I'm looking for the source of some "information" I have rattling around in my head.... I need something more solid that "some guy at the pub/on a forum said X"
The "information" is a quote along the lines of "Yeast can produce thousands more of flavour compounds - way more than grapes can" etc.
I think, more specifically, i'm thinking of a set of stats that went something like - "you can get 10 flavour compounds from malt, 100 from hops, 300 from grapes, but 1000 from yeast" - (but I made those numbers up, obviously - and I know that this thread is already going to derail in an exciting way... but oh well).
But I can't find a source for this at all - my Google-fu has failed me.
Does anyone know the actual source for this info? Or have I just made shit up in my head and then convinced myself that I've read it?
