Brewing industry is one of the most progressive and dynamically developing areas of the food and beverage industry in the world. In Kazakhstan brewing is currently the most developed segment of the beverage market. In recent years, production capacities have been increasing, the range of products has been expanding, and craft brewing has been developing. Non-alcoholic beer is becoming more and more popular. The production technology is carried out in two ways - it is the dealcoholization of the finished drink, or a change in the technological processes of production. In the presented article, the possibility of preparing a low-gravity wort and fermenting it with various strains of yeast for the preparation of non-alcoholic beer is investigated. The technological characteristics of three types of yeast used for the production of low-alcohol drinks, fermentation activity and absorption of solids during fermentation were studied. It has been established that the yeast strain Saf Brew TM LA-01 has the lowest degree of fermentation and is most suitable for the fermentation of low-gravity wort in the production of non-alcoholic beer. The mode of fermentation and post-fermentation of beer has been selected, as a result of which the content of ethyl alcohol does not exceed 0.5 vol.% and contains fermentation by-products in quantities corresponding to established standards.

The article presents the results of research that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed agro-technological measures of growing spring barley in the eastern part of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine. For the first time the regularities of growth, development and formation the grain productivity of plants of different varieties of spring barley and their adaptive indicators under the influence of biotic and abiotic factors are established. The reaction of plants of different varieties of spring barley to predecessors, mineral fertilizers, use of growth regulators in the conditions of the eastern part of the Northern Steppe for grain formation with appropriate grain quality indicators has been established. By investigation the genetic material that would stabilize the grain productivity of spring barley in the area of the eastern part of the Northern Steppe, a variety of spring barley Skhidnyi and the first brewing variety of spring barley Stepovik was bred. Regardless of the fact that the Northern Steppe is not a typical area for growing malting barley, however, the use of the proposed elements of technology contributes to the production of grain of appropriate quality. An additional impact on the quality of grain products is provided by the use of varieties of the appropriate purpose. Thus, by the using the improved growing technology of spring barley variety Stepovyk the protein content decreased to 10,1%, and the extractivity oppositely, increased to 75,9%. It is revealed that the introduction of the proposed elements of the growing technology of spring barley helps to strengthen the immunity ofplants to pathogens of major diseases. As a result of research, new and improved existing methods of varietal technology for growing spring barley, which, in the conditions of the eastern part of the Northern Steppe, contribute to a more complete realization of the genetic potential of varieties, increase yields, improve grain quality and reduce production costs.
