Exploring Brewing Processes and Yeast Genetics

The chapter delves into the world of brewing processes and yeast genetics from the perspective of a yeast geneticist, covering topics like attenuation, fermentation, and yeast evolution. It highlights the role of yeast genetics in sugar consumption during the brewing process and touches on the domestication of brewing yeast for specific fermentation traits. The conversation emphasizes the crucial link between genetic modifications in yeast and the optimal production of alcohol and CO2 in brewing.
