Episode 069: Diastaticus - Part 2

Over-carbonation. Exploding bottles. Lawsuits. Super-attenuation caused by diastaticus contamination is a hot topic in the brewing industry. We bring you interviews with brewers, yeast suppliers, and independent microbiologists to talk about detection, prevention, and more. Whether your strategy is to keep diastaticus out of your brewery altogether or to manage it alongside other Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains lacking the STA gene, you're guaranteed to learn something from these interviews.

Special Guests: Andy Tveekrem, Matt Linske, Matthew Peetz, Michelle McHugh, Sylvie Van Zandycke, Tobias Fischborn, and Wade Begrow.
