitterness. The smell of the fresh substance is pleasant, "bready".

The area of ​​wort application in most cases is limited to the preparation of homemade kvass drink. But its range of use cases is much wider. So, the concentrate will not be superfluous when preparing homemade buns and pies.

Beer from kvass wort at home

The algorithm for making homemade beer based on store-bought KKS is as follows:

  1. Put on the gas a large enamel container filled to capacity with water;
  2. When the water boils, the fire must be reduced. Add wort, hops and sugar to a saucepan;
  3. As soon as the mixture boils, turn off the fire and put the container to cool;
  4. After the temperature of the liquid equals room temperature, yeast should be added;
  5. Cover the pan with a lid and let the drink ferment for 72 hours. If held for less time, the degree of the beer will be quite low;

The shelf life of kvass is also no more than three to four days, so it is not recommended to cook it for future use. In industrial production, various preservatives are used, but the taste of such kvass loses to the live one.

However, this drink can serve as a wonderful raw material for brewing beer.

Classic kvass beer recipe

The classic beer recipe is malt, hops and water. Since kvass requires malt from sprouted grains, it can also be used to make excellent beer.


Before making beer from kvass, you should purchase kvass malt or cook it yourself. You can take ready-made homemade kvass and use it as a raw material.

Pour the drink into an enamel pot or any other container, add a little hops and put on fire. Cook the mixture for at least 2 hours over very low heat.

After that, hot kvass with hops should be removed from the stove and cooled to 30 degrees. In a separate bowl, mix a little yeast with water - you don't have to add sugar, since kvass already has its own sweetness.

When the kvass mixture has cooled, pour yeast into it, stir and leave warm for 3 days.

Fermentation lasts about 3 days - during this time the yeast should precipitate. Strain the drink through cheesecloth, pour into bottles and close tightly. Leave the beer for fermentation in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. After this time, you can taste excellent home-brewed beer.

Beer is a drink that our ancestors began to make a long time ago. Previously, children could drink it, because it was not considered an alcoholic and unhealthy drink. The production of kvass and beer itself has a lot in common: the use of almost identical ingredients, almost the same technological process. Even at home, it is very easy to make excellent drinks, which include beer with kvass wort. Beer has one special aspect of brewing - it must be made with quality wort that can be made at home. It is an absolutely natural product with a viscous structure and a sour-sweet taste. The dry matter content should be around 70%.

Wort is a concentrate used to make beer and kvass. It is also widespread in the confectionery and winemaking industries. Now it's enough to just go to the store and buy dry mixes for kvass, or a can of ready-made wort, and even whole sets consisting of all sorts of bags - just mix and you're done. These are semi-finished powders, developed according to certain formulations and technologies, approved in a special order. But if you really want to make it worthwhile homemade drink, which will be better than any dry mixes - you will have to tinker a considerable amount of time.

How to make leavened wort?

To make kvass wort, you need rye and barley malt. Both ingredients need to be chopped and mixed with water. Further, for several hours, this composition must be boiled. When exposed to high temperatures, malt breaks down into sugars. The resulting liquid should be evaporated in special vacuum chambers.

The finished wort contains such useful material, like: amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, macro- and microelements. Therefore, it can be used not only in brewing, but also in the bakery industry. After all, the wort improves the aroma of the product and prolongs its shelf life and sale. Also, the use of this concentrate increases gas formation in the dough.

As for the malt itself, it can be obtained as follows. To begin with, barley grains need

rinse thoroughly in warm water and soak in cool. The water must be changed to clean water several times a day. After two to three days, the first shoots will appear. Then you need to place the grains between two layers of cheesecloth in a baking sheet, or shallow big plate... The top layer must be abundantly saturated with water, and the grains must be constantly swayed and moved. Next, you need to leave them to germinate at room temperature. After the sprouts reach the grain size, it is worth stopping the germination.

The next step is drying. You need to dry the grains for about 20 hours at a temperature of 45-50 degrees. This is how you get the finished malt. If you expect that the drink will have a light color, then you just need to grind the grains, but if you want a darker, red color of the drink, then you need to fry the grains until darkening, then grind them to a coffee grinder and use them boldly.

How to make beer with leavened wort?

Let's now move on to the kvass wort beer recipe. This is a very simple recipe as you don't even have to brew the beer. All you need:

  • Hops - 2 tablespoons;
  • Water - 10 liters.

Next, cover the pan with a lid and let it cool in a cool place. After the drink has cooled to room temperature, yeast must be added to it, mixed thoroughly and left for several

hours for the mass to begin to ferment.

The most optimal amount of time for good fermentation and maturation of the beer concentration is three days. It is then that the yeast completely precipitates to the bottom of the pan. You can taste the beer before, but then it will still be very weak and almost alcohol-free. After three or more days, you need to gently strain the liquid through a gauze cloth so that finished form the beer had no sediment. Pour into bottles and close very tightly. In order for the yeast to finally ferment, and the beer acquired a richer taste, you need to leave it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for about two weeks. After some time, you will get a dark beer that has an amazing aroma and is easy to drink.

There is another recipe for beer based on kvass wort. The technology for its preparation is identical to the previous one, but there is one difference - the use of a special mixture of bran instead of yeast. This mixture is presented in the form of a powder, which can be prepared in several stages:

  1. Pouring bran with warm water and stirring thoroughly.
  2. Infusion of bran for about a day.
  3. Adding four tablespoons of the same mixture and re-infusing it.
