The aim of this paper was therefore to study the evolution of
physico-chemical characteristics, sensory profiles and volatile
compounds of three different craft durum wheat beers during aging,
stored for a period of six months using two different temperatures:
shelf temperature (28 C) and normal cold storage
temperature (8 C). The three beers brewed in a micro-brewery
located in the south-east of Sardinia, Italy, were fermented with
three different yeasts, one commercial and two autochthonous that
were isolated from a craft Sardinian sourdough. To our knowledge
this is the first study on aging of craft durum wheat beers in order
to investigate the possibility of expanding the market for craft beers
outside of the region.
