Unique amino acid blend activates Ehrlich pathway causing beer and wine yeast to produce tropical flavors Contributes complexity to beer styles like Hazys where tropical flavors are desired. Pairs perfectly with CellarScience HAZY Yeast Contributes tropical complexity to Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier wines when used in conjunction with CellarScience CITRUS Wine Yeast Enhance tropical flavors in your beer or wine with CellarScience Tropic Thunder. By changing the amino acid mix you feed your yeast you can influence the final flavors yeast produce. To understand why, we have to first explain the Ehrlich pathway which was discovered over 100 years ago by German Biochemist Felix Ehrlich. Yeast absorbs and breaks down a specific set of amino acids very slowly over the course of fermentation. The yeast cells incorporate the amino group into their cell structure, leaving an alpha-keto acid. This acid is turned into fusel alcohol by the yeast and then returned back out into the wort.
