NSAS Idea Suggestion #4 - Biotechnology And Beer-Brewing
In this series I propose daily ideas for new members who are interested in becoming #steemstem authors.
I will post an idea a dayish (it is the goal to post daily, but again real life>steemit for now). With this idea I will include a short description about aspects you may be interested in. If you read this idea proposal, and you like it, and you want to write about it:
Obviously "username" is where you write your own username. This is so that I know who is interested in @steemstem and science in general and I am always looking for a good read. This is honor system stuff, so please respect someone claiming an idea. Again, this is just the first step towards writing a good science post. There is more to it. Do your research, use scientific sources and try to use some proper language and attractive design.
This series will have their own hashtag #nsas, so that you can go back and sort through some of the ideas I have shared and what people made out of it. If you decide to use the idea I propose, please also include #nsas on your posts so that I can have a look at it and maybe get you connected in the steemstem group.
Please also visit @steemstem on steemit as well as on Discord. Follow the guidelines and appreciate the community. That means engage, upvote and comment until your fingers bleed.
The greatest discovery of this semester was that Nature has an open article magazine called Nature Communications. So, I spent a good bit scrolling through the articles looking for something that I may be interested in and stumbled on an article called "Industrial brewing yeast engineered for the production of primary flavor determinants in hopped beer". This brought back memories of a research presentation that I attended at my college. Some guys from Hudson Alpha came over and talked about some of the research they were doing with yeast. They were engineering yeast cultures for brewing. There are so many microbreweries spawning all over the country and even the planet. In order to compete with the bigger breweries these small companies need to have a distinct product. By engineering yeast, you can develop very unique flavor profiles and control the alcohol content. So here is the outline for this idea:
- Introduction with some figures about microbreweries
- Short explanation what yeast does in beer
- Give a few examples of new yeast for brewing
- Talk about limitations of this technology
- State and discus concerns people may have with genetically engineered organisms in beer production
I think this could be a fun post to write, especially when you are a beer connaiseur like I am.
I am also a mentor for @steemstem. Currently, I have one mentee so, if you want me to help you get your foot in the stem-door, leave a comment or find me on Discord. Depending on where you live, it may take me a day to reply. I will also help you with any of the proposed ideas. Just contact me and send me a draft and I will give you my two cents.

A very good idea! Can give me some inspirations, which topic to reflect in my own angle of view (or in a neutral sight)! Nice! I look forward!
Greetings!
Hmm, i wonder who are the people behind this because if there looking for a unique taste in their brew they should consider the digestive mechanics of yeast.
A.Example
-We all know that yeast eats sugar to produce alchohols but what about the other stuff like sodium or vitamins,oils and starch which are found in basic or certain fruits and plants. Thats why major company's are able to become so big because not only do they fancy in equipment but also in
People tinkering with Yeast either want to increase the alcoholic levels or make certain adaptions to fit the environment,lessen needed fermenting time or even change their behavior to eat not only sugar, now thats! amazing.
CHEERS!
Hoe that this types of beverages gets approved by the FDA.
I think this has been in use for a rather long time already (at least in the USA). Technically, developing specialized yeast by selecting strains that have favorable characteristics and breeding them is genetic engineering, so one could argue this has been around since we learned how to ferment stuff. If you are interested in this topic I would love for you to take this idea and write a post about it;)
Cheers!
Yay ive decided to make a post about beer,just check it out.
Hey hey! Just to clarify, I am merely proposing ideas. I hope that new stem authors may find some inspiration because for me that was, at times, a challenges. To your post: you should work a bit on your language and also style. Also, you should try to put more info into your post. I mean, what value does your post bring? I am sorry if this sounds harsh, these are just suggestions that may help you become a better writer here. If you want me to, I can try to help you a little bit with your posts. Cheers!
