Lager is the most popular beer style around the world. But how many times have we heard brewers tell us they are difficult to produce? Sensory defects cannot be masked by the complex flavors of malt and hops. To help you craft consistent and high-quality lagers, we combined our team’s expertise in this free technical paper.

Wheat Beer SolutionsWheat beer is one of the oldest beer styles, dating back thousands of years. Wheat malt and unmalted flaked wheat impart unique characteristics to these styles such as increased body, a creamy mouthfeel, improved foam stability, and haze. There are many varieties of wheat beer that range in color from white to black, and alcohol content from 3-10% ABV. Within this diversity of styles, most wheat beer styles are united by the flavors imparted by specific yeast strains, notably banana (isoamyl acetate) and clove (4-vinyl-guaiacol, or 4VG).
Yeast nutrition fundamentalsYeast nutrients are a major factor of influence on overall health and fermentation performance. By adding nutrients, one can “improve alcohol yield, reduce fermentation time, enhance yeast viability and vitality, and increase diacetyl removal, as well as control undesirable flavor compounds”.
