Abstract
If beer were invented today, the complex processes described in this book would probably be considered a most inappropriate technology. We would almost certainly make beer directly from barley or other grain using enzymes, we would not heat and cool and dry and wet the process as much as we do today; we would shorten fermentation and aging and we would not dilute the bulk product and fill it into tiny, yet heavy packages for distribution! The process would be a good deal more rational.
