Fermentation Society Members will also receive a spooky sticker with their order, available now on Yeastman.com!!⚡️
Nutrients & Nitrogen 💊 Yeast need sufficient nitrogen to carry out fermentation efficiently, and lower than optimal levels can inhibit this process. The presence of FAN in a beer affects vital aspects such as fermentation rate, attenuation, aroma, and yeast vitality.

Just casually taking glam shots of yeast, no big deal 📸
Can you guess which strain is down the lens? Here’s a clue: We go hazy for this strain 🤩 Hailing from across the pond, this yeast is known for its grapefruit🍊 and pineapple 🍍aromas!
It’s also readily available to be shipped as early as the same day or the next! 😉
😁Keep Yeast Happy! Our R&D department researched some of our top strains on the impact of osmotic and organic acid stress 🤯
By screening for this, we can help brewers make more educated decisions on more robust strains needed for particular brews 🍻 Read more at https://www.whitelabs.com/news-update-detail?id=131 🔗

For the final plate 🍽️ of the month, we’re recapping some of the common brewery media types 🧫. Check out the newest blog at whitelabs.com!
*There are plenty more microbiological plates and medias out there. Find one that suits your brewhouse needs 👍

Did you know? Not only can you be selective with different types of microbiological plates 🧫. Promotion of this selectivity can be enhanced by incubating under aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
🗺️To grasp a full picture of a mixed culture, we plate on all different types of media as well as incubate under both conditions to promote certain types of organism growth.
🔬Check out LS6725 Mixed Culture Isolations at whitelabs.com under our analytical lab services. To learn more about this complex testing!

Plate, plate, plate 🧫! Just like brewing, there are multiple ways and methods to plate to help identify brewery organisms. Each has its own pros and cons. Is there a certain plating method that you prefer? 🤔

🧫Here’s our favorite media to get started for a QA/QC microbiology program! HLP is great place to start, as no autoclaving is needed and it detects two very common beer spoilers, Lactobacillus and Pedioccous.

🔬Blends are great for adding unique and more complex flavors and helping some fermentation problems, such as combining alcohol-tolerant strains with strains of a specific flavor profile, increasing attenuation to finish a beer, or even helping with the conditioning aspects, such as flocculation!
🥼Check out our new blog about blends from Chris White, and let us know your favorite blend in the comments!

🥼Aseptic practice can also be done in the brew house🍻. Be cautious of what is around the flame 🔥 when using a blowtorch. As well as clean the area and close any high traffic flows when taking the sample 🧫
*We like to put a butterfly value before the zwickel for easy switching for positive hits on the zwickel itself 👍

Do you have a dedicated lab area? If you’re building out a Micro QA/QC program🧫, aseptic technique is crucial!
Find a nice secluded tabletop area free of high traffic or errant air flows. Work as close to the flame 🔥 as possible and limit outside exposure.

🔬What’s your favorite farmhouse strains? Since our partnership with The Yeast Bay, We have even more Kveik, Lithuanian, and Farmhouse strains for your brewing pleasure. ☀️Perfect for a good ol free rise in this hot weather!
This culture is a single strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, isolated from a Lithuanian Farmhouse mixed culture kindly provided by Julius Simonaitis via Lars Garshol. This culture throws a potent mix of 🍊orange, 🌴tropical fruit and 🍑stone fruit esters accompanied by spicy, earthy and herbal undertones.
🍻Brew with WLP4046 at Yeastman.com, or check out our beer data sheet at Whitelabsbrewingco.com!
Quick & Easy Way For Sterilizing
What’s the difference between sanitizing and sterilizing? 🧫 Sanitation is great for brewing but not enough when working with pure cultures or doing microbiological tests.
Even if you don’t have a huge autoclave, there are alternatives that can be used to create your own small microbiological QA/QC lab. It's best practice to validate the sterilization with swab plating and other means.
*Look for canning/stovetop autoclaves, that can exceed 1 bar (15psi)

Diacetyl Testing
🍿Ever wonder how sensory threshold numbers are quantified? VDK numbers can be correlated with sensory results to help standardize and set a baseline for beers and sensory panelists🧑🔬.
Some gas chromatographs even have an olfactory detector where you can smell and characterize the peaks as they elute 👃
Test your beer for VDKs( Diacetyl & 2,3 Pentanedione) today at whitelabs.com!
