Yeast quality in the cone of cylindroconical tanks
It is generally assumed that yeast cropped from a tank is a qualitatively uniform culture. However, the small number of investigations carried out indicates that there may be major fluctuations within a cone. In order to get further insights, yeast samples were taken during yeast cropping at different points in time in two commercial breweries and investigated in terms of the physiological condition of yeast and quality of yeast beer.
