We are still breaking down all the fun facts surrounding MALT, so this week we’re going to focus on a few vocab words that help us understand the importance of malt in the brewing process.

BEER VOCAB:

Grist: ground malt

Mashing: the act of adding temperature-controlled water to the grist during the brewing process

Mash: the end result mixture one gets during mashing; a porridge-y like consistency

Wort: the end product of mash starch turning into dissolved malt sugars

Mash tun: the brewing vessel where both mashing and wort runoff take place

Thanks for tuning in to this week’s BEER VOCAB lesson! Let’s keep learning together, eh?
