Pasteur defined his work as follows: ‘This work is based on the same principles that guided my research into wine, vinegar and silkworm disease… The theory of fermentation is a consequence of a vital phenomenon, a phenomenon of nutrition under specific conditions that places them within the category of ferments.
He then goes on to describe fermentation and the brewing of beer, providing the brewer with the technical means to produce a perfectly wholesome beer that can be stored indefinitely.”
