Module 14

Fermentation Theory for Distillers

Use pH, temperature, and time to design the flavor molecules you will later distill.

Learn the esterification formula and how pH, temperature, and time steer flavor direction. Connect fermentation decisions directly to Holy Trinity tasting outcomes.

What you'll learn

Why fermentation is the main flavor-building step
How esterification is defined in this model
How pH, temperature, and time steer ester formation
How those controls map to heads/hearts/tails tasting outcomes
How to apply the model to any product category
