Fermentation microbiomes part 2 from #UCDavis: American coolship ale microbiome

 From Nick Bokulich: This is an image of the "coolship" where the cooling wort
(pre-fermented beer) is left overnight and presumably where wild
microbes are introduced to kick off the fermentation. This is the
morning after, still full of wort.

Just a quick follow up to my recent post on How did I miss this? The botrytized wine microbiome ... from #UCDavis colleague David Mills.  There is a similar paper from the same group also in PLoS One from about the same time: PLOS ONE: Brewhouse-Resident Microbiota Are Responsible for Multi-Stage Fermentation of American Coolship Ale.  What a job --- microbes, ales and wines, and sequencing.  One of the few times when reading a paper where I have said "I wish that was me doing that work." ... must look into getting involved in such studies ...
