/* Oxidization */
==== Oxidization ====
Generally oxidization involves the reaction of carbohydrates (in this case wort) with oxygen to from water and carbon dioxide. This occurs during [[Mashing]], [[Sparging ]] and [[Boiling ]] as the heat present is sufficient to provide the required reaction activation energy. This reaction is undesirable in beer brewing as the sugar is effectively wasted.
