Chr. Hansen SmartBev TM Yeast & Bacteria for Brewing

Chr. Hansen SmartBev TM NEER ®

Fermentation. Redefined. Chr. Hansen is a sustainable global bioscience company that develops natural solutions for the food and beverage industries. Fermentation experts since 1893, Chr. Hansen now brings the largest collection of cultures in the world, along with the most highly skilled fermentation experts to the brewing industry. By combining our innovative concepts with your true brewing skills the industry has elevated its standard. SmartBev TM is Fermentation. Redefined. Frozen Liquid Yeast (FLY) FLY is a patented concept that Chr. Hansen uses for the wine and brewing industry to provide the pure and most active yeast for direct pitching. When kept at -50°F, cells are stable for up to 18 months. This means no propagation, no rehydration, and no prolonged acclimatization time needed.

A fast, sustainable and cost-efficient solution for brewing full-flavored beer without the alcohol. NEER is produced using Chr. Hansen’s proprietary production method which ensures high product performance, consistency and low risk of contamination. The NEER product is delivered on dry-ice as a 1 kg frozen block that, after thawing, can be transferred to the fermentation vessel using the sterile connection tube included in the package. NEER is highly concentrated, 1 bag can be used to inoculate 212-425 bbl of wort and normally finishes fermentation within 3-5 days. Minimal maturation of the beer is required. Non-alcoholic Brewing Process Comparison Most non-alcoholic beers suffer from inferior organoleptic properties due to the ‘side-effects’ of the physical removal of ethanol or the application of cold-contact with regular brewers’ yeasts. NEER is a traditional brewing solution, which can produce full bodied, flavorful, non-alcoholic beers using our patented Pichia kluyveri strain.

Yeast Strains For Cider

Yeast Strains For Hard Seltzer

HARD SELTZER

CIDER PROCESSING

Gusmer is pleased to introduce interesting and unique strains of yeast that have proven to be strong tools in the production of premium beverages. As a supplier of yeast to the alcoholic beverage industry for decades, Gusmer has many strains of specialized yeast that were selected for their abilities to perform alcoholic fermentations and make positive contributions to the organoleptic profile. We provide yeast strains with proven kinetics and the ability to produce aromatic and mouthfeel constituents, or the inability to produce certain negative metabolites – such as hydrogen sulfide. We work exclusively with Chr. Hansen and Renaissance Yeast, two leaders in the production of yeast for the beverage industry. Renaissance Yeast is a leader in the development of classical crossbred (non-GMO) H 2 S-preventing Saccharomyces yeast, based on a unique strain of yeast, UCD932, that was recently isolated by the University of California, Davis which is naturally incapable of producing hydrogen sulfide. Renaissance has developed a full range of yeasts bred specifically for their favorable fermentation attributes in hard seltzer. Each strain has a proven lineage, and is metabolically incapable of producing hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide, even at levels below threshold, binds delicate aromas. Hard seltzer, produced with Renaissance Saccharomyces strains, that contain no hydrogen sulfide are bright, clean and have outstanding aromas. Renaissance Yeast

IFF Danisco ® Brewing Enzymes (continued)

IFF Danisco ® Brewing Enzymes

IFF is a global leader of innovative and sustainable solutions in food, beverage, health, biosciences and sensorial experiences. Gusmer Enterprises has partnered with this iconic brand to serve the brewing industry. Traditional brewing is based on enzymes produced by malted grain. Critical enzymes developed during malting of brewer’s grains include amylases, proteases and cellulases. These same critical enzymes are available from Gusmer as IFF Danisco enzymes, giving you the tools to reduce cost, waste and energy consumption, accelerate production and achieve consistently high quality beer. Mashing Mashing converts starch to fermentable sugars through the activity of starch conversion enzymes. Starch is composed of glucose molecules linked together in a linear (amylose) or branched polymer (amylopectin). Alpha- amylases randomly hydrolyze α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch to produce smaller sugars and fragments of starch called dextrins that contribute to flavor, body and mouthfeel. Beta-amylases act only at the ends of starch molecules and fragments to produce maltose. Glucoamylases break off single molecules of glucose from starch molecules, dextrins and maltose.

Liquefaction & Cereal Cooking - Supplemental enzymes break down starch and reduce mash viscosity for more consistent mashing. Add to cereal cooker for faster liquefaction.

The branched points in amylopectin can be broken with pullulanase, a starch-debranching enzyme, allowing amylase enzymes better access to starch molecules. Cellulases break down cell wall complexes to release starch for conversion. Using specific combinations or blends of all these enzyme types, brewers can control starch conversion to increase extract, achieve target attenuations, balance carbohydrate profile and assure consistency even with varying raw material. Wort Separation & Beer Filtration Wort separation and beer filtration enzymes - xylanase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, and arabinase - break down non-starch polysaccharides that can interfere with wort separation, clog filters and bind up starch molecules. The composition and amount of cell wall material varies widely depending on degree of malt modification, the source of malt and the growing conditions from year to year. Fruited beers introduce pectin haze and filtration problems that can be prevented with the use of pectinase enzymes. Improving mash separation increases wort quality and can benefit extract yield, as well as lower energy costs. Fermentation Enhancement Proper modification of barley during conversion to malt is necessary to produce enzymes, soluble protein, simplified carbohydrates, flavor and color. The enzymes produced during malting break down the grain endosperm, a protein- starch matrix, into smaller proteins and amino acids and further release starches. Under modified or poorly modified malt lack those enzymes. Supplemental protease and peptidase enzymes increase soluble protein and free amino nitrogen (FAN) in wort for yeast to thrive. Diacetyl Control Traditional methods to reduce diacetyl require rests under warm conditions, with extended maturation times. Diacetyl rest can be shortened with enzymatic degradation of vicinal diketones (VDK’s), the precursors to diacetyl. Addition of alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase allows for shorter and more consistent maturation periods.

Beer Stabilization Protein & Polyphenol Control Chill haze stabilization is an important consideration for beers that are distributed throughout a territory and require any degree of shelf stability. Most retailers and consumers expect clarity and no post-bottling sedimentation in beer on a consistent basis, and with today’s flavorful and wide varieties of beers, the potential for instability exists. Through the use of either silica-based

Beer Stabilization (continued)

BASF Divergan ® F and Divergan ® RS PVPP (Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) Gusmer is a major distributor of Divergan F to the beer industry. Manufactured by BASF, Divergan F is used throughout the world to chill haze stabilize beer. BASF’s unique polymerization process produces the purest polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, which more selectively adsorbs the polyphenols that can cause instabilities. There is evidence that Divergan F also helps to stabilize flavor through the reduction of flavonoid polyphenols, which are particularly prone to polymerize into products of higher molecular weight and potential bitter flavor. Divergan F works quickly, and its short contact time means it can frequently be dosed inline, but it can also be dosed in a batch method. Divergan RS is a regenerable PVPP, which works in the same manner, but offers some economies to larger facilities that are set up to regenerate it. Alone: 10-30 g/hL (~2.5-7.75 lb/100 US bbl) With Silica: 10-20 g/hL (~2.5-5.0 lb/100 US bbl) Alone: 25-40 g/hL (~5-10 lb/100 US bbl). With Silica: 10-30 g/hL (~2.5-7.75 lb/100US bbl) Contact time: 5 minutes Polyphenol removal effectiveness: 55% of mass Dose Rate: Beer more than 65% malt Particle Size: ~ 50 um Dose Rate: Beer up to 65% malt

PQ Corporation BRITESORB ® A100 – ( Silica Hydrogel ) Silica Hydrogel is an amorphous silica powder, which is non-dusting and free flowing, and has a moisture content of approximately 65%. BRITESORB A100 works through size exclusion. The surface of BRITESORB A100 is engineered with a moderately sized porosity, which selectively allows for the internal adsorption of haze-forming proteins while retarding the entry of larger, foam-positive proteins. An excellent choice for chillproofing lighter style beers, BRITESORB A100 has a high permeability factor that allows for faster filtration rates and longer filter runs.

stabilizing agents or PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) polymer-based stabilizing agents, chill haze stabilization can be achieved without affecting flavor, aroma, body or head retention. These stabilizing agents are widely used, economical and readily available through Gusmer Enterprises. Chill haze is caused by the natural reaction of “sensitive proteins” (proteins rich in proline) and polyphenols, both of which are inherently found in beer. These sensitive proteins and polyphenols agglomerate to form larger colloids which are insoluble at cold storage and serving temperatures. The instability results in a precipitation which creates cloudy beer or bottle sediment. Stability of the beer can be achieved by removing either the sensitive proteins or the polyphenols, so that the two cannot so readily react with each other. Silica-based stabilizers, whether amorphous solids or colloidal liquids, used in the brewing process have a small particle size (8 nm to 16 microns) and are highly porous with typical surface areas from about 300 m 2 /g to more than 1,000 m 2 /g. These specially engineered silica particles are hydrophilic due to coverage of their surface by hydroxyl (silanol) groups. It is the interactions of proline with these silanol groups that enable the selective adsorption of sensitive proteins from beer. PVPP polymer-based stabilizers are approximately 50 microns in size and have a high affinity for flavonoid polyphenols via hydrogen and hydrophobic bonding. Both forms of stabilizing agents are ultimately removed from the beer through centrifugation or filtration. The choice to use either a silica-based stabilizer or a PVPP polymer-based stabilizer is up to the brewer, and for beers that are more difficult to stabilize, the use of both agents may synergistically result in stabilization. Preparation of Stabilizers Kieselsol: These solutions come ready-made and can be added as described in the dosing section below. Hydrogel/Xerogel/PVPP: The amorphous powder should be mixed with deoxygenated water at a 10% w/w ratio. (1 kg powder: 10 liters DAW or ~8 lb: 10 USG DAW). The use of a CO 2 sparger in the slurry water will help to deoxygenate the water. Agitation: Hydrogel/Xerogel – Agitate slurry for at least 20 minutes prior to addition. PVPP – Agitate slurry for 1-2 hours prior to addition. Dosing of Stabilizers Inline Method: The kieselsol, hydrogel/xerogel or PVPP slurries are dosed proportionally into the beer stream by means of a metering pump. The products are allowed to react with the beer. Depending upon contact time required for each product, a buffer tank may be utilized. Resultant sediments should be removed via filtration depending on the requirements of the specific stabilizer. Batch Method: Add the kieselsol or hydrogel/xerogel/ PVPP slurries into the product while filling the finishing tank. Add the stabilizing agent proportionally during the fill or as a single shot method through the spray ball arm. Once the stabilizing agent has reacted with the respective protein or tannin, it will settle to the bottom of the tank as sediment. Settling times vary due to tank geometry and stabilizer/protein/tannin complex size. The stabilized beer can be separated from the sediment prior to filtration and any leftover sediment is easily removed during CIP. Inadvertent over-dosing or contact time of several days causes no negative effects in the beer.

PQ Corporation BRITESORB ® D300 – ( Silica Xerogel ) Silica Xerogel is an amorphous, free flowing powder of approximately 5% moisture content. Pound for pound, it is a more effective stabilizer than Silica Hydrogel. BRITESORB D300 utilizes the same adsorption principals as A100, but in addition, BRITESORB D300 is activated by a patented process that increases its affinity for sensitive protein. This typically allows for short contact times and reduced dose rates. A good candidate to stabilize difficult brews, BRITESORB D300 has a good permeability factor and can be used in conjunction with PVPP.
