====== Techniques ======
This category explains the different styles and techniques of brewing.  These refer to "global" techniques that individual brewers associate with, and relate more to what //type// of brewer you are than specific instructions which are usually found in other sections.


===== Source of Fermentables =====
Multiple options exist for where the fermentable sugars in your beer come from.  Some brewers buy powdered malt sugars, others mash their own grains to extract the sugars naturally, and still others use a mixture of both.  This is one of the most common methods used for answering //what type of brewer are you?//
