Beer Making Steps
Mashing: the starches are converted to fermentable sugars
Sparging: extracts the wort, the sugary syrup like substance from the mash
Boiling: increase the concentration of sugar in the wort. Hops can be added here
Fermenting: uses yeast to turn the sugar in the wort to alcohol and co2 creating beer
Packaging: beer is prepped for distribution
Best stored at cool temp and not in sunlight that breaks it down
Wine Making Process (vinification)
Crushing: breaks the skins of the harvested grapes releasing the yeast in the skins. This sugary pulp of skins and juice is the ‘must’
Macerating: allows the must to soak in the skins - red- must soak for both ferm, white -macerating is avoided
Pressing: removes any solid matter like stems from the must and juice is pressed out for fermenting
Primary fermenting: converts the sugar into alcohol
Secondary fermenting: converts the malic acid into lactic acid and co2
Bottling: sulfur dioxide is added to kill bacteria and help mature and protects against browning
All wine is stored at Same cool temp Red is best served around 60 degrees White is served around 45 Sparkling is served at 40 Spoils after 3-5 days
