Suitable for craft and microbreweries

The Brewers QCheck® Kit which is user-friendly and accurate is well designed for craft and small brewery owners that may not have the same level of expertise or access to lab equipment available to large breweries. With the new kit, small operators may still meet the quality standards for taste, quality and uniqueness often sought in craft since they will be able to analyze everything in the process, from raw materials to filling.

There are now more than 8,000 craft and microbreweries worldwide, and the number is increasing daily. They create innovative beers with high standards for taste, quality and uniqueness. With low investment costs and without comprehensive knowledge of microbiology, small breweries can meet these standards with the new Brewers QCheck® Kit. The Brewers QCheck® Kit is an all-in-one solution that allows the entire brewing process to be checked from the raw materials all the way to filling, and thus offers comprehensive microbiological safety.

Analysis of raw materials, water and dispensing units

The Brewers QCheck® Kit consists of three different culture media: LMC concentrate, NBB®-B and NBB®-B-Am tubes. Critical indicator microorganisms can be immediately and reliably detected, for example, in water analysis with LMC concentrate. With the ready-to-use NBB®-B tubes, it is possible to detect beer spoiling microorganisms Lactobacilli, Pediococci, Pectinatus and Megasphaera in yeast as well as beer that is clear and yeast-turbid. The kit additionally ensures reliable hygiene monitoring with the NBB®-B-Am tubes, of production, filling or dispensing units.
