Thiol biotransformation is a key focus in hop-forward brewing. Yet, chasing thiol yield alone can lead to unintended trade-offs in your final beer.
Join us for this webinar, where we take a step back and look at thiols in context, exploring how fermentation conditions and yeast choices shape thiol release and the overall balance of your beer.
For this session, we welcome special guests: Dr. Cécile Chenot, postdoctoral researcher at the Shellhammer Lab, and Dr. Thomas Shellhammer, Nor’Wester Professor of Fermentation Science at OSU. They will guide you through this presentation and be available to answer your questions.
This webinar will cover
• How fermentation temperature impacts thiol expression
• The role of nitrogen availability in biotransformation
• How yeast strain selection influences thiol vs. ester balance
• Why optimizing for thiols alone may affect overall beer character
