1000 Beer Genomes
Description
The 1,000 beer genomes project ▸▸ ▸▸ send your beer ▸▸ we read its DNA ▸▸ we draw a DNA map ▸▸ we give you the map back ▸▸ you discover new beers. Why DNA? Beer has many tastes and infinite nuances.
Where does taste comes from?
Yeast and good microbes break down the wheat,
and build aromatic molecules.
Good microbes have different DNAs.
Each one coding for taste-making tools (enzymes).
Our community of scientists, makers and brewers is launching a Kickstarter campaign to decode the genome of 1,000 beers.
And get unique understanding of beer taste.
With our App, you could select the beers you like and dislike. Then the App will compare your beer DNA with the database and propose you great beers. DNA proven.
Like us to improve beer tasting.
Cheers!

Synthetic wine made without grapes claims to mimic fine vintages
After decoding Champagne's 1,000 flavor profiles with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, Ava startup is trying to turn water into synthetic wine in 15 minutes. It smells like shark pool, but synthetic enology will be a thing. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2088322-synthetic-wine-made-without-grapes-claims-to-mimic-fine-vintages
Bento Lab: A DNA laboratory for everybody
27 hours to go and 95 backers missing to unlock the BeerDeCoded Kit stretch goal. Can you help the folks at Bento.bio with a $1 pledge? http://kck.st/1LDZTp4

This is exciting. We will develop a kit to decode beer for any Bento Lab user if their campaign reaches 700 backers. We count already 509 ones and 8 days to go.

Good morning London, this sounds like a nice project for the summer.

<< Think about it: Not everybody likes a bitter India pale ale, even though it's the most popular craft beer style in America. Others live for a decadent dessert at the end of a meal, but some don't like sweets in general. "Once you understand how things work, you can ask, 'How are things working for me?' says Nicole Garneau, a geneticist and researcher at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. "And that's one of the most interesting things to me is that everybody is unique." Why certain flavors are satisfying and others repulsive remains a scientific puzzle. The question drives Garneau's work at the museum's Genetics of Taste Lab. To get answers, she devised a novel crowdsourced research study that will draw more than 400 people to the museum Friday for a scientific taste test. The goal is to examine a new model of study — which Garneau calls "crowdtasting" — and collect survey data on favorite tastes for beer, food and pairings." http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29671393/science-behind-why-you-like-or-hate-taste
Kickstarter
The Bento Lab, the portable laboratory we have been testing for our beer analyses is now on Kickstarter. Check out the video, and get a glimpse on the beers that we are currently analysing.
