Omega Yeast's PLUS Series (Formerly DKO Yeast Series)

Omega's latest yeast varieties have arrived with the mission to eliminate diacetyl, but what exactly is diacetyl, and why are we getting rid of it? Diacetyl is a natural byproduct of fermentation that introduces an undesirable flavor in beer, often reminiscent of buttered popcorn or butterscotch. Except for wines like Chardonnay and a few British beer styles, this off-flavor is usually avoided. Omega's PLUS Series (Formerly DKO Diacetyl Knock Out series), consisting of well-known yeast strains, is designed to prevent diacetyl formation from the start. Each strain expresses the ALDC enzyme, a precursor to diacetyl, enabling you to enhance efficiency and quality without the diacetyl-related off flavors.
