Our Current Offerings of
Analytical Tests
Alcohol by Volume + Weight
This method provides you with data on the alcohol by volume (%ABV, %v/v) and weight (%w/w) using the Anton Paar Beer Alcolyzer and DMA methods.
Calories
Test the amount of calories in your product.
Color
Testing color is fundamental in the brewing process because it allows brewers to make sure that their beer is consistently the same color and that it falls within the expectation of taste for the consumer.
Gluten
Test the amount of gluten in your beverage (great for gluten free / near gluten free beers).
IBU
Testing International Bitterness Units (IBUs) in the brewing process is essential as it is a measurement of how bitter a beer is. IBU measures the bitterness of the beer by measuring for the chemicals in the beer that make it taste bitter.
pH
Testing pH is a necessity during the brewing process because it can help to recognize infections and possible harsh flavors to be seen before they are consumed and to keep the ideal conditions of ingredients consistent.
Protein
This method will provide you with data on the percent weight of protein in your beer. This information can be helpful in determining what is influencing foam retention, mouth-feel characteristics, haze, or undesirable bitterness.
VDK
Identifies two organic compounds that occur in the fermentation process that create a buttery flavor and aroma.
