Yeast In Cybeerspace
Mark Tumarkin

Yeast are certainly among the most important life forms in the Universe. In fact, there is strong evidence that yeast were around when the Big Bang occurred (somebody had to be drinking something to get a bang that big -- oh, nevermind). Anyway, George Perrin has volunteered to put his education to good use by starting a Hogtown Brewers Yeast Ranch. As a prelude to that, he wrote a great article on yeast in last month's newsletter and gave a demo on how the Yeast Ranch will work at the Sept. meeting.

In order to get the most out of this Yeast Ranch, you are going to have to understand a little something about our yeastie friends. In order to help you in this endeavor, I have put together the following list of sites for you to check out. These sites may lead to more information than you want to know about yeast, but hey, go grab a beer and let's get started. By the way, George is still puzzling over how to brand the little fsckers on the Ranch... He's gonna need a really, really small branding iron.
