New brewing Method Means Faster Beer, Less Waste

Posted by timothy on from the curing-worts dept.

thatshortkid writes "A brewmaster in Germany has invented a cylinder that fuses yeast to the sides, allowing the yeast to do its fermentation job faster. A process that normally takes 10 days now takes a few hours. Also, yeast that normally has to be changed out after three brews can now last up to six months to a year."

    Faster doesn't always mean better.

    What does it taste like?

    Less Expensive Beer!!!

    If you want less expensive beer, and good flavor (or any flavor for that matter), brew your own at home.

    It can be far more economical, and you get braggin' rights to boot.
