I majored in Microbiology in college and, like many I'm sure, I did not use the knowledge of my degree for much of my current profession. I do, however, still find the topic very interesting! I'm looking for a few books and other media types that go into the very scientific processes involving yeast cultivation, breeding, and brewing.
Hopefully without sounding snooty, I'm not really looking for stuff that gives generalities (ex. these are yeast, this is why they ferment, this is what they look like)...I know that stuff. I'd really be interested to hear about how breweries modify fungal strains, or what metabolic processes can be modified for brewing, even histories for yeast cultivation. I'm sure there's stuff out there, but you all are the info gurus.
Cheers!
