Hey there! Short answer is yes. To truly unlock the thiol precursor in malt and hops, the yeast must be bioengineered to have the proper capabilities. We used CRISPR for the Thiolized series and other bioengineered strains. Hope that helps!
Hey Brandon - We have no knowledge of precursors in honey. It's not something we have tested, but it seems highly unlikely thiol precursors would be present in honey.
have been using small ultrasonic cleaners for making Aging alcohol Cannabis edibles, Tinctures and Coloidal Silver.I had the Idea to try it on my Fermentation of grain mash. My hopes were to make the mash into smaller particles and increasing surface area. I hoped to increase Bioavailability for the yeast. The 6 gal. plastic bucket I used for it kept blowing its top off as the bubbler was unable to keep up with the new rate of fermentation. I had to resort to taping the lid down with duct tape, Watching the bucket bulge from unreleased pressure and hoping it did not explode. !!WARNING DO NOT USE A GLASS VESSEL FOR FERMENTING IF YOU SHOULD TRY THIS METHOD!! I had hoped to show the increased speed of fermentation in this video. I made two mistakes. I used some pretty old yeast and I did not malt the grain first. Still the control had not even started before the ultrasounde grain had filled its bag full. I believe if I had used a malted grain and newer Yeast the results would have been more dramatic for you to see. I am very new to brewing, only three batches with using ultrasound to decrease particle size the third batch. I did try a sugar wash 4th batch using the ultrasound but saw no changes in the speed of fermentation. . I am hoping someone with a better set up and greater brewing knowledge can experiment with this and show the actual rate of increase. (I believe it to be about 300% or better) This could have a major significance in such a large market as alcohol and fuel.A factor to consider is stirring the grai water mixture in the ultrasound as a heavy layer of grain at the bottom may reduce effectiveness. I used a 60 watt, 40khz ultrasound unit with just one transducer on this video . On the earlier bucket run I used a home made unit with two 40 khz transducers. Finding the optimal range of transducers, frequency , volume, stir rate and length of time I leave to future brewers with more capital and time to find
keep releasing great content like this! 🍻
I am totally digging this interesting way of hopping and how it reacts with the yeast. My mind is blown right now!!
So exciting!!! Really hope we can one day get our hands on Cosmic Punch as well as the Phantasm Powder as Canadian Homebrewers.
Odered Phantasm Powder with Helio Gazer yeast to brew this weekend...... super psyched for this!
Is thiolization only possible through fermentation? I'm curious what are some of the ways to unlock the precursors?

Are these precursor present in honey? Or specific varietals I wonder?
