Hop & Brew School®: Survivable Compounds
How can I have more control over the aroma characteristics in my finished beer? Join the Yakima Chief Hops Technical Solutions team as they discuss recent research in beer soluble hop compounds, specifically flavors and aromas that survive into finished beer. In the webinar, Spencer Tielkemeier – Brewing Innovations Lead, Pat Jensen – Director of Research and Development, and Tessa Schilaty – Sensory Research Coordinator, will discuss the recently released Survivable Compounds Handbook.
Utilizing GC-QTOF and GC-SCD technology, the Yakima Chief Hops R&D Team is able to quantify concentrations of beer-soluble compounds within hop varieties, creating a framework that helps brewers utilize hop varieties to their maximum effect. This research provides a massively important link in bridging the gap between raw hop aromas and finished beer aromas.

She is now helping to further develop the YCH sensory program with a special emphasis on beer sensory. Tessa coordinates with Yakima Chief Hops’ sensory team and brewing partners to design, execute, and report on experiments which help further our collective understanding of hops and beer flavor. When trying to explain her job to strangers at a dinner party, Tessa describes what she does as “Drinking beer, but for science”.
