Fermentation kinetics info resources?

Mirin

Howdy all,

Recently I have dabbled in homebrewing mead and it turned out... drinkable at best. I am making another batch soon and want to improve my methods. I am a nuclear engineering student, so naturally I feel that something as personal, liberating, and chemically miraculous as homebrewing should be reduced to a system of simplified coupled differential equations. Sad, I know.

Can anyone point me to a resource (article, presentation, textbook) that describes fermentaion mathematically?

Perhaps try your luck here: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=468902

While this is in General Discussion, many involved are quite good at math

Thank you, if I don't get any more bites here I will move the post to that thread
