Abstract
Abstract A novel high-density yeast propagation system has been developed, which produced yeast that performed as well as cropped yeast in commercial brewery trials. This process is capable of producing yeast concentrations 13 times greater than traditional yeast propagation approaches used in breweries to date. The system is based on a controlled fed-batch yeast fermentation, which can produce pitching yeast in as little as 24 h. A demonstrator plant was installed in a regional brewery and yeast produced from the test-platform was used to pitch commercial brews. Plant-scale trials have shown that the yeast propagated using this new system had the same fermentation profile compared to control fermentations that used cropped yeast. Volatile analysis showed no significant difference between the control and experimental beers. The experimental beers tasted true-to-type and were released to trade. The new process allows for smaller pitching volumes while maintaining overall beer quality.
