FAQ on yeast and brewing from ASM

[Brewitt]

Some of you might be interested in this FAQ I ran across on the American Society of Microbiology that is for non-scientists on the Microbiology of Beer.

If the yeast ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

This is very good reading. The clarity of the subject is not found in brewing books.

Well, makes sense because Charles Bamforth from UC Davis wrote some of the well known textbooks on brewing, Chris White of White Labs was also a contributor, Morten Kielland-Brandt is a very famous yeast microbiologist formerly from the research institute at Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen, now elsewhere. These folks know what they are talking about.

Carlsberg Institute at the Carlsberg Brewery in Copenhagen is one of the more important sources of knowledge in brewing science and yeast microbiology and biochemistry in general. Here is a photo of the main gates of the brewery and the front of the research institute.

Enjoy!

OK, a couple more, just because I like them...
This is the second gateway, just behind the one in the previous post (you can see it through the arch in that one). I love the elephants.
