Module 15
Yeast Management
Manage yeast like a distiller: pitch simply, control stress, and choose strains by goal.
Learn yeast basics (metabolism and pitching), then learn how temperature and pH stress act as the real flavor drivers. Compare yeast families for vodka neutrality versus whiskey/rum depth.
What you'll learn
- How yeast metabolism shifts with oxygen availability
- A practical pitching and dosing method
- Why stress (temperature and pH) is the main flavor driver
- How to choose yeast families by spirit goal
- Why “turbo yeast” is discouraged in this approach
