About this Event
Join the Lallemand BrewEd Biotransformation & Sensory Session
From yeast to glass. An afternoon of expert-led sessions and hands-on sensory training designed for professional brewers.
What to Expect
Biotransformation 101: Understand what biotransformation actually is: thiols, terpenes, glycosides, and how yeast unlocks hop character that hopping alone cannot reach. Led by the Lallemand Brewing team and special guest Richard Preiss, co-founder of Escarpment Laboratories.
Hands-On Sensory Training: Participate in guided sensory exercises that explore key aroma and flavor compounds associated with biotransformation and hop expression.
Connect with Fellow Brewers: Continue the conversation during a post-session happy hour, including a hazy IPA brewed by Border Brewing with WLP079 Suava Ale Yeast, a White Labs strain selected by Escarpment Laboratories and produced by Lallemand Brewing.
Why Attend?
- An afternoon of technical education tailored for brewing professionals.
- Hands-on sensory training with reference compounds.
- Network with peers and industry experts.
- Includes food, a beer for happy hour, and plenty of opportunities for discussion.
