The 'Hymn to Ninkasi' was for the Goddess of Brewing. Beer at this time was made from barley and dates and crushed loaves of bread.
The ancient Sumerians were the first beer drinkers in about 4000BC. This is in modern day Iraq.
Acceptable brewing water is generally odorless, tasteless, colorless and potable. Beer styles developed from the available water. #beer
High alkaline water works better with dark malts so the dry Irish Stout developed out of high alkaline waters of Dublin. #beer
Brewing water is usually stripped clean of all minerals through advanced filtration and then minerals like calcium are added in. #beer
Malting allows the enzymes that are in barley to start converting starches into sugars.
Barley must be malted before it can be used effectively for brewing. The grain is soaked in water, allowed to sprout, then dried. #beer
It takes 3 to 10 barrels of water to make 1 barrel of beer. #beer
Beer is a fermented beverage just like wine, ciders and mead. What defines beer is that it is made from grain, primarily barley.
