The Fermentis team is pleased to invite you to this edition of the Fermentis Academy sponsored by BSG at Wellington Brewery on October 8th. Throughout the day, from 8:30 am to 5:00pm, we’ll be there to interact with you and answer questions about yeasts and fermentation. Our aim: To help you as a brewer create the beer you want by better understanding yeasts and the fermentation process.

The program of lectures includes the following topics:

- Yeast taxonomy: Yeast in the Fungi Kingdom, evolution of beer strains and the domestication process, industrial strains and yeast phylogeny. New perspectives on yeast development, non-saccharomyces yeasts, diastaticus and POF+ strains.

- Yeasts and beer diversity: How yeasts impact beers. Beer yeast characterization, sugar fermentation, flocculation, alcohol resistance, volatile compounds production and flavor expression, and how they are affected by different fermentation parameters. Interaction of yeasts with other ingredients. Action of yeasts on hop compounds.

- Yeast management in breweries: Different yeast management strategies. Active dry yeast production process. Viability and shelf life of active dry yeast and E2U concept. Basics of propagation, yeast recycling and multiple yeast use in craft breweries. Cross contaminations within plants with other commercial or wild yeasts strains. Diastaticus strains.

- Yeast quality: Quality control of Fermentis yeast. How to minimize risks in plants.

- Latest research and information on our yeast strains: Applied research on NEIPA, Brut IPA, SafLager W-34/70 and SafAle BE-256.

After the class, you are invited to join us from 5pm to 7pm for a social gathering in the Wellington Brewery taproom to share beers and appetizers. This is a great way to finish the day after the seminar!
