Imagine a hot summer day, sitting in the cheap seats at your favorite baseball park. You have your hot dog, your giant foam finger, and a beer. Does life get any better than this? Can scientists build a better beer?
An international consortium of scientists believes so, and they have been mapping the genome of barley to help produce new and better varieties, vital for the beer and whiskey industries. Their results have been published in the journal, Nature.
If the genome sequencing allows for production of barley that can improve the conversion percentage of starches to fermentable sugars during mashing this could be of significance. Otherwise I doubt it much matters for beer production.
