Beer, Wort | Fast and Reliable Density and Viscosity Measurement of Wort
The Anton Paar wort measuring system allows for evaluation of critical quality control parameters and ensures that only raw materials of highest quality are used. The Xsample 5100 offers a reliable and fully automated measuring solution, which delivers high-quality data in a short space of time.
For brewers, consistent beer quality starts with reliable control of raw materials. Malt quality can vary with harvest conditions, growing region, soil composition, barley variety, and malting process. Because each beer recipe requires defined malt properties, malt analysis is an essential quality control step in malt houses and breweries.
A common approach for evaluating malt performance is the analysis of congress wort. Congress wort is produced from malt using a standardized congress mash procedure and is then characterized by parameters such as extract, density, pH, viscosity, and color. These values provide practical information on the malt’s processability and its expected contribution to the brewing process.
While malt houses routinely perform these analyses, breweries may also check incoming malt to verify that it meets the required specifications before production. Fast and reliable density and viscosity measurements can support efficient raw material control and help reduce delays before subsequent production steps.
