ale production

Ale production is a brewing process where yeast ferment malted grains—primarily barley—by consuming sugars and converting them into alcohol and carbon dioxide. First, grains are mashed with hot water to extract sugars, creating a sweet liquid called wort. The wort is then boiled with hops for flavor and stability. After cooling, yeast is added to the wort to ferment, typically at warmer temperatures than lager, producing ale's distinctive fruity and robust flavors. The beer then matures, allowing flavors to develop before it is filtered and packaged.
