Layman's explanation: DMS results from malt, and from the short or weak boil of wort, slow chilling, or bacterial infection during beer-brewing processes. Also, DMS is found in large amounts in the oceans when the phytoplankton bloom releases it. DMS is used as a solvent for a variety of organic and inorganic materials. It is employed as a pre-sulfiding agent for catalysts in the refinery and petrochemical manufacturing process, and is also used in steel mill furnaces to control dusting.
