  16. Beer • Fermented Grain, Water, Yeast and Hops • Grain can be malted barley, wheat, oats, rice, corn, rye • “Malted” - steeped in water 2 weeks then dried out – this converts complex carbohydrates to more simple sugar • Malted grain is the sugar source for the yeast • Roasted grain for color and flavor • Hops - for flavor (bitterness), head retention, shelf life • Yeast “eats” grain sugar converting it to alcohol and CO2
