Employer Description:
Brewlab offers a range of services to the brewing and beverage industry. We offer a range of specialist training courses for those trying brewing for the first time through to professional brewers looking to keep their skills and knowledge up to date. Our expert laboratory services help breweries save time and money, optimising quality control processes, reducing risk, and supporting new product development. Brewlab’s analysis services provide assurance and development for breweries seeking to manage consistency and evaluate prospects for future products. Quality assurance is provided by our routine analyses of standard brewing parameters – alcohol by volume, specific gravities, colour, pH and bitterness – each of which provides critical data on brewing performance. ABV is essential for regulatory declarations but other data allow for trend analysis and assessment of consistency. Our due diligence packages provide a structured system for regular feedback and early alerts for variations. More advanced analyses are available for fault finding and product development. Use of new and novel ingredients requires assessment of suitability while recipe developments require detailed product assessment. Yeast strains frequently require characterising and matching to product and faulted beers require identification of causes. Brewlab services include modern techniques for chemical and microbiology testing and include long-term research options.
