Hi Guys,
Looking for some evidence to support that yeasties get stressed from under-pitching.
A lot of brewers suggest it is a reason for funky flavours etc.
I understand that temp fluctuations could impact and stress yeast, having to move from a growth phase back to a sleepy phase etc. It makes sense that sanitation/competition with other microbes could impact and stress. Same for funky water quality or pH.
But under-pitching, I have not been able to find any evidence other than here-say.
Can someone please direct me to some valid research or a sound theory that i could look into?
