yeast

'In the the theatre of brewing, yeast is viewed, quite inappropriately, as a 'supporting actor'.  This opening line from 'yeast supply and propagation in brewing' (Quain, D.E (2006), 167-182, in Brewing new technologies, ed C.W. Bamforth, Woodhead Publishing).  Yeast reflects the 'its a given' profile of yeast in breweries.  A perception that might change if yeast was purchased as a raw material from a supplier.  There is an argument for a yeast 'supply chain' that integrates the various processes in such a way that each is optimised so as to benefit yeast quality (details).  Adoption of this philosophy would elevate yeast to its rightful place as the leading player in the brewing process.
