Laboratory

To enable the analysis of key product quality parameters, laboratory equipment is required.  In small breweries, this equipment can be placed on a bench somewhere in the brewery. 

In larger breweries, the building should be designed to incorporate three separate testing areas; an analytical laboratory; a microbiological laboratory and a tasting room.

The type of equipment required will depend on which parameters you would like to measure and your budget. Brewtique can provide you with advice in this area and also source whatever equipment you require.

Typical parameters measured in a microbrewery include the following:

Gravity (Plato)
Alcohol
pH
CO₂
Colour
O₂
Haze (Turbidity)
