#diacetyl

Diacetyl is a compound used in two completely unrelated things; margarine and vapes. He is partly both; one eye is a pat of margarine and one ear is a vape’s mouthpiece. As for personality, he is usually very charming and relatable, dangerously so. Behind that nonchalant smile, there is KILOTONS of sadism, sadism he doesn’t always refrain from holding back…

Der Mensch als “Endsorgungsbetrieb”

Die Wahrheit über Restaurants

Rührei aus dem Tetrapak – „Wiener Schnitzel“ aus der Fabrik in Bukarest. Was in vielen deutschen Restaurants als „hausgemacht“ bezeichnet wird, ist eine dreiste Frechheit.

Der Alltag in Restaurants sieht eher so aus: Tüte auf, Inhalt rein in den Topf, aufwärmen, auf dem Teller hübsch anrichten, noch ein paar Kräuter dazu – fertig. In vielen Restaurants sieht so das…

Diacetyl in E Liquid: A Review

Diacetyl… In MY E Liquid?

Ever since the early 2000s, when microwave popcorn manufacturers had 7 cases of Bronchiolitis across 28 different flavor manufacturers, people have been worried about what is in their food and flavorings. Daily working exposure to the pure powdered form of Diacetyl in areas with little filtration or air flow, has an association with what you might have heard called…

Fermenting: Märzen Decoction (Primary Part 3)

Fermentation is just about complete, finalizing it with a diacetyl rest - popular followup questions include, what is diacetyl, and what does the “rest” do?

What is diacetyl?  In short, diacetyl is a byproduct of fermentation that gives beer a buttery off-flavor.  Causes include high fermentation temperature and poor initial wort aeration. (Check out all off-flavors here!)

What does the “rest” do? As diacetyl is produced by yeast, it is reduced.  Once the yeast finishes production it enters a stationary period, then then consume the diacetyl, and reduce it - this happens faster at a higher temperature.  Since ales ferment at a higher temperature, they need a far shorter rest than a lager.  Since I’m brewing a Märzen, I must raise the fermentation chamber to ~70F, diacetyl levels will regulate within a few days.

I’ve got the temperature dialed in to 70F, my carboy says it’s moving on up and is about 68F now.

Stay tuned, moving to the secondary on Wednesday!
