      abstract = {One of the critical challenges faced by Breweries in Nigeria and other brewing Industries in Africa is inability to meet the gross line yield (GLY) target. During the mashing phase, not all extract is filtered out of grist and as such, some percentage of the extract is discharged as spent grains. This contributes to the shortage of wort which contains the sugar molecules that would undergo fermentation to produce ethanol. Outside technical and logistics problems, the rapid increase in raw material costs and wages makes it more than ever essential to optimize raw materials. This study is aimed at assessing the production level and extract loss in a brewing company which could be used to appraise the productivity of brewing companies in Nigeriaand Africa at large. The study was done through certain formation of concentration of the constituents of production data, which were given as: sugar concentration (g/l) = 325 (max.), yeast concentration (g/l) = 1 (max.) and nutrient concentration(g/l) = 4 (max.). Using the design expert software to develop the orthogonal array of the mixture design process. Chemical analyses of the production data mix were conducted after the mixture were subjected to the standard reaction conditions to observe the extent of the ethanol yield per mixture size. Then the total data array were obtained and ready for statistical analyses with software for the test of significant results. The result of the statistical analysis showed that a total average value of ethanol yield of  - 1436800475.25 g/l/d was obtained. The model that generated this value accounted to 99.99 percentage with signal/noise to be 308.102, implied adequate signal.},
