This is Modern Alchemy

This is Modern Alchemy

The ancient alchemists never figured out how to turn lead into gold, but they did help crack open the door to modern chemistry, laboratory science, and the very human habit of asking, "What happens if I put this with that?"

Which, honestly, sounds a lot like brewing.

In this episode of The Beer Craft, Ben and Andrew look at beer through the lens of old alchemy: taking base materials, applying heat, time, transformation, and a little misplaced confidence, then hoping something amazing comes out the other side.

We still haven't figured out how to turn lead into gold, but malt, hops, water, and yeast can get us pretty close.

Want to go deeper into the actual ingredients behind the magic? BYO's Beer Ingredient Bundle includes workshop replays on yeast, water, malt, and hops from brewing experts.
