For beer production, it is essential to have sufficient quantities of viable yeast cells from the starter culture and to monitor these cells regularly during the fermentation process. Since numerous flavour and aroma compounds are produced during the fermentation of sugar into alcohol, live yeasts play a decisive role in the development of the typical, individual flavour profile of different types of beer.
In addition to monitoring the yeast cultures, the analysis of the process and cleaning water used also plays an important role for the brewer. This is because after a brewing process, the production and process systems must be rinsed and cleaned with water (cleaning in place). It should be ensured that these procedures are also closely monitored so that no potential harmful germs remain and, above all, the systems can be refilled as quickly as possible.
In modern beer production, every hour and every cell counts. To ensure that taste, stability and hygiene remain at the highest level, all processes from the yeast starter culture to the cleaning of the systems must be precisely controlled.
Challenges in the beer market
With our solutions for breweries, you create the basis for consistent quality and maximum process reliability. Our analytics deliver precise results in real time – directly where they are needed – in the company. This allows you to maintain an overview of the vitality of the yeasts, the hygienic condition of your systems and the efficiency of your processes at all times. The result: less downtime, more stability and a beer that always meets your quality requirements.
Typical areas of application:
We provide precise, rapid and reliable microbiological quality control for demanding applications.
Ensuring microbiological purity in beverages of all kinds
Ongoing analysis of yeast activity to ensure stable and consistent fermentation processes.
Rapid microbiological testing of rinse and process water for efficient plant release.
Precise data collection for optimising new recipes and brewing processes.
With the mycotoxin kits, up to 6 mycotoxins (Mycotoxins Screening Kit) can be detected in one sample. In addition, detection for field (Field Toxins Kit) and storage toxins (Storage Toxins Kit) is possible.
The CellTrics™ filters (e.g. CellTrics™ 30µm) help, for example, when using the CyStain™ VitalCount Kit to filter the sample after (optional) pre-incubation. The microorganisms pass through the filter and can be stained in the next step, while the sample substance remains in the filter.
Das CyStain™ VitalCount Kit hilft Ihnen lebende Mikroorganismen sicher in Bier und vielen anderen Getränken nachzuweisen.
Reagent for counting vital and dead yeasts in culture. For checking the quality of the fermentation batch.
With the CyFlow™ RI-300 Flow Cytometer and CyFlow™ AL-20 Autoloader, you can quickly and easily detect microorganisms. Discover the next level of microbiological quality control with results in minutes.
Die BacCount Reagenzien erlauben die Bestimmung des Total Cell Counts (TCC) und des Vital Cell Counts (VCC) in Produktions- und Prozesswässern.
Reagent for counting vital yeasts in wine and beer during and after alcoholic fermentation. Screening for the presence of spoilage yeasts after completion of alcoholic fermentation.
Reagent kit for highly specific detection and counting of Brettanomyces bruxellensis in beer, wine and their precursors.
Reagent kit for the early detection of harmful microorganisms (lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria) during beer production.
Reagent kit for the highly specific detection and counting of Dekkera anomala in wine, cider, beer and other beverages.
