Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beer is traditionally made using malted barley and other starchy cereals such as wheat, which are mashed with hot water to release their sugars. The resulting liquid is then boiled with hops to add flavor, bitterness, and stability to the beer. Yeast is then added to ferment the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Grapes and fruit are more commonly used in the production of wine rather than beer, and although grains and wheat are used in beer making, hops is the primary flavoring ingredient.
