Dimethyl sulphide formation in malt occurs primarily during the kilning process, and is significantly dependent upon the maximum kilning temperature. During mashing a considerable fraction of the dimethyl sulphide of malt is transferred to the wort. Since this is not always completely removed by the wort boiling process, the remaining dimethyl sulphide, although decreased during fermentation, may be sufficient to impart a noticeable dimethyl sulphide aroma to the finished beer.
