brewing technology

Brewing technology refers to the techniques and equipment used to produce beer, cider, and other fermented beverages. The process typically involves four main ingredients: water, malted grains (usually barley), hops, and yeast. First, the grains are mashed with hot water to extract sugars. Hops are then added for bitterness and flavor. The mixture, called wort, is boiled, cooled, and fermented with yeast, which converts sugars into alcohol and carbonation. Advanced brewing technology also includes precise temperature control, filtration systems, and quality monitoring to ensure consistent flavor and safety in the final product.
