Answer to Question 2

Malt is essential for the making of grain-based alcoholic beverages because yeast cannot directly cause fermentation in grain starch. Grain starch must first be converted to sugar before yeast can then convert those sugars to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. During the malt preparation process, the enzyme amylase is produced. Amylase has the property of converting the remaining starch in a grain into the sugars maltose and dextrin, which will later be fermented by the addition of yeast into alcohol. While several grains can be used to perform the malting process, beer makers primarily use barley when making their products.
