Basically I'm a student in a Fermentation Sciences course and as a final project we need to write up a recipe for some fermented product. I chose beer, and I want to make it cyberpunk or science themed, so I'd like to see if y'all have any ideas to spare. My ideas so far:
- IPA: I like them
- GM Yeast: Read an article on Quartz about GM yeast from Berkeley that produces the bitter hop flavor, so you don't need hops but this exposes the beer to contaminants no?
- Green glow-in-the-dark: A NASA biologist started a site called "the-odin" that provides a kit where you can genetically modify any yeast strain to added a jellyfish protein that gives it a green glow, which looks like nuclear radiation to me.
This is all theoretical, maybe in the future I'll make it real. What do you guys think nuclear radiation would taste like? How should a cyberpunk beer taste like? This is for a 7.5 gal boil for a 5 gal brew. Some adjunts I've been thinking about are quinine, juniper, maybe ginger. Something interesting. One problem with quinine is that it's bacteriostatic so it'll hinder yeast growth.
