Yes, that makes sense. I'll see what else I can find in the index of 'Abriss'. Did you try Kunze? Fix?

Kunze states (1.1.4.5.2) that AA is naturally present in small amounts in barley. He later states (4.6.2.4.3) that ascorbic acid at 2-8 mg/hl can offer protection from aging; however, it can be detrimental to long term storage due to breakdown from AA into DHAA. Confirmation of the natural AA, but he seems otherwise to be simply citing the literature.

which is pretty much what Narziss states.

Wonder how long long term is. If we're lagering then drinking the kegs relatively quickly may be fine.
