Beer

Composed of raw ingredients such as malt derived from sprouted barley, hops, brewer's yeast, and water, beer is universally cherished for that distinct aroma of its hops and that cool, refreshing, fizzy feeling produced by its carbonation.

Beer is divided into different categories such as top-fermenting ales and bottom-fermenting lagers, depending on the brewing method and the type of yeast.
Generally speaking, the flavor of "beer" greatly differs, depending on the brewing method.

Preparation

Wort Conentration Control

Wort, the source of beer, is measured most commonly during the boiling process.

Fermentation

Fermentation Process Management

During fermentation, yeast converts most of the sugar in the wort to alcohol and carbon dioxide gas. Brix is used to determine when to stop the alcohol fermentation process.

Bottling

Pre-Bottling Final Check

A final check on the product before bottling is made to make sure it is within specifcations. Controlling the switch between various liquids can help reduce liquid loss.

Brix example

Beer measures about 4 to 5% Brix.

Check for liquid switch

When switching to a new liquid on the production line, the concentration can be checked for whether or not it has been changed.

Cleaning Solution Concentration Check

Used to monitor appropriate concentration level of the caustic soda or peracetic acid used to sanitize the piping system.
