The passage introduces the functional objective of mashing before the book separates the relevant cereal-conversion steps.
Mashing is presented as a controlled preparation and conversion stage: equipment, water, grain treatment, enzymes, temperatures, and time are selected to make fermentable sugars available to yeast.
