Yeast Management Best Practices

Working on improving your yeast re-pitching program, but running up against issues with dry hop timing or hop creep?

We can help! We will break this talk into two camps: team early dry hop and team late dry hop. We'll cover effective strategies for repitching yeast in both scenarios, the benefits and drawbacks to each approach.

Not only is yeast repitching a challenge in dry hopped beers, but so is dry hop creep. We will share two simple quality control assays to measure hop diastase activity and help predict the impact of hop creep on the final finishing gravity. We’ll also cover strategies to avoid extended tank time and potential quality issues with hop creep.

Brewers will leave this seminar with tips to maximize their yeast repitching program and reduce hang-ups and off-flavors in the cellar when making dry-hopped beers.
