Wow, I had no idea that beer comes from grains. That explains why my brother likes brewing - it's like a complicated chemistry experiment.
Brewing use to take place in homes as baking and grewing were seen as women jobs
Women used to be the primary beer brewers? That's really interesting. I wonder why men ended up taking over?
scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built.

History.
Beer may have been known in Neolithic Europe and was mainly brewed on a domestic scale.
In some form,
unmalted extracts need the help of enzymes to convert their starches into sugars.
The next step up from extract brewing is to use a diastatically active malt extract to convert starches from other beer adjuncts such as flaked and torrified barleys, flaked and torrified wheat, wheat flour, and flaked oats into fermentable sugars. These extracts are currently only available in the canned form. Unmalted barleys and wheats can add extra "body" to a finished beer.
