What we will NOT do today
• We will not tell you step by step how to treat every yeast and fermentation issue
• We will not tell you “this is the only way to do…”
• We will not stop saying ‘it depends’

Saccharomyces cerevisiae • One of the oldest domesticated organisms
– Used for brewing beer in Sumeria and Babylonia around 6000 BC
• Saccharomyces = sugar fungus; cerevisiae = Roman God of crops – Ceres
• Used as a eukaryotic model organism– Unicellular, doesn’t need a lot of room to grow,
eukaryotic can be applicable to humans– 1st genome to ever be sequenced in 1996

Yeast Used in BrewingAll yeast used in brewing worldwide is non-GMO
Ale Yeast• Original brewing strain -
Saccharomyces cerevisiae• Top ferment• Warmer fermentation temps• Wide strain variety
Lager Yeast• Natural hybrid -
*Saccharomyces pastorianus(Saccharomyces carlsbergensis)
• Bottom ferment• Colder fermentation temps• Limited strain variety
Other Strains• Saccharomyces uvarum• Saccharomyces bayanus• Saccharomyces eubayanus
*Saccharomyces pastorianus = Saccharomyces cerevisiae + Saccharomyces eubayanus.

Why are Strains so Important:Flavor
• Alcohol
• Higher (fusel ) alcohols
• Esters
• Diacetyl
• Sulfur
• Acetaldehyde
• Phenolic compounds
*Different Yeast strains make different amountsDifferent Beers often require different yeast strains

In the beginning……
• Laboratories for commercial yeast did not exist
• Brewing strains were created by brewers by:– Continuing to use strains that
performed well and tasted good
– Passing strains to brewer to brewer

Step 1: Initial Culture Storage
• Freezes - critical• Plates/slants• Working plates
Yeast must be stored properly for a long, long time

Controlling Fermentations
• What can you do to help your fermentations?– Healthy yeast – Temperature control– Good aeration – Good sanitation– Take some data points!

Healthy Yeast
• We want good viability! (>80% alive)• Starter or no starter? • Keep yeast in fridge 2-4C • No freezing!

Making A Starter
• Add 1 Purepitch to 1L of 8-10P boiled wort. • 24 - 48 hours on a stir plate. • 48 hours with no stir plate. • Refrigerate if not using it immediately

Temperature Control
• Pick an appropriate yeast strain for what you can achieve
• Invest in temperature control supplies • Watch temperature the first 72 hours• Keeping it cool will help prevent many off
flavors

Aeration
Yeast need at least 8-13ppm of oxygen in the wort
How do I ensure this in my homebrew? - Use an aeration stone for at least 60sec per
20L- Shaking is usually not enough!

Methods for OxygenationHomebrewers
Fish Pump: Inserting a sanitized fish pump to a carboy can be a viable option for aeration. A sterile filter pictured here needs to be used. Typically aerating for 5-10 minutes
Shaking: A beginner’s method of aerating 20L carboy is to shake the carboy for several minutes. The amount of dissolved oxygen will depend on the amount of headspace in the carboy
Splashing: A method for beginners on a budget. Attached to the end of the hose filling the carboy.
Aeration Stone: Attach the stone to an oxygen tank. 60 seconds for 5gal (20L) is typically sufficient for homebrewing

Sanitation
• Cleanliness is important! • Clean, Sanitize, Sterilize
– Soap/Detergent Scrub– Caustic Soak– Acid Soak

Cleaning & SanitizingCleaning is necessary to sanitize
something
Difficult to keep things sanitized when you brew outside
- Avoid air drafts - Change sanitizer buckets often - Make sure you’re using the correct amounts of chemicals and temperatures

Monitoring pH
• Monitoring the pH of your wort can help predict the outcome of the fermentation– Reduction in pH = fermentation is happening – Reduction of pH too low = possible contamination
issues. Typically below < 3.0

Acid Washing- To do or not to do?
• Acid washing only reduces bacteria
• Harsh on the yeast - typically reduces viability and performance
• Will not reduce wild yeast
33
Protocol - Keep yeast at 2-4C- Add food grade
phosphoric acid until yeast is at 2.0-2.5 pH
- Mix for 60-90 minutes
- Add to fermentor(cold)
