🗑
the trigeminal nerve detects   CO2 in beer  
🗑
the smoothness in Guiness is due to   nitrogen

the active ingredient that reduces these risks is   alcohol  
🗑
beer is a good source of certain   B vitamins  
🗑
the major source of calories in beer is   alcohol

🗑
the typical temperature range for germination is   16-20 C  
🗑
the purpose of the germination stage is to   breakdown cell walls and make enzymes  
🗑
the third stage of malting is   kilning
