Mashing is a crucial step in the
distilling process where grains are mixed with hot water to convert starches into fermentable sugars. This process allows for the extraction of flavors, colors, and aromas from the grains. The tools used for mashing in
distilling facilitate the mixing of the grains and water, and provide precise temperature control to achieve optimal enzyme activity. These tools ensure efficient conversion of starches to sugars, resulting in a flavorful and high-quality distillate.
Here is a list of tools used to perform mashing:
