Acetate Regulation
I've read a few articles on the topic and from what I think I understand, during anaerobic fermentations it's a cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALD3) that seems responsible for acetate production, via NAD+ regeneration? For some reason I did not find this in the S.C Genome Database? Is it newly discovered, or why? - "Fredrik" RESPONSE: Believe me the ALD3 gene is there in...Acid Wash Versus Chlorine Dioxide

The questions I have are: 1) What is are the commercially available options available to the average homebrewer for adding zinc to yeast and of those, which are more available, affordable, and unlikely to affect flavor of the beer due to either the formulation or additives? 2) What is the best way and time to add zinc? In an aerated starter?During the boil? During yeast pitching? Other?...Aeration and Starter Versus Wort
