Fact of Fiction - Can Pathogens Survive in Beer? The RDWHAHB Edition

by noreply@blogger.com (Bryan) @ Sui Generis Brewing

Its time for the third instalment of my pseudo-series Can Pathogens Survive in Beer (Part 1 - of course they can, Part 2 - Moulds). To summarise parts I and II, yes there are a number of pathogens that survive in beer, and yes, moulds can release poisonous mycotoxins into beer, but generally speaking proper sanitation and controlling your brewing environment can eliminate these risks.

Today's edition is a little different; my previous posts get "cited" a lot by people who seem to have been scared by my posts away from testing new organisms as potential brewing bugs. As one example, a few months ago at Milk the Funk a discussion on the potential use of Lachancea fermentati (a lactic-acid producing yeast) to make a "single organism" sour-beer. The interest readily split into two groups after a case report was found of a patient in Texas who suffered fungemia (blood infection) with Lachancea fermentati. This led many people who at first were anxious to try brewing with this yeast to become fearful about even letting it near their brewery. Yet I, and a few others, made beers with this yeast...and we're all still here and no one got sick. So what is going on? Why would I (a microbiologist by trade) risk making a beer with a known pathogen?

The answer, as always, is below the fold...


What Makes a Pathogen?

Before we delve further into this question, its worth revisiting the topic of what makes a pathogen. The answer is surprisingly unclear - there is no clear-cut or easy way to determine if an organism has pathogenic potential; the reason for this has more to do with the nature of the human body than the microorganisms. Our bodies use a "layered" defence to protect us from microorganisms. The first "layer" is simply barriers - skin, the lining of our lungs and intestines, etc - all are tightly sealed surfaces that act to keep bugs out. But they are also easily penetrated; bona-fide pathogens typically have toxins or other mechanisms that allow them to break down these barriers, but by accident we also "hole" these barriers every day - cuts, abrasions, even the act of digesting foods open up entry points for microorganisms to gain entry into our body.

The second "layer" is temperature and pH - our bodies normal operating temperature of 37C is well above what most microorganisms find comfortable, while the higher temperatures of a fever push our body temperatures above what many microorganisms (even pathogenic ones) can stand. pH also plays a role; especially in our stomach where very acidic conditions (pH as low as 1.5) kill many microorganisms before they enter the less acidic intestinal tract.

The third "layer" is nutritional - key elements required for both our health and the growth of pathogens (e.g. iron and other metal ions) are highly sequestered by our bodies, preventing pathogens from gaining access.

The four "layer" is our immune system - a combination of chemical and cellular processes which have a remarkable ability to target and kill microorganisms.

Normally, pathogens have ways of overcoming these barriers - as one example, Staphylococcus aureus (an organisms which is an occasional topic of research in my lab) is temperature and acid resistant, secretes streptolysins - toxins which can break open barriers as well as kill immune cells - and secretes siderophores which can"pull" the minute amounts of iron our bodies fail to sequester into the pathogen. Through these (and other) mechanisms, Staphylococcus can readily infect humans...and its burgeoning antibiotic resistance has catapulted it to the top of the list of pathogens of concern in the developed world.

Most microorganisms lack the arsenal of Staphylococcus, and therefore are not "classical pathogens"...but as you can imagine a number come close, and therefor may be able to produce an infection if something impairs some one of our defence "layers" that the microorganism is otherwise unable to penetrate.

Consider Saccharomyces

Every day billions (literally) of meals are consumed containing foods and beverages prepared using Saccharomyces cerevisiae - i.e. brewers/bakers yeast. Certainly this microorganism must be safe! But is it?  Consider our "layers" of defence:

  1. Barriers: S. cerevisiae lacks any tools to penetrate our bodies barriers. So were safe...well, except for that irritating detail that dozens of holes get made in our barriers every day through mechanical means; especially in the intestinal tract where we most often encounter S. cerevisiae. Strike 1...
  2. pH and temperature: Three words - sour beer & kveik. In other words, we use S. cerevisiae in the brewing community under pH and temperatures equivalent to those of our bodies. Strike 2...
  3. Nutritional: While S. cerevisiae does not have the nutrient acquisition capabilities of S. aureus, we often forget that S. cerevisiae's natural habitat is the nutrient-poor environment of tree bark. As as such S. cerevisiae has a pretty astounding set of tools to acquire nutrients from nutrient-poor environments (e.g. iron). This may not be bona-fide pathogen-level nutrient acquisition, it is a capacity well above what most environmental organisms would likely be equipped with. Strike 3...
  4. Immunological: Luckily, biology isn't 3-strikes and you're out. While S. cerevisiae has the theoretical capability to act as a pathogen (assuming barrier damage), it has absolutely no defences against our immune system. Simply dumping serum (the liquid portion of your blood) from a healthy person onto S. cerevisiae is enough to impair its growth, and my favourite immune cells (macrophages) literally will eat S. cerevisiae like candy.
So three cheers for our immune system, because it is what allows us to enjoy beer.

