Building on the success of the first edition, Brewing Yeast Fermentation Performance, Second Edition considers the importance of yeast quality on fermentation performance and the means by which process control may be achieved.
Contributions from leading international brewing technologists from industry, research institutes and academia ensure that the coverage is practically oriented, commercially relevant and academically rigorous.
Includes up-to-date coverage of key aspects of the subject, including:
- molecular innovations
- yeasts stress responses
- wort composition
- yeast quality
- beer flavor development
- yeast handling
Brewing Yeast Fermentation Performance is an essential purchase for commercial brewers at all levels, technical personnel and allied traders associated with the brewing industry.
