Debittered yeast

Oct 17, 2019

After the beer fermentation, the yeast cream is collected and passed through a sieve to collect the brewer yeast content. This treatment does not however remove the beer flavour compounds responsible for the beer (hops) bitter taste. Some manufacturers will add another washing process which leads to the production of debittered yeast that has a more agreeable, less bitter taste.
