brewis

Brewis is a term that refers to the process of brewing, specifically in the context of brewing beer. The term "brewis" is derived from the Old English word "breogan," which means to boil or brew. Brewing is an ancient art and science that involves the conversion of starches from grain into fermentable sugars, which are then converted into alcohol and carbonation through the action of yeast. The process typically begins with the malting of grains, such as barley, which involves soaking the grains in water and then drying them in a kiln. The malted grains are then mashed and boiled with water to extract sugars, and hops are added to the boil to contribute bitterness and aroma. After boiling, the wort is cooled and yeast is added to ferment the sugars into alcohol. The fermented beer is then conditioned and packaged for distribution. Brewis is a complex process that involves a variety of techniques and ingredients, and the resulting beer can vary widely in flavor, color, and strength depending on the specific brewing methods and ingredients used.
