Yeast can substitute or do without, but beer taste will probably be affected. Nonessential: Not necessary for yeast growth and fermentation, or proteins the yeast can make themselves. A majority of proteins in unmalted grains are extremely large. As with sugars, the brewing process removes these large proteins or progressively breaks them down into a size that is usable by the yeast. For example, large proteins are broken down during malting by the heating process. They are also broken down by the action of activated enzymes during mashing, but, even more importantly, many clump together and fall out of the beer.
They are often referred to as carbohydrates by chemists and biochemists. The atoms in sugars can combine to make a number of structures, but for our purposes, we only need to understand two simple sugar molecules—glucose and fructose—and a couple of more complex sugars made by connecting glucoses and/or fructose in various ways. The chemical structure of glucose and fructose molecules are illustrated. It’s not essential that homebrewers understand these thoroughly, so we’ll use G to refer to glucose and F for fructose.
Therefore, water, with its partial charges, is a great solvent for many things, including a number of the ingredients you want in your beer. But what about those things that don’t have charges and therefore can’t be dissolved easily by water, like many hop oils? ” Hydrophobic molecules either need something hydrophobic to dissolve in (remember “like dissolves like”) or they need to change to a molecule with some partial charges that can, therefore, dissolve. In brewing, this change is often referred to as isomerization, and just involves changing some of the bonds around until some partial charges are formed.
