Days 15 & 16

Day 15… Today we traveled to Brussels. We arrived midafternoon and quickly found our hotel. Brussels seems to be a little crazier to me than Germany. While on the train we completed two more activities. We learned about fermentation and priming of beer. While in fermentation the yeast breaks down the fermentable sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

Day 16… Today we woke up for a tour of the city. We learned about the pissing child statue. It is said that he peed on a bomb which saved a government building from blowing up. But this is just one story about the statue, so it may only be a myth. After lunch we went on a tour at Cantillon a local Lambic brewery. They only use natural yeast in their fermentation process. We also experienced a crowded subway. It was crazy how full it was.
