GV C: control; GV 12 h SC: 12 h of prefermentation skin contact; GV PMF: partial mash fermentation; GV FMF: full mash fermentation. N = 3 per treatment variant. The same letter indicates no significant difference. The data were analysed with one-way analysis of variance with the Benjamin–Hochberg correction followed by the Tukey B test for pairwise comparisons ().
