Breweries need to carefully monitor all stages of production from analyzing raw materials and drinking water, to inprocess and disinfection controls, to testing the finished product and wastewater. Beer quality and consistency are judged through parameters such as bitterness, flavonoids, free amino nitrogen, color, calcium content, zinc content, and microbiological contamination. The workflow diagram shows a selection of products you need for reliable beer analysis. In particular, SpectroquantR Prove spectrophotometers feature pre-programmed methods according to international standards to help you quickly and accurately monitor beer quality and maturity.
