Description
It is relatively easy to ensure “Taproom Fresh” beer. But what happens to your product after it leaves the brewery? Do you know what causes the changes and how you can influence the rate of change in flavor profile? This lecture explains the changes over time, the main culprits, and how the brewer can find means to make it more stable.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the change of key flavors in finished beer over time
- Name the key types of chemical compounds associated with this flavor change
- Provide specific formulation and process steps that help or hinder flavor stability
