White Labs
As a world-leader in the manufacture of liquid yeast,
expansion of our analytical laboratory has always been a goal. In recent
years, we have introduced Big QC Day, beer analysis by Gas Chromatography
and Beer Analyzer, as well as the new Beer Twin Test.
Keeping with this goal, this spring White Labs began
partnering with Siebel Institute of Technology as an authorized Siebel
testing laboratory for the beverage industry.
White Labs now offers a whole host of new tests through
Siebel, in addition to the wide range of analyses that we already perform.
Some of these tests are the Comprehensive Analysis which includes color,
foam, clarity, extract, alcohol, attenuation, protein, acidity, IBU, and
SO2; Flavor Profile which includes esters, fusels, DMS, and VDKs; CO2 and
air headspace; Free Amino Nitrogen; and Yeast Fermentable Extract.
We’re very excited to be working with Siebel in this
endeavor and feel that the partnership will lead to a great deal of
valuable information for brewers and distributors alike. As brewers the
world over continue to move towards a more formal evaluation of their
products, we strive to increase the availability and convenience of
analyses for them.
With a strong belief that routine analyses can help all
brewers produce a consistent product we recommend looking into analytical
services if you haven’t already.
Some of the new services we offer include nutritional
analysis, fermentability test kit (to test the fermentability of your malt
and wort), and the Beer Twin comparison test. We’re more than happy to
customize any testing that you may be interested in. If you’re looking
for something specific, ask us! |
