 The starches in the grains are broken into fermentable sugars by [[chemistry:amylase enzymes]] during the mash.  The simpler carbohydrate chains are broken down by beta amylase enzymes, and the more complex carbohydrate trees are broken down by alpha amylase enzymes. The starches in the grains are broken into fermentable sugars by [[chemistry:amylase enzymes]] during the mash.  The simpler carbohydrate chains are broken down by beta amylase enzymes, and the more complex carbohydrate trees are broken down by alpha amylase enzymes.

 The temperature of the mash is one of the most critical elements of brewing.  A higher temperature leads to a less fermentable wort, resulting in a sweet final beer.  A lower temperature leads to a more fermentable wort, resulting in a dryer beer.  Too high or too low of a temperature can cause off flavors or poor efficiency.  The most common range for a single infusion mash is 148F - 158F (64C - 70C). The temperature of the mash is one of the most critical elements of brewing.  A higher temperature leads to a less fermentable wort, resulting in a sweet final beer.  A lower temperature leads to a more fermentable wort, resulting in a dryer beer.  Too high or too low of a temperature can cause off flavors or poor efficiency.  The most common range for a single infusion mash is 148F - 158F (64C - 70C).

-When the mash is finished, it is common to raise the temperature a bit to stop the enzymatic activity and increase the viscosity of the liquid so it drains from the grain bed more efficiently.  The mash out temperature is typically 170F (70C).+When the mash is finished, it is common to raise the temperature a bit to stop the enzymatic activity and increase the viscosity of the liquid so it drains from the grain bed more efficiently.  The mash out temperature is typically 170F (76C).
