process of making beer.The dough made out of moistened barely bread in a strainer to produce a mash 
which is left to sour for weeks and then sieved and the liquid collected is the beerThen the fermented mash used 
to be sieved and the liquid collected was beer female brewer.We don't know much about the process of making beer, but judging from the' 
scenes as well as the statuettes of men making beer we can imagine that they used 
to add to the partly backed barely bread water and mix it to produce a mash.The chief drink to ancient Egyptians and their deceased 
at all times was the Hnqt.Then 
this mash was left over a night to sour or ferment.Then when the color of beer gets lighter the effect of 
beer gets weaker.We don't exactly know how many kinds of beer the 
ancient Egyptians had but we know their colors.
