EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION OF BREWER'S YEAST SLURRY

Abstract
A yeast shipment method suitable (depending on vessel size) for 1 to 20 litres of slurried yeast is described. The method was investigated primarily assuming transit (storage) temperature at approximately 21°C. Under these conditions, the contained yeast was stable over 116 h at temperatures well under 16°C, and maintained its viability, fermentability and vigour to reinitiate new fermentations. Under more vigorous climatic conditions, shipment time would have to be reduced, but adequate protection time was afforded for all but the most extreme sub-zero situations.
