By breaking down the precursor to diacetyl (alpha-acetolactate) into a flavorless compound (acetoin) during fermentation, ALDC allows brewers to produce cleaner, faster-maturing beers, particularly lagers and heavily dry-hopped styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYeast’s dual role in both producing and reabsorbing diacetyl poses the brewer with a number of headaches in controlling this frequently. ALDC is an innovative enzyme that facilitates the swift and efficient conversion of this pungent and undesirable diacetyl into acetoin, thus efficiently preventing the formation and accumulation of diacetyl in the finished beer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical data sheet available \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0161\/3646\/files\/ENDOZYM_ALDC_TDS_EN_1170724_BEER_Italy.pdf?v=1770888913\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits for Homebrewers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates Diacetyl: Directly prevents the creation of \"butter bomb\" off-flavors, especially in IPAs, hazy IPAs, and lagers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces Conditioning Time: Negates or significantly reduces the need for a traditional, time-consuming \"diacetyl rest\" at the end of fermentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombats Hop Creep: Helps manage the secondary fermentation and diacetyl production caused by enzymes in dry hops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster Turnaround: Allows for quicker kegging or bottling. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage \u0026amp; Application\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10-15 g of ENDOZYM® ALDC per hectolitre of cold wort and 4-10\u003cbr\u003eg of ENDOZYM® ALDC per hectolitre of beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Dosage for 20 liter wort\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 - 2.5 ml per 20 liter cold wort.\u003cbr\u003e1 - 2ml per 20 liter beer (If dry hopping) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPTIMAL TEMPERATURE 10-70°C\u003cbr\u003epH RANGE 3.0 – 7.5 \u003cbr\u003eDensity: 1.18g = 1ml\u003cbr\u003eStorage:  ALDC must be stored in the refrigerator (32-50°F \/ 0-10°C)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aeb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56185286066342,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0161\/3646\/files\/SouthernPromise_6.png?v=1770892556","url":"https:\/\/www.beerlab.co.za\/products\/aldc-prevent-diacetyl-formation","provider":"BeerLab Home Brew Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
