On the podcast this week we speak with General Manager of Fermentis, Stéphane Meulemans. Before working in yeast Stéphane had 15 years working in the hops industry, as well as opening a Belgian craft brewery.

In this chat, we find out where yeast is headed as a feature flavour. The rise of sour beers, ultra low alcohol beers and hazy beers have all had a big impact on this sometimes under-appreciated ingredient.

Enjoy the conversation.
