is there a name for Wort after the pitch?

[ksievert]

So after you pitch the yeast in the Wort is there a technical name for the fluid? Is it called Beer at this point? Like to hear what anyone's thoughts were?

It's fermenting wort until the yeast is finished, then it's beer.

My understanding is that legally once the yeast is pitched, it becomes beer according to Johnny Law.

Water + barley + hops + yeast = beer

 

[Nightshade]

Once yeast is added it is beer by legal definition.

Yep!

Brewing liquid (water, or the liquid in the mash)- "liquor"

Boiling/boiled liquid- "wort"

Yeast pitched= "beer"

That what I was thinking, but there was a chance there was a technical term that would win a bet thanks.

Seem barm is the stuff at the top. But hey I did not know that. Thanks I learned a new vocab word.

Barm.

Sadly, not barm. Barm is the crud that is left on the top inside of the fermenter. Gets nice and hard and crusty and is a PITA to clean off.

Although here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barm) it is described more like kräusen, I associate it more with the residue left by kräusen than the kräusen itself.

Once yeast is added to wort it becomes beer by definition.
