sparge
Sparge is a process in brewing and distilling industries where hot water is sprayed over the grains to extract soluble sugars. This is a crucial step in the beer-making process as the sugars extracted are fermented by the yeast to produce alcohol. In a broader sense, "sparge" can refer to any process where fluid is gently sprayed or sprinkled over a substance to enable extraction or washing.
