Yeast: More than Alcohol Producers
Industry Seminar – Winemaking
Location: Hyatt Regency Austin
Although we rely on wine yeast to convert the available sugar to ethanol with minimal sensory deviations, their capabilities far extend this basic task.
During this session we will hear how wine yeast can influence the aromatic potential of your wine and how they can metabolize malic acid to various degrees. We will also examine yeast lees and discuss how they can influence wine flavor and stability.
