http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/10/11/explorers.beer/index.html I'm counting on our Euro friends to let us know how soon their beer begins to resemble our American pisswater. Though hopefully there is no affect - this could lead to an explosion in microbeweries.

Beerliness is next to godlyness. Title: Proof American science is doomed Post by: Nebu on October 14, 2004, 08:33:14 AM I knew HE (http://www.yahooserious.com/einstein.html) would finally split the beer atom.
Title: Proof American science is doomed Post by: Merusk on October 14, 2004, 09:07:03 AM Y'know, the only problem I have with seeing Yeast that much in a brewing article is that it reminds me on a semi-conscious level I'm drinking fungus piss. Kind of ruins the whole beer experience sometimes.
Title: Proof American science is doomed Post by: toma levine on October 14, 2004, 09:23:50 AM The guy's not onto anything that revolutionary. Back in the 1500's, brewers didn't even know yeast existed. All they knew was they tossed the wort into a big wooden cask and it fermented. The cask usually was never cleaned out; it was essentially a giant yeast farm that was reused over and over. Really not that different from what this guy's doing.

One had the consistency of yogurt....um no thanks... Title: Proof American science is doomed Post by: Paelos on October 14, 2004, 10:02:29 AM He probably got these pages stuck together (http://www.towson.edu/users/gekpenyo/315lab20.htm)

One had the consistency of yogurt....um no thanks... Yeah. Years ago I read an article about a guy who brewed a beer that was close to what the first beers, in the middle east, were like. Those old beers were a sort of combination of beer and bread - like dough in liquid. They weren't carbonated, had no hops, and were sweet. Doesn't sound refreshing, but does sound nourishing. You could probably live on oldschool beer alone. |
