Mashing Defined. Mashing is the brewer's term for the hot water steeping process which hydrates the barley, activates the malt enzymes, and converts the grain starches into fermentable sugars. There are several key enzyme groups that take part in the conversion of the grain starches to sugars.So wha

How to control the temperature of mashing feeding？According to the theory, the mashing process can be applied over a wide range of temperatures, however in actual production, in order to make the enzymes fully play their role, and think about the other factors, main have two kinds of feeding tempera

During the mash, enzymes attack complex carbohydrates in the grain and break them up into more simple sugars that yeast can digest. If all (or most) of the available complex carbohydrates are modified by the enzymes and extracted in the wort, a 'high efficiency' is achieved. If much of the total ava
