What is produced when beer made?

Beer fermentation produces several by-products, including:

- Carbon dioxide (CO2): This is the gas that gives beer its bubbles and foam.

- Proteins: Some proteins from the barley and yeast remain in the beer after fermentation.

- Phenols: These compounds contribute to the beer's aroma and flavor.

- Esters: These compounds also contribute to the beer's aroma and flavor.

- Alcohol: Ethanol is the main alcohol produced during beer fermentation.

- Water: Water makes up the majority of beer.

- Yeast: Some yeast cells remain in the beer after fermentation.
