Sample text

Just as the early farmers selected a vine for cultivation that was more productive than the wild variety, so in the case of cereals, higher yielding varieties were chosen. In this case the selection was probably entirely accidental. The seeds of wild cereals are easily removed from the stem and dispersed by the wind, but in some plants there is a genetic trait in which the seeds are more firmly attached to the plant. When humans began to collect and sow seeds, more of the firmly attached seeds would have been available for collection, and gradually this gene would have predominated in the cultivated cereals.

The boiled wort had to be cooled before fermentation could commence, and traditionally this had been done by simply allowing the liquid to cool in open vessels, with the consequence that in the warmer summer months there was a greater danger that spoilage would occur at this stage. Interestingly, one of the important contributors to the science of thermodynamics, which provides the theoretical basis for refrigeration, was James Prescott Joule (1818–1889), who was born into a brewing family and worked in his private laboratory adjacent to the brewery in Manchester.

The production of wine implies the deliberate cultivation of grapes, and an important early development must have been the selection of a suitable variety of vine. Plants of the wild grapevine, Vitis vinifera sylvestris, carry either male or female flowers, and pollination of the female flowers would therefore be a somewhat chancy business. It is surmised that one or more of the early grape growers noticed a vine that produced grapes much more consistently than was usual. This would have been a mutant that produced both male and female flowers, and was thus self-pollinating.
