==== 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 activation energy for the reaction. This reaction is undesirable in beer brewing as the sugar is effectively wasted.
