Iron Hill's First Brew

The Chestnut Hill location brewed its first batch of beer Friday.

Iron Hill's soon-to-be-open Chestnut Hill location brewed its very first batch of beer Friday.

This is the process of adding water to the grains and holding the grains and water at a certain temperature so that enzymes in the grains can break down starches into sugars. The sugars later become food for the yeast that is added during fermentation.
