Yeast Vitality—A Holistic Approach toward an Integrated Solution to Predict Yeast Performance

&
Pages 202-207 | Published online: 01 Feb 2018
 

Abstract

The underlying philosophy behind yeast vitality tests has been reconsidered and a new holistic approach proposed to predict brewing yeast fermentation performance. In this holistic approach, special emphasis is placed on the impact of yeast physiology when combined with varying growth media. Two methods of applying this approach are described, and a “lowtech” (quartets) approach that can be applied readily in commercial breweries is recommended.

RESUMEN

La filosofía subyacente detrás de pruebas de la vitalidad de la levadura se ha reconsiderado y un nuevo enfoque holístico se ha propuesto para predecir el rendimiento de la fermentación de levadura cervecero. En este enfoque holístico, el énfasis especial se pone en el impacto de la fisiología de levadura cuando está combinado con varias tipos de medio de cultivo. Dos métodos de aplicar este enfoque se describen, y se recomienda un enfoque menos tecnología (cuartetos) que se puede aplicar fácilmente en cervecerías comerciales.
