Free amino nitrogen improvement in sorghum grain brewing

Free amino nitrogen (FAN) levels in sorghum grain brewing are characteristically low as a direct consequence of the very low levels of FAN in unmalted sorghum grain. During fermentation, FAN provides nutritional support to the yeast, enabling optimal yeast growth and efficient fermentation. Exogenou...
