Louis Pasteur probably carried out these experiments with beer in the first half of 1871 at the Kuhn Brewery in Clermont-Ferrand. This note is part of a series of investigations which would form the basis of Études sur la bière (1876), a rousing tract that furthered the study of fermentation and argued for better nationalism through chemistry. The notes are in French, but each page has an English translation. Title supplied by cataloger. Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization. HM 80961-80968.
