The brewmaster's testing of the beer for taste and clarity is an example of feedback control, which involves monitoring the output or results of a process and making adjustments to correct any deviations from the desired outcome. The brewmaster is using feedback control to ensure that only high-quality beer is bottled and distributed, by rejecting barrels that do not meet the desired taste and clarity standards.
