What the heck is beer anyway? from Scienceline on Vimeo.

In this video, it talked about how to make beer. This is what it said: It starts with barley, the seeds from the plant are filed with starch, witch isn't good. So, to brake it down, they put the seeds in hot water, so that they start to sprout. Then, they dry the seeds to stop them from growing. Now, the baby plants have started to eat the starch, that's good! Then the seeds are smashed up into something called mash. Mash can be two things, Malt extract or wart. Malt extract, goes into things like whoppers(type of beer), while the wart, actually makes your beer. Then they add yest to the wart and extract all of the sugar, and poop out CO2 and Ethanol. Depending on what type of beer you want, you can add the Humulus Lupulus that's is bitter, or the one that is more aromatic(you have to add this before you add the starch!). That's it! And there you have beer!
