Question

During the fermentation process for brewing beer, the brewing container (called a fermentor) is purposely not air tight and allows gases generated during the fermentation process to be released into the environment. Therefore, most brewers add a small amount of sugar to each bottle prior to bottling, which places the beer in air-tight containers. What would this accomplish?

A. Brewers do this to change the taste.
B. Brewers do this solely to increase the alcohol content.
C. Brewers do this to change the color.
D. Brewers do this to decrease the alcohol content.
E. Brewers do this to get carbonation because the beer is flat in the fermentor.
