Description:
“Chico” is a reliable, versatile and popular neutral foundation for displays of malts and hops. Highly attenuative and moderately flocculating, it ferments crisp and clean with light citrus notes under 66°F (19°C).
Diacetyl Knock Out
The DKO series strains prevent the formation of diacetyl while maintaining the identical fermentation behaviors and flavor expressions of their parental strains. The benefit of ALDC-expressing yeast is that the pathway for diacetyl formation is stopped at the source resulting in virtually no diacetyl production throughout fermentation. When these strains are put to use, the diacetyl levels never reach sensory thresholds. Even when using the most sensitive GC-ECD methods, they stay at the lower limits of detection, giving you peace of mind.
Benefits:
- Avoid diacetyl hangups with hop creep
- Boost quality and keep tanks turning quickly
- Diacetyl so low, it's undetectable
- Lumina™ bioengineered technology develops translucent beer while maintaining parental strain behavior
