Mashing. In brewing and distilling, mashing is the process of combining a mix of ground grains – typically malted barley with supplementary grains such as corn, sorghum, rye, or wheat (known as the "grain bill") with water and then heating the mixture. Mashing allows the enzymes in the malt (primarily, α-amylase and β-amylase) to break down ...
Mash ingredients. Malted barley – a primary mash ingredient. Mash ingredients, mash bill, mashbill, or grain bill are the materials that brewers use to produce the wort that they then ferment into alcohol. Mashing is the act of creating and extracting fermentable and non-fermentable sugars and flavor components from grain by steeping it in ...
α-Amylase is an enzyme (EC 3.2.1.1; systematic name 4-α-D-glucan glucanohydrolase) that hydrolyses α bonds of large, α-linked polysaccharides, such as starch and glycogen, yielding shorter chains thereof, dextrins, and maltose, through the following biochemical process: [2] It is the major form of amylase found in humans and other mammals. [3]
Starch gelatinization. Starch gelatinization is a process of breaking down of intermolecular bonds of starch molecules in the presence of water and heat, allowing the hydrogen bonding sites (the hydroxyl hydrogen and oxygen) to engage more water. This irreversibly dissolves the starch granule in water. Water acts as a plasticizer.
An inhibitor of alpha-amylase, called phaseolamin, has been tested as a potential diet aid. [10] When used as a food additive, amylase has E number E1100, and may be derived from pig pancreas or mold fungi. Bacilliary amylase is also used in clothing and dishwasher detergents to dissolve starches from fabrics and dishes.

Chicha is a fermented (alcoholic) or non-fermented beverage of Latin America, emerging from the Andes and Amazonia regions. [ 1 ] In both the pre- and post- Spanish conquest periods, corn beer (chicha de jora) made from a variety of maize landraces has been the most common form of chicha. [ 1 ]
The baker refined his recipe, adjusting yeast strains and fermentation temperatures, using a sweet mash rather than a sour mash. Jimmy Red Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged for at least two years ...
