Japanese term or phrase: 仕込
What is the English for this word in the context of manufacturing beer? I believe it's between 製麦 and 発酵 in the process.

Thanks.

mashing and boiling
Explanation:
It is difficult to pin down really. For brewing process in general, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer
"Mashing: The first phase of brewing, in which the malted grains are ground and soaked in warm water in order to create a malt extract. The mash is held at constant temperature long enough for enzymes to convert starches into fermentable sugars.
Boiling: The extract is boiled along with any remaining ingredients (excluding yeast) to create the wort. The hops (whole or pelleted) are added, or a hop extract is used."

仕込 seems to refer to both these processes. It is explained pretty well at http://www.kadoyahonten.co.jp/mame/no2.html and http://www.kadoyahonten.co.jp/mame/no4.html as processes from 糖化 to 冷却 after boiling. It certainly refers to processes leading to fermentation.

There are other intermediary processes such as lautering and sparging (http://homepage2.nifty.com/k-tachibana/kirin-2-spa-lauter.ht...

As for 粕, they must be the grain separated from the wort during lautering - http://www.brewconsult.com/lscbrew.html - there may be a specific term for it.

The process where water is added is called ¥"mashing¥". Could it be this?

最初にピルスナーモルトを糖化率をよくするために
細かく粉砕することから始まります。
この粉砕の大きさはビールの味に直接影響しますので、
ブルワーの確かな技術と経験が影響します。

この粉砕したモルトを約68度の温水と混ぜ合わせ糖化を行ないます。

ここで出来る液体がビールの大元となる麦汁です。
麦汁を糖化釜で循環させ、麦汁を清澄化させます。
また、麦芽内の糖分を最大限引き出す為にスパージュを行い、
麦汁を煮沸釜に移し糖化釜のモルト粕を糖化釜からかき出します。

Brewing Water

The mineral content of brewing water has long been recognized as making an important contribution to the flavor of beer. This is especially important since water composes more than 90% of the beer.

A wide range of brewing waters is employed, giving rise to many classic styles of beers, that over the centuries have become world famous. For example, the famous brewing waters from the deep wells at Burton-on-Trent are known for their excellent qualities in brewing full-flavored pale ales. Burton water is high in permanent hardness because of the high calcium and sulfate content, but it also has a lot of temporary hardness from a high level of bicarbonate.

agree  Kurt Hammond: This sounds very likely. The term "brewing" is all-encompassing and does not refer to any single step. 仕込 sort of give me that impression as well.
