Yeast!

Converts sweet wort into beer. Yeast consume the sugar in wort, and turn it into CO2, alcohol, and flavour compounds.

Yeast have the potential to contribute more unique flavors to your beer—both good and bad—than any other ingredient.

We didn't know it existed until 1857 when Pasteur discovered it's role as a living organism.
