{"product_id":"zero-hero","title":"Zero Hero","description":"\u003cp\u003eWHC Zero Hero is a dry \u003cem\u003eTorulaspora delbrueckii\u003c\/em\u003e strain for non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beer. This is not a \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces\u003c\/em\u003e yeast. It is both maltose and maltotriose negative, so it cannot ferment the bulk of wort sugars and stops at 16 to 20% apparent attenuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat restraint is the whole point. Zero Hero produces beer under 0.5% ABV while leaving the body and residual sweetness that make NA beer drinkable, instead of the thin, worty result you get from an arrested fermentation. Temperature is the flavor lever: cooler reads neutral and clean, warmer brings out fruity esters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrewing with Zero Hero\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePasteurisation is required. The beer leaves fermentation loaded with fermentable sugar, so any \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces\u003c\/em\u003e contamination in package will referment it.
