The process of making beer is brewing. It converts the grain into a sugary liquid called wort and then ferments this into beer using yeast. The first step is mashing, in which malted barley is mixed with hot water in a mash tun. The starches are converted to sugars, and the sweet wort is drained off. Hops are added to the wort during the boil as a source of bitterness, flavour and aroma. The wort is cooled and the yeast is added. The wort is then fermented, often for a week or longer.

Depending on the quantity and on the time and point of addition, the hop gives either a strong or a more subtle hop aroma. In the flavour industry, the Maillard reaction is the basis of many recipes, and flavourists have used it to make artificial flavours.
