Effectively Using Technology in the Brewing Process

How are breweries making decisions based on data? Brewing is still very hands on and it’s also artistic and creative, but there are benefits to using tech to help the process and get insight into how to run things efficiently. To examine this a bit more, John Holl is joined by Dustin Jeffers the VP of Producer Product at Next Glass, the parent company of brands like Ekos, Ollie, Untappd, and Hop Culture and Teddy Gowan the Vice President of Brewing Operations at Societe Brewing in San Diego.

Berkeley Yeast
Our Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It’s super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don’t have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.
