From the News Observer:
Lesser scientists around campus might be working on cloud computing or synthetic aortas, but this gang at N.C. State University is concocting liquid happiness by the 31-gallon tank.
Wolfpack beer.
The idea here is to train the eyes of science onto North Carolina’s brewing trade, which now produces more than 6 million barrels a year and sparks envy nationwide.
The N.C. State Brewery serves as a quiet partner trained in microbiology and chemical engineering, a resource that can tell you how to fight contamination, manage yeast and calculate your beer’s International Bitterness Units, or IBU.
