Impact of Brew House Parameters on Beer Aging: Mapping the German Brewery Landscape
Flavor instability of pale lager beer remains one of the greatest challenges for breweries, regardless of their size. While factors such as heat stress, oxygen exposure, and yeast vitality have been extensively explored, the influence of brewhouse materials on the concentration of aging indicators at a real-life scale remains an understudied aspect. This research by Florian Lehnhardt et al. delves into the intricate relationship between different brewing techniques and aroma-relevant aldehydes, aiming to uncover their potential impact on the flavor instability of beer.
