Initially we thought this may have been a one-time occurrence, but through extensive testing we have discovered that the abundance of bound thiols is unique to the terroir of New York State! With up to three times more 3MH Precursors (Passionfruit\/Grapefruit\/Guava) than PNW Cascade, our 023™ branded Cascade is a powerhouse of flavors for thiolized beers. We highly recommend utilizing these TRUE90™ pellets in the mash with a thiolized yeast like Cosmic Punch® or Star Party™ from Omega Yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat are Bound Thiols?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Bound thiols are a precursor compound that consists of a thiol (a class of aromatic compound) bound to glutathione, cysteine, and dipeptide intermediates.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The bound thiol content normally consists of a higher concentration of bound 3SH\/3MH (Passionfruit\/Grapefruit\/Guava), than found in the free thiol content of many varieties of hops.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow Do You Unlock Bound Thiols?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlocking bound thiols requires a two-step process:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Mash Hopping!!!
