Ale Versus Lager Yeasts – Beer on the Brain
Every year I teach two lectures on yeast metabolism in commercial brewing. Poor students have to listen to me ramble on for two hours about beer*. They get aroma samples as examples of some of the things I discuss – esters, POF, biotransformation – but I keep the bigger samples for myself.
Those of you who follow me on Instagram may have seen my post (copied below) about this – and the suggestion that I turn some of that material into some videos. I like this idea, so here is the first (of 5) videos comparing the samples I prepared and discussing the brewing science they reflect.
The video is embedded below the Instagram post, or can be found here. All videos in the Beer on the Brain series can be found at this link.
Videos in this Mini-Series:
- Ale Versus Lager Yeasts (this post)
