About This Course

Malt is to beer as grapes are to wine, as honey is to mead, and as apples are to cider. It supplies the sugars that yeast cells convert into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Without malt, beer as we know it would not be. In this course, you'll gain a deeper understanding of what's often called the soul of beer--malt.
