Towards the integration of sorghum as an adjunct in the modern brewery industry. A review. Despite the relatively recent use of sorghum in brewing, the accumulated information from studies on the use of this cereal in malting and brewing is far from basic; the biochemistry of sorghum malting consolidates this knowledge. Despite the interest accorded to demonstrating the use of sorghum in brewing, the possibilities and limitations of using this cereal in the modern malting and brewing industries have not yet been fully elucidated. Furthermore, all the transformations involved in these processes are far from being completely understood. This review provides a wealth of knowledge on the properties of sorghum, which is of interest to both the maltster and the brewer, such as: grain composition, malted grain biochemistry and physiology, brewing and fermentation of sorghum, etc. The progress and difficulties encountered during sorghum malting are presented in a way that will be helpful to the brewer.
