CONT

The malt is ground to a coarse grist, is weighed, and is placed in a mash tub, or mash tun, and then water is added. The prepared cereal mash usually is cooked to liquefy the starch and then is added to the malt fraction. The malt's enzymes convert the starch into fermentable sugars -- maltose and dextrin.

CONT
