Abstract
Two clones of brewers yeast, grown for more than 300 cell generations on a synthetic minimal medium were propagated on wort and used in pilot brewing experiments. Parallel brews with wort cultured yeast were carried out for comparison. Analytical data showed no differences between beer brewed with yeast grown on minimal medium and wort cultured yeast. One out of the two clones grown on minimal medium gave a beer with a somewhat inferior taste.
