The mash process involves steeping grains in hot water wherein the enzymatic conversion of starches to sugar occurs. The sugar produced during this process is called maltose and makes up the large proportion of fermentables in most beer. However, it's not the only sugar that can be used in brewing, in fact there certain styles that all but require different types of sugar. In this episode, Marshall is joined by contributor Matt Del Fiacco to discuss these alternative sugars, the way in which they're used, and of course the results of some exBEERiments.
