When to Clean and Sanitize Equipment:

making sure bacteria do not spoil your beer.
Mashing and Boiling
Mashing is the process of transforming the starches in grains into fermentable sugars. Boiling the wort brings hop
flavors and sterilizes it, readying the grounds for fermentation.
Fermentation and Conditioning

sugars, which results in alcohol and CO2. It takes a week to condition and mellow the flavors once they come
together in the beer.
