brewing process
Mash, boil, ferment
The brewing process is the series of steps used to make beer, from malting and mashing grains through fermentation.
The term appears in discussions of craft beer, homebrewing, and industrial production: Each brewery guards its brewing process closely.
More broadly, any brewing process describes how a beverage is prepared by steeping or fermentation.
