How is beer made?

Beer is made from extracting sugar from the starch in malted grain. This is boiled with sufficient water & hops to make a “wort.” When this has cooled, brewing yeast is added to ferment the wort to create this finished product, which is suitable for bottling or kegging, and maturation. Some people mash their own grain, while others buy canned malt extract. Either method is suitable for creating an award-winning brew, though mashing does allow greater control over the finished product, and “mash’ers” claim better beer is made.
