Wort is the liquid that is fermented into beer. It can be made in two ways that have the same result. One is to mix water with malt syrup. The other is to run water through the malt to dissolve the sugars. This is what is mixed with the yeast to create the alcohol.

The yeast is used in beer-making to ferment the sugars that are contained in the sweet liquid called wort or beer that isn't fermented yet. If no yeast was introduced to the wort, none of the sugars would ferment into alcohol. In short, it makes the alcohol. Ha ha Is that true? I dont believe it!

When brewing beer how long can you wait before bottleing?
It depends on what your making. If there are a lot of fermentables you want to give the yeast time to do its job. I would say the minimum is a week but you could let the wort ferment for 2 to 3 weeks for a normal 5% alc/vol beer and it should be fine (Watch the bubbles from the yeast, when they die down and the surface of the wort is calm then the yeast is done working.) If your doing a stronger alc/vol beer then you will need to let the wort ferment longer and probably need a stronger yeast.
