(KGT 95): Domestic {HIq} is distilled from a number of different kinds of grain (tIr), with some additional constituents (of both plant and animal origin, including {'Iw}, blood) adding flavor and strength. (KGT 92): One way to bring fermentation about is to mix the food with a fungus (known as {'atlhqam}) usually scraped off the bottom of certain animals' feet, though it also grows on trees. The fermentation process is monitored so that the food is served at just the right time, even though the process is actually still going on (the verb meaning serve fermented food at its peak is {wech}). (KGT 97): A square or rectangular tub used to hold food while it is fermenting is called a {'Ib} (qepHom 2020): [{bewSom} [mash] is a] mixture of ingredients that, after a bit of time, produces fermented {HIq}. Maltz thought that maybe this was shortened from something like {bewSom roghmeH qegh pa'} "vat for fermenting {bewSom} room" or "{bewSom} fermenting vat room", but he wasn't sure about that. "Mashing is the term given to the start of the brewing process, where crushed grains are mixed with water to form a porridge-like mixture called the "mash." It is in the mash that malt and other cereal starches are transformed into sugars and proteins and other materials are made soluble, creating the sweet fermentable liquid called the wort.'
