ABV Aromazyme

[Dgallo]

I saw where Lallemand found that with the enzyme they saw a 300% increase in the release of bound Terpenes vs. a regular fermentation with just BRY-97, which I believe has the most beta glucosidase activity of any of Lallemands yeast strains, AFAIK, so it DOES seem like it's the "amount" of release that's the benefit.


Seems like most NEIPA breweries are focused on releasing the maximum bound thiols right now and Terpenes just aren't that cool, by comparison. I tend to agree with them as the beer flavor is really transformed pretty dramatically by small quantities of thiols; not sure how noticable some extra terpenes are, by comparison...

I agree. I personally won’t use aromazyme in a NEIPA due to the over attenuation but I would give it a shot in a WCIPA

I’d love to try out Aromazyme or an equivalent enzyme for a west coast IPA. Anyone try it out? Is there a homebrew size available?

Looks like lallemand sells a big quantity for $60 - I might be willing buy and repackage if I can get 5-10 who want to try it out.

If you need inspiration:

Alvarado st. makes some of the best WCIPA out there, intense flavors and aromas.

i can send you some to try out if you'd like. its a nice add to a brew in most cases, a few cases i didnt notice much difference. but i dont do hazies, so just talking ipas and lagers mostly. problem with lagers is that its lower temp bound is like 60F, so you gotta warm them up a bit and then let them sit a bit so it has time to do its work.
