Yeast Metabolism and Flavor Impact

Erik Fowler, Education & Engagement Manager at White Labs, was our guest speaker for a webinar on yeast metabolism on July 23. In this webinar, Fowler reviews the major metabolites produced by yeast-like diacetyl, esters, and phenols. He discusses how these compounds are formed, when they’re desired in beer, and when they’re not, how to control them.
