Zilla Labs ALDC stops buttery diacetyl off-flavours before they start, so you can skip the diacetyl rest and have your beer ready sooner.
How it works
During fermentation yeast produces alpha-acetolactate, which normally breaks down into diacetyl. ALDC converts it straight into acetoin instead. Acetoin and its by-product 2,3-butanediol have very high flavour thresholds, so you won’t notice them in the finished beer.
Benefits
- Prevents buttery diacetyl flavours in lagers and ales
- No need to raise the temperature for a diacetyl rest at the end of fermentation
- Shorter maturation times
How to use
- Add 0.5mL per 23L batch at yeast pitch
- 30mL treats around 60 batches
Storage
Store at 0–10°C, away from direct sunlight.
