Clever! I can see winemakers and brewers getting their computer files all mixed up, though. ;-)

I was introduced to this wonderful word by a colleague in Cleveland. Alcohol, of course, is not the only thing that broods away – brewing, bubbling and generally fermenting. Ideas do that too. And so, like my colleague, I now have an email folder called Zymurgy and a computer file folder called Zymurgy. Sure beats "Miscellaneous". Better still, it always sits neatly at the bottom of any alphabetically sorted list!
