=====Sugar Utilization=====
During fermentation trials of these 10 strains mentioned, sugar content was measured both before and after fermentation via HPLC. Tests showed the the sugar utilization of ''T Delbruekii'' is very strain dependent. However all of the strains but one were shown to not ferment Maltose and Maltotriose. Although these tests do not show if these strains are able to utilize Lactose, Eureka Brewing's blog mentions that they are unable to metabolize it. The table below shows the percentages of sugars metabolized in the test wort by each strain.
