The remarkable stability of dry yeast allows for significant QC testing in order to ensure less than 1 bacterium or wild yeast cell detected per million cells of brewing yeast. For most strains, 1g of dry yeast contains a minimum of 5 billion viable cells, but the number will vary slightly from batch to batch.

Recent research is uncovering how different yeast strains can influence flavor and aroma by interacting with specific hop-derived flavor compounds, a process called biotransformation. Non-aromatic compounds derived from hops are transformed by yeast enzymes to release aromatic flavor compounds in the beer.

Brut IPA is a beer style honouring characteristics from one of the world’s best-loved sparkling wines, Champagne. “Brut” is one of the driest forms of champagne wine and heavily influences the conventions of this modern IPA; pale in colour, dry finish and highly aromatic. Residual sugars, malt character, and complexity are not desired but an extra dry finish is complimented with a highly intense aroma, derived from significant late and dry hop additions whilst minimizing bitterness. The key and defining character of the Brut IPA is full attenuation, which can be achieved with the addition of ABV Glucoamylase 400 (AMG enzyme) throughout the brewing process as per our recommended procedure below.

Prior to drying, the yeast is conditioned to be resistant to dehydration and rehydration. Nevertheless, some weaker cells are killed during the drying process. A typical dry yeast sample contains 60-80% viable cells and the remaining dead yeast cells contribute additional sterols, nitrogen, vitamins, and minerals to aid the fermentation.

Hard seltzer is produced from a sugar-based fermentation that produces a neutral alcohol base that is often flavored with fruit or other aromatics. There are many different strategies for producing hard seltzer depending on the priorities of the brewer. This best practices document covers the following sections: “Choose your strategy”, “choose the sugar source”, “Control the pH”, “Protect the Yeast”, “Feed the yeas with protocol and typical results”, “Optimize the fermentation”, “Filtration, dilution and flavoring”.
