| Wax | Any one of a class of substances of plant or animal origin, insoluble in water, partly soluble in alcohol, ether, etc., and miscible in all proportions with oils and fats. They consist of esters and often, in addition, free fatty acids, free alcohols and higher hydrocarbons. |
| Weevil | Any numerous (mostly small) beetles of a group (Rhynchophora) with snout-like heads. The larvae eat out the interior of nuts, fruits and grains. |
| Whirlpool | Round cylindrical flat bottom tank into which hot Tank wort from the brew kettle is pumped at high velocity and tangentially to its straight wall. This high speed stream causes the wort in the tank to rotate slowly and do deposit its trub in a more or less compact cone in the center of the tank. |
| Wort | The liquid obtained when malt enzymes attach a heated aqueous slurry of ground endosperm of malted and unmalted cereal. |
