Rum Babel Fish

Follow along: IG @birectifier

Long ago I wanted to develop a continuous time line of the technical history of rum production beginning with the Great Agricola, W.F. Whitehouse and ending with Fahrasmane and the INRA. These papers do not represent all of the continuous time line, but rather just the translations and a few extras from the time period I worked on this. There are tons more papers if you go further back.

Eventually, I’ll try to update this with bibliographies specifically looking at Rum Oil and Schizosaccharomyces Pombe yeast.

Much of this was synthesized in this presentation:

Operation Rum Babel Fish began after discovering Olbrich in the 1975 Rum Symposium when I realized that many of the best works would have to be translated.

7/23/17 Hubert Von Olbrich, Über rum completeist \m/(-.-)\m/

11/26/17 Operation Rum Babelfish, A bibliography

I had known of Fahrasmane for a while, but finally discovered the INRA bibliography and proceeded to track down a lot of the citations.
