Summary "The Theory and Practice of Brewing" by Michael Combrune is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This comprehensive treatise delves into the principles of brewing, emphasizing both the theoretical and practical aspects of the craft. Combrune seeks to establish brewing practices on solid scientific foundations rather than vague traditions, offering insights into the chemistry of beer making. The opening of the book introduces the author's motivations for writing the treatise, noting the lack of clear principles guiding brewing at the time. Combrune discusses the importance of establishing a reliable practice, highlighting the role of experimentation and the need for a better understanding of the ingredients involved, particularly fire, air, and water. The early sections lay out the groundwork for the various elements that influence the brewing process, all while addressing the historical reliance on traditional methods without the backing of scientific inquiry. This foundation sets the stage for a systematic exploration of brewing that will follow in subsequent sections. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
