To understand the causes of natural phenomena is a major objective of all scientists, and one in which Horace Brown succeeded to a greater degree than most. He was concerned with almost all aspects of the brewing process, and, as a bonus, his brewing studies led him to enunciate laws of general scientific applicability. His classic work on the physiology of germination, carried out in the 1890's, is still largely valid, and some problems which he recognized still await satisfactory solutions.
