What are the steps involved in the beer making process?

The beer making process involves several key steps: malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, and packaging. Malting involves soaking and germinating barley to create malt. Mashing combines the malt with hot water to extract sugars. Boiling the mixture with hops adds flavor and bitterness. Fermenting the wort with yeast converts sugars into alcohol. Conditioning allows the beer to mature and develop flavors. Finally, the beer is packaged for distribution and consumption.
