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.

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”.
