All About Yeast with Jasper's Yeast

September 01, 2021 • Season 3 • Episode 6

We all know that yeast is vital to the brewing process. But do we know why or even, how vital? Lashelle and Roche find out with the minds behind Jasper's Yeast, a yeast growing lab based in Dulles, VA. Jasper Akerboom and Travis Tedrow explain, in terms we all can understand, the differences and what to look for in yeast, as well as the yeast growing process. Then, Jasper and Travis discuss their love of beer, if yeast growing has changed their beer drinking habits, and why brewers are loathe to discuss yeast strain contamination.

Let's all nerd out over yeast on this episode of Head Retention!
