What is the difference?
- 1Ingredients: Distilling typically uses grains, fruits, or vegetables while brewing primarily uses grains such as barley, wheat, or rye.
- 2Process: Distilling involves separating the components of a liquid through heating and cooling, while brewing involves fermenting a liquid with yeast.
- 3Equipment: Distilling uses specialized equipment such as stills, condensers, and boilers, while brewing uses equipment such as kettles, fermenters, and bottling machines.
- 4End product: Distilling produces distilled spirits such as whiskey, vodka, or gin, while brewing produces beer or other fermented beverages.
- 5Regulation: Distilling is often more heavily regulated than brewing due to the higher alcohol content of distilled spirits.
Remember this!
Distiller and brewer are both involved in the production of alcoholic beverages, but they differ in their ingredients, process, equipment, end product, and regulation. Distilling involves separating the components of a liquid through heating and cooling, using specialized equipment to produce distilled spirits such as whiskey, vodka, or gin. On the other hand, brewing involves fermenting a liquid with yeast, using equipment such as kettles, fermenters, and bottling machines to produce beer or other fermented beverages.
