Mashing in brewing refers to

  • A.Holding milled malt in warm water so enzymes convert starch
  • B.Boiling the wort vigorously together with the hops
  • C.Adding the yeast to the cooled wort to start fermentation
  • D.Storing the finished beer cold for several weeks

Answer: A

Correct answer: Holding milled malt in warm water so enzymes convert starch

Mashing holds the crushed malt at around 63 to 68 degrees, the range in which the amylases developed during malting work fastest without being destroyed. Over an hour or so they convert the starch into maltose and other fermentable sugars, and the sweet liquid drawn off is the wort.
