Think Foam Positive: How Yeast Shapes Beer Foam
Description
Foam isn’t just a pretty pour — it’s a story about yeast, beer quality, and brewing science.
This week, Mark and Richard dive into the fascinating world of foam: what it’s made of, how yeast helps (and sometimes hurts) it, and why your beer’s head says more about quality than you might think. Learn about the genes that make lager yeast foam-positive, how foam impacts aroma and mouthfeel, and why healthy yeast is your best bet for perfect pour performance.
Whether you’re brewing lagers or pushing from good to great, this episode will help you think foam positive!
