Developing an Application Strategy
To better understand how the sample recipe was created, this section first explains how beer is produced. The following figure provides an overview of the beer-making process.
Beer Production Overview
As you can see, beer production begins by cooking malt and cereal in water separately and then these mixtures are combined into one and cooked again. The resulting liquid is strained and hops are added to create a wort. The wort is cooled and then yeast is added. By allowing the liquid to ferment, beer is produced.
Typically when making beer, recipes are used while doing the following tasks:
- Cooking the malt and cereal.
- Adding hops and brewing the beer.
- Cooling the wort.
- Adding yeast and fermenting the beer.
Assume now you want to create a recipe that is downloaded when the wort is ready to be fermented. Let's look more closely at this part of the process.