Oh wait, S. cerevisiae infections can and do occur - in one one hospital at a reported rate of 6 per month!

So should we all stop brewing? Of course not! It turns out that fungal infections with yeasts such as Saccharomyces, Picha and Lachancea are relatively common, but only in patients who are severely immunosuppressed, or who are co-infected with a more serious pathogen, or who have had a series of particularly unfortunate medical events (e.g. gut-wall damage during a conventional colonoscopy).

So Relax, Don't Worry and Have a Home Brew...But Brewed With What?

Up to this point I don't think I've done anything to assuage any concerns, but the take-home message is if other things go wrong with your body, the number of organisms that may cause problems is immense (and not limited to those which can be used to make beer). If you are suffering a serious infection, or are immunosuppressed (e.g. undergoing a transplant, cancer treatment, have HIV/AIDS, etc), or have suffered a recent injury to your intestinal tract, you probably should avoid drinking/eating anything prepared with living microorganisms in it - and that includes probiotic pills, yoghurt (yogurt for my American readers), sauerkraut, and so on. And, of course, avoiding any alcohol (even if it is otherwise sterile) is generally a good idea when you're ill or injured.

But if you're healthy and hale there is very little to worry about. And a few simply guidelines can help ensure your safety.

If brewing using wild/coolship-style beers: make sure that you are taking the proper precautions - pre-acidify your wort and maintain proper sanitation (wild brewing is not an excuse for poor sanitation). Once your beer is brewed, do not start sampling until they smell fine, have reached a pH below 4.0, and reached a minimum alcohol content of 2.5%. Anything that smells bad, has mould, or any oddly coloured organisms in it needs to be dumped - as does any beer which does not reach an appropriate pH and alcohol level (again, below 4.0 and above 2.5%, respectively) after a month or so. These simple rules have kept brewers safe and healthy for decades centuries millennia.

If you're purifying bugs to test as pure cultures: make sure you know what you're doing. Your best sources for bugs are always going to be beers that are already proven safe - i.e. a wild brew that has met the conditions mentioned above. Other safe sources are bottle dregs from other wild/sour beers, other fermented foods and human-grade probiotic preparations (pills/drinks/etc). If getting purified organisms from non-food sources (yeast/bacterial banks/suppliers, research scientists, etc), be sure to do your homework. Stay away from bona-fide pathogens such as Candidia albicans, anything from the Cryptococcus and  Malassezia genera, and the nastier strains of Rhodotorula (R. mucilaginosa, R. glutinis, and R. minuta). Avoid anything reported to produce mycotoxins. And as always, if in doubt don't use it.

2016 In Review

by noreply@blogger.com (Bryan) @ Sui Generis Brewing

Last night, somewhere around midnight, 2016 came to an end...meaning its time for my annual look back at the year that was.

The Good: Both my blog and youtube channel continue to grow in popularity; my blog reaching 394k views, and my youtube channel 103k views. Most of the beers this year came out either good or excellent, including what may have been my best Berliner Weisse to-date. My brewing output is up slightly over last year - 16 beers/ciders, plus a few batches of wine. I added a bunch of fun yeasts to the yeast bank, and found two new loves in the form of Kveik yeast and fast-lagering with W34/70.

Of course, this year was also my 20th brewversary, and the celebration of that went well...and is still continuing.

The Bad: Brewing output is still down compared to historical norms, and I ran dry a few times this year. My posting of both blog posts and youtube videos has also suffered this year, despite starting a new series of short videos intended to overcome last years rather meagre offerings.

The Ugly: Turns out I was growing my hops all wrong...I hope to fix that in 2017.

Upcoming in 2017

I cannot claim to have any big things planned for this year - more posts and videos, and ore brewdays, I hope. I also hope to electrify my brew setup...but those plans have been in the works for 3 years and have never advanced past the planning phase, so I'm not going to hold my breath on that one.

