The plan for this project involved making a couple of gallons of Nocino and putting it in a 10L charred oak barrel until it absorbed the desired flavors. Once the Nocino reached that stage the plan was to fill the … Continue reading →
In previous posts, I wrote about the discovery of a yeast, S. eubayanus (See this post and those that follow) . Genetic analysis suggests that S. eubayanus is the most likely candidate to have hybridized with S. cerevisiae to form … Continue reading →
In previous posts, I wrote about the discovery of the yeast strain S. eubayanus, the likely candidate that produced a hybrid (with S. cerevisiae) that we now use in the production of lager beer. Genetic sequencing of the most widely … Continue reading →
Last year I wrote a post about what I planned to do in 2016. Now that 2017 is here, I thought I should write about what happened during 2016 and outline my plans for 2017. First, I found myself experiencing … Continue reading →
Several researchers have set up a website for the release of data related to an ongoing yeast gene sequencing project. This is pretty cool. Not a lot there yet, but I expect to see a lot more in the future … Continue reading →
