New Zealand’s beers could soon be alive with the sound of music.
In fact, Auckland and Otago universities have just been awarded $1 million of taxpayer money through this year’s Endeavour Fund to research how sound waves impact beer fermentation.
During the study speakers will be submerged in beer to play sounds and music to the yeast. The process will then be monitored to find out if it will make the beer ferment faster or impart better flavours and aromas.
