THE BREWMASTER

Birrificio Magis was born out of Nicolò Maistrello's passion for beer and its processing.

A young homebrewer who grew up in his father’s passion, Nicolò turned his hobby into a job, deepening his studies in the brewing industry at the Dieffe academy in Padua, where he earned his Craft Brewer certificate.

Nicolò’s adventure in the world of microbreweries led him in 2018 to found Birrificio Magis, a place where passion for beer combines with craftsmanship, creating unique, high-quality products
Inside the brewery, there is a dedicated retail and tasting area, from which the entire production process can be observed. This experience allows visitors to discover the care and dedication Nicolò puts into the creation of each beer.

PRODUCTION

Discover the production process.

Our beer is produced using the most traditional method, in fact, once the barley malt is ground, it is mixed with lukewarm water and then brought to higher controlled temperatures. In this way the enzymes present in the malt are used to transform the starch into simple sugars, which can then be used by the yeast for fermentation. This phase is called mashing.

Once the must is obtained, the liquid part is separated from the solid part and the must is cooked, this is in fact brought to boil, the boiling phase which serves to sterilize and concentrate the sugary portion thanks to a partial evaporation of the liquid part of the must. The duration of boiling depending on the style of beer, our beers varies from hour to hour and a half. During the boiling phase the hops are added which gives the beer its bitter and aromatic component.

When this phase is completed the must is cooled to the temperature suitable for the yeast inoculum, the must is then transferred to the fermenter and the yeast is added. Then begins the fermentation phase followed by maturation phase at temperatures between 0 and 4 ° C until we get our beer.

Once the final product is obtained the packaging phase begins which involves bottling in 33cl and 50cl bottles or in 24litre drums ready to be tapped.
