Making your own homebrew is a wonderful and rewarding past time. But how is it that beer is made?

The quality of the prayers said over the beer were what determined its quality, taste and potency. The Vikings used to shout angrily at their ales in an effort to wake up the spirit within. Over time, it was discovered that a tiny life form, so small you could never see it without a microscope, is the cause of the process of fermentation. It turns out that this life form exists somewhere on the hazy border between plant and fungal life, and is virtually omnipresent in the natural world. Yeast, the hidden key to fermentation.
