Reviewer 2 Report
The authors describe an interesting and novel research into the changes during artisanal fermentation of Cameroon beer.
The following changes are required:
Line 12: Is it really the main consumed drink? Consider drinking water, tea, coffee etc
Line 69: Is “leaven” a word?
Line 102: add references for previous studies
Section 2.4.: add more details, weights, voluminal etc. The processing method must be replicable.
Line 135: use decimal point not comma
Materials and methods throughout: please give city/country for all suppliers/manufacturers
Throughout: check author guideline for intext references (should be numbered consecutively, not author/date)
Line 320: Mycotoxins as potential impurities in African beers could be discussed. Check Okaru et al. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0956713517301913