My Warm Lagering Method

by noreply@blogger.com (Bryan) @ Sui Generis Brewing

I must apologise about my poor blogging output over the past year or so, but there have been some big changes behind the scenes which have got in the way of my blogging and brewing...but I've not been completely inactive.

As my regular readers may recall, I've done some test brews using a newer "lagering" method in which lager-style beers are produced using lager yeasts fermented at ale temperatures (post 1, 2, 3 and 4). Motivated by these successes, I've brewed over a dozen lagers using this method in order to refine this process, with my last two batches produced using the same refined method. The first of these was a German-style pilsner; specifically the "Myburger" Bitburger clone from "Brewing Classic Style". Not only was it delicious, but I had trouble telling it apart in side-by-side tastings from its commercial cousin. The second beer was a doppelbock, and was everything I'd expect from the style. The take-home lesson from those two brews is that you can make very good "lagers", true to style, without the need for prolonged cold fermentation. Indeed, the Pilsner was 2 weeks grain-to-glass, and a month for the doppelbock.

All the gory details are below the fold.


The Method:

My method is pretty straight forward, and does not differ much from the one worked out by Brulosophy.

Preparing the yeast: The single most important part of the process is a large pitch of very healthy yeast. A good pitch of healthy yeast, into an appropriately prepared wort, will provide the clean fermentation your lager requires. Get the yeast part right and the rest will fall into place.

For liquid yeast:A few days in advance prepare a large starter of yeast - for an average gravity lager you will want 1.5 to 2 million cells/ml/degree plato (AKA strong ale-to-conventional lager pitch rates). For high gravity lagers you will want 2 to 2.5 million/ml/degree plato. Your goal with this starter is to maximise yeast numbers and yeast health - use plenty of yeast nutrient, and be sure to stir vigorously enough to ensure maximum oxygenation. These starters are large, so you are going to want to decant the spent wort prior to pitching your yeast.

For repitched yeast: Simply having a lot of yeast is not sufficient - you also need it to be healthy. As such, if repitching yeast from a previous brew, make sure you run it through a revitalization starter - e.g. add the amount of yeast you intend to pitch to a 1 to 1.5L/1.040 gravity starter, made with a good dose of yeast nutrient and stirred to give a high level of oxygenation. This will not produce more yeast, but will ensure that the yeast you pitch are at peak health. Again, I would suggest decanting these starters, although the smaller volume make this less critical than when preparing a starter from a tube/smackpack/yeast bank.

For dry yeast: Dry yeast tends to be in relatively good shape, so long as it isn't too old or was stored improperly. Again, you want a lot of yeast, so for an average-gravity lager you will likely want to use 2 sachets of yeast; 3-4 sachets for a high-gravity lager. Be sure to rehydrate the yeast properly, in order to ensure the maximum number of active yeast and the best yeast health.

Preparing the beer: Nothing special needs to be done here, and no modifications need to be done to the recipe; simply brew the wort to the best of your abilities. At the end of the boil, cool the beer as cold as you can reasonably get it - ideally to 14-16C, although anything below 20C is acceptable.
Transfer the beer to a semi-sealed fermenter such as a carboy + blowoff tube. You want to avoid "open" bucket-style fermenters as these can enhance ester formation and may lead to a loss of the modest sulphur character present in most lagers. When you transfer the beer be sure to transfer a small amount of trub as this can also help to suppress both ester and fusel alcohol production. Finally, oxygenate well and pitch your yeast.

Primary Fermentation: Because we've front-loaded our brewing process with several methods to provide a clean fermentation, we can get away with a fair bit on the fermentation end. A broken temperature controller led to an accidental "lager" fermentation at 25C (77F), and the beer still turned out fine. That said, some control over fermentation temperature is simple insurance, and at a minimum, should speed the time the beer needs to age before it is keg ready. I've had the best results (or, at least, keggable beer the quickest) when I held the fermentation temperature to between 14 and 17C (57 to 62C) for the first 3 to 4 days; this is when most ester formation occurs, so by keeping things cool we can further minimise ester production. At this point I raise my fermentation temperature to 20-21C (68-70F), and hold that temperature until primary fermentation is done (~2 weeks). These higher temperatures ensure full attenuation and cleanup of off-flavours such as diacetyl and acetaldehyde.

Secondary Fermentation & Packaging: Secondary fermentation is not required for average-gravity lagers, but I've found that transferring higher-gravity lagers to a carboy with airlock for an additional 2-4 weeks can greatly help their character and get them closer to style. Once ready for packaging, crash-cool the beer and transfer to the keg/bottle (add gelatin at this time, if you use it). Carb as per usual and serve - all of my test batches but the one brewed with S-23 was fantastic on the first serve, although in about half of cases I've noticed some modest improvement over the first week or so in the keg.

