The Beerologist

In this instalment of The Beerologist, I will describe a scientific paper by Prof. Dr. Diego Bonatto that I recently found on bioRxiv (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.17.209171v2). The manuscript is currently (as of 28/08/2020) in peer review and subject to changes before publication. It is in the reviewers’ hands!

If you read this article, you may be a vegetarian or a vegan and like beer. To you I say: Read on!

In one of my previous articles, I wrote about yeast trapping, isolating wild yeasts from the natural environment to brew your beer. In the article, I also mentioned a few places where you can find yeasts and how you could go about isolating them.

In this episode of "Brew Your Own Beer 101”, we will spend some time on yeast. These simple Eukaryotes are part of a diverse and extensive group of organisms classed as Fungi.
