Simple Brewing Science : Basic Molecular Components

http://immaculatebrewery.com/basic-molecular-components/

So I'm going to be doing this series of posts on and off. The basic idea is that I'd like for brewers from any background to be able to understand what's going on with the chemistry behind the hobby we love. Basically everything that I had wished the Chemistry of Brewing class OU did online could have been, but approachable by anyone. So, we're starting really simple today with basic molecular components. That may be boring to some of you, but I think it's important to build up a good foundation and work up from there.
After a couple of these posts (or maybe even after this one), I'd like to do a couple of "Simple Science Study Halls" where I do Q&A from you guys and gals on the posted topic. I really want to help anyone who's interested in learning this stuff to be able to learn it.

He's a witch! He's a witch! (in response to the last pictures...)

Well done sir.

When I load the page it doesn't show pictures. I don't have time to read the whole thing at this time but I will be back. I like what's been put up so far!

Lemme guess ... you're on a Mac? I got wind of this today. I don't have one to test on, but it seems Safari doesn't support WebP images, so that's why the pics are MIA. I'm working on a long term fix for that. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yeah, no pics on my iOS Safari
