How filtration and UV-Vis analysis improve beer quality and consistency
Friday, November 13 at 14:30 GMT | 15:30 CET | 09:30 EST | 06:30 PST
Great beer starts with consistency. From fermentation through to the finished product, brewers rely on robust process monitoring and quality control strategies to ensure every batch meets expectations for taste, appearance, and stability.
Filtration and analytical testing play essential roles throughout the brewing workflow, helping breweries remove unwanted particulates, improve clarity, monitor product quality, and minimise the risk of contamination. As production demands increase, having reliable methods to assess critical quality parameters becomes increasingly important.
In this SelectScience® webinar, Dr. Jennifer Empey-Kohl, Applications Scientist and Rebecca Lucht, Advanced Industrial Filtration Specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, will demonstrate how filtration technologies and UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry can support quality assurance across the brewing process.
Discover how brewers use these techniques to assess key quality parameters, including bitterness (International Bitterness Units, IBU), beer colour, and vicinal diketones (VDKs), while improving product clarity, reducing contamination risks, and supporting consistent beer quality from fermentation through to the finished product.
