Brewing methods

Brewing methods refer to the different techniques used to extract flavors from ingredients, mainly grains like barley, for beer production. Common methods include boiling the grains with water (mashing), fermenting with yeast, and carbonating the final product. Each method influences the beer's taste, aroma, and texture. Popular styles include ales, featuring a top-fermenting yeast that creates fruity flavors, and lagers, which use bottom-fermenting yeast for a crisper taste. Variations in temperature, timing, and additives can further personalize the brewing process, resulting in a wide array of beer styles enjoyed worldwide.
