Description
Building on the success of the first edition, Brewing YeastFermentation Performance, Second edition considers theimportance of yeast quality on fermentation performance and themeans by which process control may therefore be achieved.
Contributions from leading international brewing technologistsfrom industry, research institutes and academia ensure that thecoverage is practically oriented, commercially relevant andacademically rigorous. Contents include up-to-date coverage of keyaspects of the subject, including molecular innovations, yeaststress responses, wort composition, yeast quality, beer flavourdevelopment and yeast handling.
Brewing Yeast Fermentation Performance is an essentialpurchase for commercial brewers at all levels, technical personneland allied traders associated with the brewing industry. It is anexcellent companion reference source to the first edition, coveringcomplimentary topics that no one connected to the brewing industrycan afford to be without. Libraries in universities and researchestablishments where food and beverage science and technology andmicrobiology are studied and taught should have multiple copies ontheir shelves.
