It’s time to move past yeast’s fertility problems. Last week, an article by teams at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, the Department of Genetics & Genome Biology at the University of Leicester, and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology at the University of Cambridge, was submitted to bioRxiv. This submission (which probably will be peer-reviewed soon) deals with the genetics of yeast. Subscribe now …
Isolation and adoption drives the emergence of beer yeasts Last week, I described the vast diversity of beer styles, some of which feature only a relatively small cast of yeast strains. While we can experiment with commercially available yeast strains and mash-up existing recipes, one could also consider adopting lesser-known yeast species or strains. The …

There is little question that science and technology have revolutionized our understanding of the world, let alone our beers. In contrast to most beer styles, we know little about …
