Process: Yeast & Fermentation

After the wort is boiled, cooled, and aerated, yeast is added, or pitched, into the sugary solution to begin the wort's transformation into beer.

Process: Boiling, Whirlpool, Chilling, Aeration

After lautering (the separation of wort from the spent grain), the wort is heated to a rolling boil. 

Process: Milling, Mashing, Lautering

The first phase of brewing beer is the extraction of sugar from malted barley. This sugar is what yeast will consume to produce alcohol.
