Join us for an afternoon exploring practical tips on how yeast selection can influence beer recipes and improve efficiency with a focus on biotransformation. Learn how to get the best out of your yeast and hop combinations and come away with a more in-depth knowledge of how yeast can facilitate biotransformation efficiency. This session will explore the interactions between yeast and thiol compounds with a hands-on sensory session. We will also cover how yeast selection can assist in hop efficiency. The seminar will end with a discussion on yeast innovation and a beer made with an exclusive new strain. Come get all of your questions about how to get the most out of biotransformation in your brewery answered!
