Will Deutschman

I'm a college professor with expertise in biochemistry who gave up doing 'hardcore' biochemistry for brewing science research a few years back. Now I study yeast metabolism and sugar mobilization in malt. Working with students, we have been able to present our findings at professional conferences like the World Brewing Congress and American Society of Brewing Chemists annual meetings. Introducing students to the science behind beer is one of my favorite things to do in the world.

Outside of my "professional" life, I'm a BJCP certified judge, I bike and ski everywhere at every chance I get, and after a day of that, love chilling on the couch with my 2 dogs and 1 cat.

I also salve my need for intellectual challenge by designing and building fun brewing related projects, the best of which is my 100% solar powered brewing setup. #NerdAlert.

If you have not read part 1, I would encourage you to, as there is some important context…

In this part of the series, I want to share with you my process of learning about naltrexone…

Part 1 of a 3 part series Read the complete story of Will’s Journey to overcome alcohol addiction without completely giving it up. Let’s just start with the obligatory statement: Hello, my name is Will and I’m an alcoholic. It took me a long time to be able to say that to myself, and an even longer time to see a path forward for myself after making that admission. Why did it take so long? I’m sure it’s never easy for anyone who has to…
