Biohacking your yeast strain at home sits at the edge of what’s achievable with accessible equipment and skills — and the line between “serious homebrewer with a microbiology interest” and “genuine amateur synthetic biologist” has become narrower tha

Heritage grain brewing is one of the most rewarding areas of recipe development I’ve pursued over the past few years.

Beer brewed from recycled CO₂ is one of those sustainability concepts that sounds like a greenwashing headline until you look at the actual chemistry — at which point it becomes a genuinely interesting circular economy application with real technical
