New brewing Method Means Faster Beer, Less Waste

thatshortkid writes "A brewmaster in Germany has invented a cylinder that fuses yeast to the sides, allowing the yeast to do its fermentation job faster. A process that normally takes 10 days now takes a few hours. Also, yeast that normally has to be changed out after three brews can now last up to six months to a year."

First Pint!

Now if you can just add a clock and a timer this thing could brew my morning beer before I get up, just like my coffee maker. :-)

Heck with that brewing stuff...I just use the freeze-dried instant beer crystals. No need for brewing at all. Instant-in-your-cup goodness! On Mondays though I usually put in 4 scoops instead of the usual 2. :-)
