Brewing
Brewing is the process of malting, mashing, and fermenting just four ingredients - barley, water, hops and yeast. The actual process becomes seemingly more complicated when a good brew requires tightly controlled conditions like the right temperatures, the right times, and the right amount of ingredients.
Brewing combines a variety of disciplines including chemistry, microbiology, mathematics, engineering and business. The process involves a complex series of biochemical reactions converting barley to fermentable sugars and allowing yeast to live and multiply, converting those sugars to alcohol.
