Yeast

Yeast is a single-celled microscopic fungus that scientists call a "microorganism". This cell is shaped like an egg and is only visible under a microscope as it is no more than 6 to 8 mm in size. The yeast most commonly known is called Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Saccharo from the sugar and Myces from the fungus. The word cerevisiae that identifies the genus of yeast comes from the Gaelic name cervoise, meaning beer.

Hops

The hop flowers give the beer aroma, flavour and the characteristic bitterness. Its Latin name is HUMULUS lupulus (Hops). It is a member of the Hops family. It is known by the names Hops, Hops, Hops or Wild Hops. It is a well-known climbing hop plant that thrives throughout Europe. It is a perennial poa with angular, hollow, climbing stems and can grow up to 6 metres. Leaves are oppositely distributed, consisting of 3 to 7 toothed lobes. The flowers are borne separately in female, whorled flowers, which are covered with a fine powder, and male flowers in small clusters on the same plant. The strobilocones are used in pharmacy, and also in beer production as a main flavouring and preservative (300 grams in a ton of beer). In brewing, the female is used and is used as a natural preservative
