*'''Wort''' ([[IPA chart for English|pronounced]] {{IPA|[wɜ(r)t]}}) (to rhyme with dirt or word, not wart or ward) is the liquid extracted by the process of [[worting]], the [[mash|mashing]] of [[malted]] [[barley]] to use in [[brewing]] [[beer]]. Adding other grains to the barley is used for some varietal beers ([[wheat beer]] and [[oatmeal stout]], for example) or, more commonly, to cheapen the ingredients, as in the case of most beer produced by large breweries in [[North America]]. It is known firstly as sweet wort and then hopped wort after [[hops]] have been added at the boiling process. Wort contains [[sugar]]s that will be fermented by [[yeast]] added once the solution has cooled down sufficiently to allow the yeast to survive. |
