Here's the word for the day.
zy·mol·ogy (zī mäl′ə jē)
noun
Zymurgy or zymology is the study of fermentation. The word was originally used to describe the science involved in these processes but it has since become more broadly used to describe the brewing of alcoholic beverages. A zymurgist (or zymologist) is one who studies zymurgy.
zymological (zy′mo·log′i·cal)
(a.) Of or pertaining to zymology.
