What is the difference?
- 1Process: Brewing involves steeping ingredients in hot water, while distilling involves heating a liquid and collecting the condensed vapor.
- 2Purpose: Brewing is often used to make coffee, tea, or beer, while distilling is primarily used to create distilled spirits or purify liquids.
- 3Temperature: Brewing typically uses hot water, while distilling requires higher temperatures to vaporize and condense the liquid.
- 4End Product: Brewing results in a brewed beverage, while distilling produces a concentrated liquid with higher alcohol content.
- 5Equipment: Brewing can be done with simple tools like a coffee maker or teapot, while distilling requires specialized equipment like a still or distillation apparatus.
Remember this!
Brew and distill are both processes used to create liquid products, but they differ in their methods and purposes. Brewing involves steeping ingredients in hot water to extract flavors, commonly used for making coffee, tea, or beer. On the other hand, distilling involves heating a liquid and collecting the condensed vapor to create concentrated liquids with higher alcohol content, primarily used for making distilled spirits or purifying liquids.
