　　Gravis Berling watched the bubbles rise in his glass of ale. Being a Berling, he was born and bred for genius and knew that gas was created during the fermentation process. Humans didn`t understand the process, but then humans didn`t comprehend much. They left the brewing of ale to their wives. These women—these alewives—who had the audacity to add hops to their family recipes then call the it bier, or beer as if they invented the idea, still had no idea what turned wort into the effervescent amber drink. For them that brewed it, the magic was in the family ale stick that their mother and grandmother handed down. Daughters were told to only use the magic stick to stir the wort. What they didn`t know—what they still didn`t know—is that the stick was caked with yeast from all the other previous worts, and that was the magic that got the fermentation process rolling. Since yeast comes in an infinite variety and since it influences taste, this, and the family recipe for gruit, was the secret to making the family drink whether it be ale or beer. Fermentation was an old word, a Dromeian word—Gravis was certain of that, too—and that term described how yeast consumed sugar. The process produced alcohol and gas. The gas appeared in any fermentation and it was what formed the holes in spongy bread and put the bubbles in Gravis`s ale.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
