WHAT DOES BREWING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

brewing

Brewing

Brewing is the production of beer through steeping a starch source in water and then fermenting with yeast. It is done in a brewery by a brewer, and the brewing industry is part of most western economies. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence suggests that this technique was used in most emerging civilizations including ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. The basic ingredients of beer are water; a starch source, such as malted barley, which is able to be fermented; a brewer's yeast to induce fermentation; and a flavouring, such as hops. A secondary starch source may be used, such as maize, rice or sugar. Less widely used starch sources include millet, sorghum and cassava root in Africa, potato in Brazil, and agave in Mexico, among others. The amount of each starch source in a beer recipe is collectively called the grain bill. There are several steps in the brewing process, which include malting, milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, filtering, and packaging. There are three main fermentation methods, warm, cool and wild or spontaneous. Fermentation may take place in open or closed vessels.

My journalistic mission was straightforward: to await the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Nobody knew quite when this would be.

Bush - all suggested a war was brewing.
