Beer Ingredients I
Bittersweet simphony
Beer four basic ingredients are simply Nature: Water, Cereal (malted barley), Hops and Yeast. Each of them splits in many variants that bring beer diversity and richness.
But Nature made the Brewer’s work difficult. Barley is very hard and don´t have the right composition. That`s why barley needs to be transfomed into malt, getting smoother and changing composition.
Inside the Brewery, Water and Malt originate the brewing wort that will feed the yeast. This process is hard and hot, it`s the hardest part. Hop is used to reveal bitterness and flavor during wort boiling.
Beer Ingredients II
Cold little heart

Brewing wort pleases only the Yeast, not Humans. It`s viscous, sweet and cloying.

Some beer styles are spiced with fresh hops and new flavours spark from the cold.
