I'm sorry to report that George Fix passed away yesterday from complications of the cancer that he had been fighting during the past year. George was the leading light of homebrew science during its apogee in the 1990s and had an insatiable interest in brewing as well as the generosity to share what he knew and learned with all who might be interested. George was a good man and his loss will be felt in brewing for many years to come.
