In this stage of the brewing process, students will delve into the fascinating world of fermentation. Fermentation is a crucial step where yeast plays a pivotal role in transforming sugars into alcohol and flavor compounds. As the yeast consumes the sugars produced during mashing, it produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, contributing to the overall flavor and effervescence of the beer.

During fermentation, students will learn about the ideal temperature ranges for different yeast strains and the importance of maintaining a controlled environment to ensure a successful fermentation process. They will also explore the impact of fermentation duration on the final flavor profile of the beer.

Encourage students to actively monitor the fermentation progress by checking the specific gravity of the beer using a hydrometer. This will allow them to track the fermentation process and determine when it is time to proceed to the next stage of bottling.
