The Impact of Mash Temperature on Beer Sweetness

In this chapter, they discuss the brewing process, specifically focusing on the mash temperature. They mention that mash temperature determines the final gravity (FG) of the beer, with a higher mash temperature resulting in a higher FG and a sweeter beer. However, they mention that their experiments and existing research suggest that the long chain dextrins left over in a high mash temperature wort are actually imperceptible. They also explain how they approach selecting mash temperature and adjusting it based on the desired alcohol content of the beer.
