최상의 양조공정을 위한 효과적인 품질관리 솔루션
양조 품질에 대한 확신 - 싸토리우스 오염 검출 솔루션
양조의 예술과 미생물학의 과학. 서로가 따로는 존재할 수 없는 세기의 조합입니다. 양조장에는 효모균만 있는 것이 아니어서, 미생물이 혼입되게 되면 맥주의 품질을 좌우하는 맛과 향에 유해한 변화가 초래될 수 있습니다. 이와 같은 변화가 없이 최상의 품질과 안전성을 갖춘 제품을 출시해서 소비자의 식탁에 오르게 하는 것이야 말로 수제 맥주 양조장에서부터 내수용, 다국적 맥주 제조사까지 공통적으로 갖는 고민입니다.
싸토리우스의 품질 관리 솔루션을 도입하여 제품 고유의 맛을 그대로 보존하면서 소비자에게 안전한 제품을 공급할 수 있는 공정을 수립하시기 바랍니다.
고객사의 QC 공정에 부합하는 싸토리우스 솔루션
병입된 모든 제품이 일관된 물성, 향, 맛을 갖는 고품질의 맥주를 생산하기 위한 싸토리우스의 제품이 다양하게 준비되어 있습니다. 특히, 맥주 제품의 QC를 위한 솔루션은 다음과 같이 준비되어 있습니다.
원재료와 맥주박(Spent Grain)의 함수량 결정
몰트, 보리, 홉은 맥주의 핵심이 되는 원재료이며, 일관된 맥주 품질을 유지하기 위해 가장 먼저 고려하여야 할 점이 바로 원재료에 대한 확신이라고 볼 수 있습니다. 원재료의 함수량을 체크함으로써 진균에 의한 오염 여부를 확인한 이후에 비로소 양조를 시작할 수 있게 되며, 특히 몰트의 함수량은 몰트 추출물의 최적화, 그에 따른 맥주 완제품의 보관 중 품질 저하를 방지하는데 있어 대단히 중요한 요소입니다.
원재료의 함수량이 철저히 관리된 조건에서 양조하였을 때에는 폐기물을 효과적으로 재활용 할 수 있음은 물론, 생산이 끝나고 남게 되는 맥주박(Spent Grain) 등 양조 부산물도 사료용이나 증류주용으로 재판매 할 수 있게 됩니다. 이처럼 원재료 함수량 시험은 진균 오염 여부 확인은 물론, 맥주박(Spent Grain)의 가치에도 영향을 미치게 되는 중요한 공정입니다.
시험 대상
- 보리, 홉, 몰트 등 입고 원재료의 함수량 결정
- 맥주박(Spent Grain)과 효모의 수분분석
싸토리우스의 다양한 제품, 솔루션으로 원재료와 맥주박의 함수량을 신속하고 손쉽게 확인할 수 있습니다.

Water is the major ingredient in your beer brewing but is often overshadowed by its equally important teammates: hops and barley. So the quality of your water shouldn’t be taken for granted. Water for brewing must be of a purity standard appropriate for drinking water and you may even be treating your water so that your beer’s flavour profile doesn’t have regional taste differences if you have breweries in multiple locations.
Although cities routinely perform microbiological and chemical water monitoring, contamination of the water used in breweries, can occur during the production process affecting the quality and flavor of your beer, so regular testing of water supplies, piping, tubing/gaskets and water from external wells is essential.

Regular total colony counts and tests to identify coliform bacteria (specifically, E.coli) are recommended for microbiological quality control of this important ingredient.

Despite beer’s intrinsic anti‐microbial properties and having a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system in place, contamination can still occur at many stages of your brewing process. This can damage customer confidence and consequently your brand and may have a serious financial impact on your company. The main contaminants include: Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus lindneri and Pediococcus damnosus, as well as molds, wild strain yeasts and Saccharomyces species, all of which can survive hostile conditions and can have an undesirable effect on your beer quality.

To ensure your beer’s quality and flavor meet the highest standards, you need to perform quality control with analytical testing, on your incoming raw ingredients, during intermediate production steps, as well as before final release. These tests can detect the following:
- Sugar content, nitrogen compounds, salts and minerals, and other compounds that may be extracted in the mash or wort
- Alcohol content
- Measurement of pH value
- Compounds such as international bitterness units (IBUs), polyphenols, free amino nitrogen (FAN), sulfur dioxide, and color measurements
To run any analytical or sensory tests, you need the right tools for sample preparation, such as pipettes, laboratory balances, syringe filters, and filter papers. Additionally, no matter which analytical tests you are performing, high-quality, ultrapure water is important for preparing stock solutions, buffers and sample dilution for use in all your lab’s standard analytical applications.
What to test?
- Analytical tests can include Wet Chemistry Assays, pH, Gas Chromatography (GC), Atomic Adsorption (AA), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)
- High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can also provide you with valuable information about undesirable compounds in your raw ingredients.
The quality of your results is dependent on the quality of your samples, we provide the right products and solutions to make your analytical testing sample preparation fast, effective, and efficient.
