Let's explore the key steps involved in crafting GravCap

Malted Grains and Mash:

Carefully selected malted grains are combined with water as they enter the mash-tun in a process called mashing, converting starches into fermentable sugars and creating the pre-beer known as wort. We then transfer the beer to the boil kettle.

Hops and Boiling:

The wort is brought to a boil in the kettle, where hops are added to impart bitterness, aroma, and flavor to the beer. We then transfer the wort through a heat exchanger into a fermentation vessel.

Fermentation:

Yeast is added to the cooled wort, initiating fermentation. Yeast consumes sugars, converting them into alcohol and carbon dioxide while infusing the beer with distinct flavors/esters.

Maturation and Conditioning:

The beer undergoes conditioning to refine flavors, clarify and develop complexity, due to cold crashing.

Carbonation and Packaging:

After maturation, the beer is carbonated and kegged.
