History

Around 4000 A.C. In Sumeria (soon to be Babylonian empire), is recorded in some tables of clays of the first mentions of this drink. Perhaps at first by pure chance, leaving a form of bread to the rain that would then ferment in the heat of the day.

Then the Babylonians went crazy and it seems that they developed more than 20 different recipes of beers. In the code of hammurabi (the first set of laws of history), there are indications of these first malts.

On the other hand it seems that the Egyptians also developed the drink. They called it "zythum" or also wine of barley, perfumed with honey, cinnamon and fruits.

Who incorporates hops into beer?

In the middle ages the monks of northern Europe realized the addition that gives the bitter taste and also helps to preserve it.

Elaboration

6 ingredients:

"Malta", or any cereal that is malted (seed that possesses starch and can germinate). The barley seed is used, as it could not be otherwise.
"Water"
"Hops", is a climbing plant of the family of ** cannabis ** (yeeeaa !!!!) that is in charge of stabilizing the foam.
.
"Yeast", with 2 types of "low" and "high" fermentation. The latter is the one that then results in fruity flavors.
"Grits", which are added cereals that make processing more stable. (Wheat, oats, corn, rye).
"Sugar"
