About Wort

Wort is the liquid produced by extracting fermentable material from grain or another starch source during brewing or fermentation preparation. Its exact ingredients and process vary, and this name does not specify a particular cereal, recipe, or stage. It is generally a liquid that may range from pale to dark and from thin to more substantial depending on its source and concentration.

Wort is used as a fermentable base in brewing and related food or beverage production, often before fermentation. The label identifies this brewing liquid rather than a finished drink. Its sweetness, colour, and composition depend on the source materials and processing, none of which are specified in this record.
