Analysis of Wine, Beer, & Spirits
Quality Control for Wine, Beer, & Spirits
What are the factors that contribute to great wine, beer, and spirits? Simply speaking, you need great ingredients, well-refined processes, and a dedication to the craft. But, if you break each of those macro factors down, the formula for success involves science at each stage - from analysis of raw material (grapes, cereals, etc.), to monitoring fermentation, to analyzing final product for bottling - to ensure quality is controlled and you are consistently producing your best product. KPM Analytics provides fully automated and easy-to-use Continuous Flow and Discrete Analysis Technologies along with ready-to-use reagents to simultaneously analyze many parameters.
Moisture & Compositional Analysis
KPM offers solutions for near-infrared (NIR) analysis of ingredients used for distilling liquor and beer making, such as grains, barley & hops, fruits, vegetables, and sugar. Using NIR, producers can easily detect any issues with the quality of their ingredients and take corrective action quickly, ensuring that they can produce high-quality beverages consistently.
