3.4.4 - Yeast Propagation (Laboratory Stages)

Propagation of brewing yeast strains from stock cultures to obtain sufficient yeast to pitch the first propagation tank in the brewery. As the objective is to produce large numbers of yeast cells (not to produce beer), the propagation conditions are more flexible than in brewery fermentation, so general guidelines, as well as a standard protocol as a guide are provided. Descriptors: laboratory storage.

The determination of the percentage of cells in a yeast culture which are respiratory deficient (known as “petite mutants”, or simply “petites”). Descriptors: detection and enumeration of respiratory deficient mutants, deficiency in metabolism, low yield of biomass, diacetyl formation.

3.5.2 - Yeast Characterisation by Fermentation in EBC Tall Tubes

This technique allows the prediction and evaluation of the stability of brewing characteristics in a strain of yeast, and also permits the study of the influence of certain technological parameters on its behaviour in fermenter. It can also be used to assess the characteristics of newly isolated yeast cultures. Descriptors: yeast characterisation by fermentation in EBC Tall Tubes.
