The Chemistry of Beer Featuring Sam Adam’s Brewing Manager Grant Wood


Everyone knows that chemistry and beer go hand in hand, but can you guess what hops, barley, and Louis Pasteur have in common? Grant Wood, the Senior Brew Master at Boston’s Sam Adams brewery takes us on a quick tour of their world famous facility and gives a chemical explanation of the traditional four vessel beer brewing process. It’s about time all you home brewers out there get up to speed on your chemistry! [Note: At Sam Adams' Boston location, the mash tun is used as a substitute for the brew kettle because of the small size of the brewery.]

    Samuel Adams is a beer company that doesn’t seem to be content with sitting on their laurels. You can count on them to introduce a new style of beer on a regular basis.
