In this part of the lesson, students will be guided through the mashing and boiling process, which are crucial steps in brewing a hazy beer. It is essential to understand the importance of temperature control and the timing of ingredient additions to achieve the desired flavor and appearance in the final product.

Mashing: The mashing process involves steeping crushed grains in hot water to extract sugars and other fermentable compounds. Students will learn about the different types of malted grains and their impact on the flavor and body of the beer. Emphasize the need for maintaining a specific temperature range during mashing to activate enzymes that convert starches into sugars.

Boiling: During the boiling stage, students will discover how hops are added at various times to contribute bitterness, flavor, and aroma to the beer. Explain the concept of hop additions, including early additions for bitterness and late additions for aroma. Emphasize the importance of a rolling boil and proper sanitation practices to prevent contamination.

By the end of this section, students will have a clear understanding of the mashing and boiling process and how these steps influence the overall character of their hazy beer.
