I agree with of much of what was said. In addition, having a healthy/viable pitch into a properly aerated wort is helpful toward minimizing this off-flavor. Allowing the yeast ample time to clean-up after fermentation is the key to mitigating acetaldehyde. This then must be checked by tasting before racking/lagering into the keg or bottling. Time is on your side.
