Of beer and bubbles: The formula for a perfect pint By Julie Steenhuysen
Thu Apr 26, 9:13 AM ET
CHICAGO (Reuters) - A mathematical formula can now predict how the frothy head on a beer changes over time, a finding that may have a wide range of commercial uses beyond pulling the perfect pint, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

The formula explains how the tiny bubbles that make up foam grow -- an explanation that could lead to the development of products such as metal shrink wrap.
The possibilities include "the heat treatment of metals or even controlling (the) head on a pint of beer," Robert MacPherson of Princeton University in New Jersey and David Srolovitz of Yeshiva University in New York report in the journal Nature.
Foam is made up of many tiny bubbles that scientists think of as cells with boundaries. The new formula calculates how these microstructures grow.
These tiny structures or grains are abundant in nature, making up the foam on

Yes, but is it repeatable.
What say yee, to the pubs one and all, we have a hypothesis to test.
We will need funding.
Anyone here have experience getting a grant.

All I know is I like beer, but I think in Korea they put too much of something in the beer that doesn't agree with me. Does it happen to you as well? I think it has a ton of carbonation. What's the explanation for that?
I think people sometimes are not particular about their beer, but I am quite particular about my cerveza, bira, biere. It has to be just right with a full body kind of flavour and a strong enough aroma. |
