The Beer Tap: Time Elapse Fermentation

Time Elapse Fermentation

Ever wonder what the process of fermentation looks like? I always enjoy watching yeast go to work during the home brew process, but this is a new twist for me. Stonch, a beer blogger in London, has put up a You Tube video over at his blog that shows a fermentation condensed into a two minute play time. Its great watching the krausen build to an undulating mass after a short time only to recede once the fermentable sugars are gone. Be sure to turn the speakers on as well. This is a music video!

Nice! It reminds me of the volatile brews that Steve and Tammy had explode in the bath tub at the Heights in Houston.
