Has anybody tried this before? In theory, adding valine should feedback inhibit both the transcription of the operon for the branched chain amino acid genes as well as some of the biosynthetic proteins. This would reduce the yeast's need for valine which would reduce acetolactate production, which is the oxidative precursor to diacetyl.
I've had great success adding ergosterol and oleic acid to my wort while not oxygenating, so I think I'll try this out for my next lager.
Hail Science!!!
