"Aseptic level"

"...0.825 ppm molecular is required to suppress growth of Brettanomyces/Dekkera sp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae according to one study. [Beech et al]..."



I'm pretty sure that this is the one that made me think that the "aseptic" level should be (was?) increased to 0.83 ppm. Since this is the level needed to cover "brett", I just automatically jacked up my levels the first time I read this. Am I confused about this ??


Nope, that seems right to me.

The upper end of the aseptic level that I've seen (in Margalit's books) is 0.8 molecular, so that's pretty close to 0.825.

Brett is a a pain.

Where's the above quote from?
