Brewing equipment refers to the tools and machinery used in the process of making beer, cider, or other fermented beverages. Key components include a brew kettle for boiling ingredients, a fermentation vessel where yeast converts sugars into alcohol, and a keg or bottle for storage and serving. Additional equipment may include a mash tun for mixing grains with water, a wort chiller to cool the liquid after boiling, and various measuring tools for monitoring temperature and gravity. Each piece plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and flavor of the final product.
