Acetate Regulation
Thank you very much for your responses.
Since I have a particular interest with acid production of yeast, mainly acetate, I take to opportunity to submit a follow up question specific on trying to make sure I understand the regulation of acetate production.
Acid Wash Versus Chlorine Dioxide
I was wondering if you might comment on your opinion of acid washing versus using a chlorine dioxide (CLO2) wash. It seems that the use of CLO2 might be a bit easier and quicker than an acid wash based on [very limited] reading related to this subject.
Adding Zinc
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?
Aeration and Starter Versus Wort
Can you please comment on the strategy of trying to aerate/oxygenate the yeast while they are in a STARTER rather than aerating the wort itself. (Please let me abuse the language and science a bit and just say that yeast need "a big swallow of oxygen" before they ferment beer.)
