2022-05-13 Both the non-enzymatic decomposition of α-acetolactate and the enzymatic reduction of diacetyl are temperature-dependent. The higher the temperature, the faster the reaction. Therefore, if the main fermentation temperature is increased, or the fermentation temperature is maintained at a higher temperature before the end of the main fermentation, the diacetyl is reduced quickly, and the post-fermentation time of the beer is greatly shortened.
