How science is putting the 'micro' into microbrewing

Scientists have taken “microbrewing” to a whole new level, developing a method to test brewing techniques using a single grain of barley in a 1.5-millilitre vial.
UQ PhD student and self-described “beer scientist” Edward Kerr came up with the method out of frustration, after being asked to redo some recent brewing experiments that he was trying to get published as a scientific paper.

“The people reviewing the paper asked for some extra experiments to clarify some things, but that would take another three months using these big 25-litre brewing vessels,” he said.
