In this episode, we’re looking at the science behind cider making and apple growing. We start with a chemistry lesson on fermentation and assess how microscopic organisms affect cider’s taste. Then we pay a visit to Cornell University to explore the cutting edge of horticulture, where scientists seeking to increase yield and combat climate change are assembling the building blocks to breed the apple of the future.
