The Szumylo Team : brewing the Westnorth Watermelon Wheat beer. This is the first stage of the process.  Malt gives the beer its color and flavor, and is also contains the sugar that is fermented into alcohol by the yeast.  In these pictures, we're adding the malt to boiling water.   Hops is another flavor element commonly added to beer.  In this picture we're adding an ounce of Hersbrucker Hops to the boiling mixture.  Once the malt and hops are added, the whole thing boils for an hour. Stay tuned……
