Foamies,  

The American Society For Microbiology has done  a series of "Microbes After Hours" events and podcasts recently, and this week the topic was the Microbiology of Beer, featuring interviews with Charles Bamforth and Rebecca Newman from Dogfish Head. This goes along with a pretty excellent booklet they recently produced on the microbiology of beer (Bamforth and Chris White were on the steering committee). It includes a good discussion of yeast related off-flavors as well. Some of you might find these interesting, or useful in roping in some of your scientifically minded friends into the homebrewing hobby. I'm providing links below:
