Your yeast are your hardest working employees, but how regularly do you check in and listen to their concerns? Beyond cell and viability counts, sensory data from your brewery provides a unique insight into your yeast if you know when to sample and what to look for. In this seminar, we explore which off flavors are associated with yeast health and fermentation issues, potential causes of yeast off flavors in your brewing process, and recipe design considerations to dial in yeast health and wellness.
