H, you have unearthed some very interesting info here. I can't claim to understand the technical aspects of the chemistry but I do appreciate the evidence and applied science.
That's intriguing about the differential effect of certain hop+yeast+hot-or-cold-side combos, such as cascade on hotside eith Citra on coldside for best aroma and flavour result.
Plus, the old anecdote that Nottingham suppresses hop flavours is visible right there in the Lallemand chart as low β-glucosidase. So maybe a combo of Nottingham and Windsor could be beneficial for those using dry yeast in British beer?
This is the kind of stuff that isn't mentioned often. It's obviously more advanced so less accessible for basic brewers like myself, yet some simple lookup charts or lists based on hop+yeast combos could go a long way toward more effective recipe design.
I know it's not all about the optimum hop aroma/flavour. Some weird combos may give great aroma but are unlikely to work in reality, such as Hall. Blanc and Sorachi Ace dry hop with Kölsch and Munich Classic mixed fermentation. Yet, you never know ...
I'm interested to learn how the 3-way test goes. Keep us updated.
Yes I will - but feel free to join in!
