What is the primary fermentation process used in beer production?

Step 1: Start with ingredients like malted grains, hops, yeast, and water.
Step 2: Mix the malted grains with hot water to create a mash, which converts starches to sugars.
Step 3: Boil the mixture and add hops for flavor and aroma.
Step 4: Cool the boiled mixture and transfer it to a fermentation vessel.
Step 5: Add yeast to the cooled mixture; this is where fermentation begins.
Step 6: The yeast consumes the sugars and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Step 7: Allow the mixture to ferment for a period of time, usually a few weeks.
Step 8: After fermentation, the beer is filtered and carbonated before packaging.
