The Brü Lab

Dr. Nazarena Cela, Research Fellow at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Bisaccia, Italy, joins Cade in the lab this week to discuss the work she's done on brewing gluten-reduced beers with sorghum and quinoa, as well as the impact protein rests have when using these grains. The Brü Lab is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.

Analytical chemist Kira Feuss and QA Principal Scientist Stacey Williams from New Belgium Brewing discuss the impact of Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) on beer flavor stability. They explore FAN sources, yeast interactions, and sensory attributes related to FAN content. The conversation includes the formation of Strecker aldehydes, sensory panel training for flavor evaluation, and collaborative research efforts to enhance beer quality and flavor stability.

Dr. Laura Burns from Omega Yeast discusses attenuation with Cade, covering topics like measuring attenuation, apparent versus real attenuation, yeast genetics, optimizing fermentation, yeast adaptation, and genetic changes. The conversation emphasizes the crucial link between genetic modifications in yeast and the optimal production of alcohol and CO2 in brewing, as well as the importance of consistency and control in attenuation for brewing practices.
