Charlie specializes in the study of wholesomeness in beer including beer perception, polyphenols, foam stability, oxidation and flavor stability. Charlie is the author of over 20 books on beer including the <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2Fkg7RV\">ASBC Practical Guide to Flavor<\/a> (Amazon affiliate link) mentioned in this episode.\n<ul>\n<li>I do apologize for the video quality this week &#8211; we were unable to get a solid video connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>We discuss Charlie&#8217;s pending retirement as well as some upcoming courses he is teaching through the University of California at Davis and also in Nottingham.<\/li>\n<li>We talk about how yeast is the primary cause of some 10 of the 16 commonly referenced &#8220;off flavors&#8221; in beer according to the Beer Judge Certification Program score sheet.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie starts with some off flavors from his book on &#8220;Flavors&#8221; (linked above) starting with sourness &#8211; which he ties closely to beer acidity.<\/li>\n<li>We discuss the current trends in &#8220;sour beers&#8221; as well as ways to introduce sourness and manage it.<\/li>\n<li>He next moves on to talk about diacetyl and VDKs including pentainedione, as well as their cause and how to reduce them.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie and I discuss esters and how they come from &#8220;esterfied&#8221; alcohol especially higher order alcohols. We also talk about ways to manage and reduce them.<\/li>\n<li>Next we move on to alcohol itself which can be an off flavor or &#8220;feature&#8221; in certain high gravity beers.<\/li>\n<li>We discuss acids &#8211; in particular excessive fatty acids that can build up in a wort that has not been properly aerated before pitching your yeast.<\/li>\n<li>We finish with a discussion on sulfur and a few other off flavors.<\/li>\n<li>Charlie provides his summary on how to reduce off flavors that are caused by yeast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sponsors<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Thank you to our sponsor <a href=\"http:\/\/beerandbrewing.com\">Craft Beer and Brewing Magazine<\/a> for sponsoring this episode.
