I posted my latest blog entry this evening. I really struggled with this topic because one of my goals when blogging is to make advanced brewing topics accessible to all brewers. As I have mentioned before, there is a fine line between being too technical and not being technical enough.
Great stuff Mark. I’m not saying I could repeat what you said tomorrow, but I followed it all and it made sense. Thank you.
I was expecting an article about cap and trade. Still good info. 
I think your struggles trying to get the balance between enough info and too much jargon paid off. I think its about right. I have always had an interest in science, but no training (history &englishmajor) so I think I’m a good sample and I easily understood. I even had something awake from the nether regions of my brain where high school biology is kept when I read the last paragraph and out of nowhere: Kreb’s Cycle!
As an engineer in the nuclear power industry I was also expecting something different! Awesome stuff.
Well done. I actually learned things.
Thanks guys
Excellent write up. I will need to go back and read again and get it into memory.
ATP is sometimes called the currency of life, so that showing up was no surprise.
That was a great read!
My only wish would be for a few of the molecules written out to help us visual folks. Don’t know if that’s possible (chemist I am not).
I have avoided including images because that means setting up an image repository, uploading images, and then creating links in the document. The blog is not powered by WordPress, but it does provide support for embedded HTML.
If chemistry books were written like this, I probably could have understood chemistry in college.
Thank you, Mark.
Completely agree!
I’m new to brewing, and this is very helpful to understand what’s actually happening. Thanks!
Very nice write up, Mark.
If you want to read a well-written advanced brewing textbook, pick up a copy of “Brewing” by Michael Lewis and Thomas Young.
Well done, Mark. But man do I have a lot more to learn…I have a chart that my daughter framed and gave to me that hangs behind my basement bar -it covers the chemical reactions involved in a heterolactic fermentation cycle and it is pretty much useless to me - it does contain some of the words you used, though.
