Abstract
Amino acid consumption and vicinal diketone (VDK) production of two different strains of commercially available active dry lager yeasts (ADLYs) were compared with freshly propagated cultures of the corresponding yeast strains. Rehydrated dry yeasts and freshly propagated yeasts were pitched in all-malt wort and allowed to ferment at 14°C. Dry yeast strains took 15–26 hr longer to attenuate the wort to final gravity and 24–48 hr longer to significantly reduce wort amino acid content. A new indicator was introduced as a means to quantitatively characterize VDK production and reduction profiles. This indicator effectively demonstrated a large discrepancy in the diacetyl profile between the fresh and dry cultures: fermentations made with dried yeasts resulted in 1.5–7 times higher diacetyl indices. With one of the dry strains, diacetyl concentrations remained over the taste threshold value after 7 days of fermentation. These differences could be linked to a reduced ability of the rehydrated mother cells to absorb wort constituents caused by cell membrane damage occurring during the ADLY production process. Overall, dry yeasts resulted in a reduced level of performance compared with freshly propagated cultures, suggesting that the direct utilization of ADLY as an inoculum for beer fermentation at the industrial scale is not recommended.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
