Beer-making is not big business in Modesto, but I still wanted to pass along an e-mail from UC Davis about, of all things, beer foam. Brewing scientist Charles Bamforth has written a book called "Foam," part of a series on the key elements of beer. Here's the e-mail:
Foam capping a glass of beer is not just a frothy byproduct of the brewing process but a key component of beer quality and consumer satisfaction, writes highly acclaimed brewing scientist Charles Bamforth of the University of California, Davis, in a new book, “Foam.”
The Modesto Irrigation District board on Tuesday will talk about selling water to San Francisco for $700 an acre-foot. And about raising water rates for its farmers by less than a buck per acre-foot. Is it possible that water can be so costly for one buyer but so cheap for another? Yes it can, because the city can spread the cost among 2.5 million Bay Area residents and already has a system that delivers Tuolumne River water. More details are in a story we're planning to run Sunday. And stay tuned for coverage of Tuesday's meeting, where things will no doubt get interesting.
