how beer is made?
How Beer is Made. Beer is typically made from 5 classes of ingredients: water, malt, hops, yeast and sometimes adjuncts. Water is beerâs most abundant ingredient. We use Albany city water, after removing the chlorine. It is very good brewing water. Malt is the next most abundant ingredient in beer. It gives the beer its sweet, malty taste and aroma, is the only source of a naturally-made beerâs color, and provides the food that the yeast will convert into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Malt is very important!
