Introduction to Brewing Science

Abstract

When we think about making beer, what comes to mind? Often we rely on those images with which we are familiar, the TV ads showing brewers sitting around sampling their work or the server pulling a tap to dispense a beautiful yellow liquid into a glass. But there is more to the process than we see on the television. And the science behind that process is quite interesting. We will begin our look into the brewing process from the very beginning of civilization and build our understanding of the methods used today. Along our journey, we will uncover the science behind the scenes and gain a much deeper understanding of this very important beverage.
