Wild yeasts expand our sensory horizons. Here, we describe how new research suggests that wild yeasts can help enhance the aromatic profile of your brewed beer.
Improving Beer malt quality, a comprehensive breeding effort Nowadays, beer malts are made from high-performance cultivars (elite cultivars) that produce malts that adhere to the highest quality standards. To breed crop cultivars, geneticists (breeders) make crosses between individual lines (parents). Many of these parents derive from breeding programmes or cultivated collections themselves. The gene pool
