Break Starch Beer Brewing Malting Enzymes Sugars Barley

Front brewing
Back - malting (enzymes break down starch into sugars when barley germinates, seeds killed but enzyme activity retained to form malt)

- mashing (malt mixed with hot water so enzymes break down starch into wort which needs to be steralised)

- fermentation (wort inoculated with yeast, which is inhibited by dec in pH, build up of ethanol and lack of O2)

- maturation (beer conditioned in tanks)

- finishing (beer filtered, pasterised and bottled with addition of CO2)
