00:03 I'm sorry.

00:06 Hi, I'm Sherry.

00:07 I'm the lead brewer here at Capital Brewing Company.

00:09 And we're going to talk about the brewing process.

00:12 So we start with milling.

00:16 We'll mill our grain.

00:18 And that just cracks it open and exposes the starch inside.

00:21 And the very first step of the process is mashing in.

00:24 So the mash is mixing that grain with hot water.

00:29 And that's basically just going to extract your sugars

00:32 from the grain and leave you with what's called wort.

00:35 Wort is basically sugary water.

00:37 And so from the mash, we go into the kettle.

00:40 That's where we boil.

00:41 That's where we'll add a lot of the hops or your adjuncts,

00:44 which is flavoring.

00:46 And then we go into the whirlpool.

00:49 So the whirlpool is basically another opportunity

00:52 to add hops, but that'll be more flavor and less bittering.

00:55 And you're going to separate your solids from the liquid.

00:58 So you want that flavored wort.

01:00 That's going to then go into the fermenter.

01:02 You don't want any of the solids.

01:04 So you go into the fermenter.

01:05 And that's where you're going to chuck in your yeast.

01:07 And from day one, it'll start fermenting straight away.

01:12 And depending on the beer, about two weeks later,

01:15 you've got a delicious brew.