And that's it - pitch lots of healthy yeast, maintain some level of control over your fermentation, and you should end up with a nice lager...in two (or so) weeks.


Why Does It Work?

The key feature separating lagers from ales is the relative absence of esters and other compounds such as diacetyl. In addition, lagers tend to have a modest sulphur note that is absent in ales. This unique set of  flavour characteristic is a product of how these beers are fermented - cool temperatures suppress ester formation, and sulphur-producing yeasts give the sulphur character which is preserved by the slower fermentation that occurs at cooler temperatures. But this colder fermentation also comes with some costs - namely, a tendency for certain metabolic intermediaries such as diacetyl and acetaldehyde to accumulate in the beer. Traditionally, these undesired off-flavours were dealt with through prolonged ageing, during which time the yeast slowly metabolise these intermediaries, eventually leaving behind the clean crisp beer we expect of lagers.

The "warm" method achieves the same ends - low esters, some sulphur and minimal diacetyl or other off-flavours, but does so through different means:

Right Yeast: Not all yeasts are created equal, and as such, not all lager yeasts will work as well with this method as others. In my hands W34/70 is the king, producing clean lagers under nearly any condition I threw at it. Other good yeasts (again, in my experience, this list is not comprehensive) includes Wyeast 2112, WLP800, and WLP833.

Wrong Yeasts: As you can image, when there are right yeasts there are also wrong yeasts. S-23 is the wrong yeast as at warm temperatures it makes your beer taste like fruit salad...although, now that I think about it, it is a generally horrible yeast and should be condemned to the fiery depths of hell.

Reduced Esters: The relative absence of esters are the primary feature that separates lagers from ales, and therefore reducing ester formation (and other off-flavours such as fusel alcohols and acetaldehyde) are key to a successful warm-fermented lager. Esters are a product of an alcohol being reacted with an acid; for conventional brewers yeast the most common esters are made through the reaction of ethanol (the alcohol) with metabolic intermediaries such as acetyl-CoA; in this particular case producing the ester ethyl acetate (apple-like flavour). Ester production in beer is dictated largely by the metabolism of yeast, with any factor that increases the production of metabolic intermediaries, or which prolongs their presence in the fermenting beer, leading to more esters.

Many of the intermediaries are produced at their highest levels during cell division and during cell stress, while the presence of oxygen can aid in the rapid removal of these compounds. So by maximising cell numbers and health, and oxygenating well, we can minimise ester production (as well as the production of fusels, acetaldehyde and diacetyl). A small amount of trub present in the fermenting wort has also been demonstrated to help reduce esters, which is why I make sure to transfer a small amount of trub to the primary fermenter.

Likewise, keeping the first few days of fermentation as cool as possible should help - that said, I've failed to do this on a few of my test batches without noticeable defects in the resulting beer. In my opinion, if you do everything else right, keeping the early stages cooler is simply a bit of insurance rather than a necessity.

Low diacetyl and acetaldehyde: Diacetyl (buttery) and acetaldehyde (green apple) flavours are common flaws in lagers. Both of these flavours tend to be present in modest quantities early in lager fermentation, and traditional lager fermentations require prolonged ageing to reduce them to appropriate levels. Diacetyl and acetaldehyde both form as intermediaries in the breakdown of sugars by yeast. Given enough time, the yeast will reconsume and remove these compounds...and do so more quickly at warmer temperatures. For your average-gravity fast lager, the two week fermentation is sufficient for this; for higher gravity lagers an additional 2 or 3 weeks in secondary (again, at a warmer temperature) will lead to the reduction of these compounds.

Sulphur: A modest amount of volatile sulphur compounds are a normal constituent of a lager's flavour and aroma profile. Lager yeasts tend to produce a lot of volatile sulphur compounds (hence why lager fermentations tend to smell like flatus), and again, the traditional long ageing of lagers gives time for this to off-gas. Ironically, maintaining an appropriate level of sulphur compounds in the warm-fermented beer can be difficult as the more vigorous fermentation tends to drive these compounds off. In my experience using a semi-sealed fermenter (carboy + blow-off tube) maintains enough of this character to stay in-style; using a more open fermenter such as a pail may lead to excess loss of these compounds, and an off-style finish.
