Product Description

Butyric, like baby vomit or spent grains, rancid”

Certified beer flavour standard used to train professional beer tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of butyric character.

Butyric acid is an off-flavour formed in beer as a result of the growth of contaminant bacteria during the beer production process.

Food grade | Free from sensory impurities | Extensively tested | Safe to smell and taste.

IMPORTANCE

Butyric acid is an off-flavour in beer. The flavour of affected beers can be worsened by the presence of 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl), or improved by ethyl butyrate derived from metabolism of butyric acid by yeast.

ORIGINS

Butyric acid is produced by bacteria during mashing and sweet wort separation, or during sugar syrup production or storage. It is occasionally formed as a result of bacterial spoilage of packaged beer by strictly anaerobic bacteria such as Pectinatus and Megasphaera.

HOW TO TASTE

The best way to evaluate butryic notes in beer is as follows. Cover the beer with your hand and swirl the glass to release the aroma. Remove your hand and take a single long sniff. Repeat as necessary.

CAS NUMBER

The CAS registry number of acetaldehyde is 107-92-6.
