Brewing Services & Consultancy Ltd has worked with over 200 breweries in the UK and abroad, offering training, advice and technical support. Our mission is to help establish breweries with a complete commitment to quality, promote excellence throughout the brewing process, assist brewers in producing beers of the highest possible standard and train brewers to achieve their full potential. Brewing & QA Surveys At Brewing Services, we believe that good technique, consistency and efficiency are the foundations of great beer. Through a combination of on-site surveys and remote technical support, we provide a service tailored to your needs, looking at your brewing process and procedures, from raw materials to the quality of the beer on the bar, along with microbiological checks, analytical testing of products and hygiene monitoring. Training Providing on-site training, exam mentoring and brewing courses, Brewing Services has helped increase the knowledge of hundreds of brewers. Our ‘Fundamentals of Mini-Brewing’, a four- day residential training course held in March and November each year, covers the basics of brewing theory and good brewing practice through a combination of lectures, workshops and visits, with participants gaining greater insight into the art, science and craft of brewing. Start-Up Services We aim to help you make a better beer before you’ve even brewed your first pint. Our Start-Up Consultancy service covers initial feasibility studies, through site and equipment planning, to training, recipe development and commissioning. We provide full support over those first critical brews. For further details of any of our services, come and visit us at BeerX stand 154. The ability to quickly and accurately test chemical and microbiological parameters throughout the brewing process helps improve quality and consistency in the brewery, which are vital considerations for the production of great beer. During this year’s SIBA BeerX exhibition in Liverpool, QCL will be showcasing two systems for in-house laboratory testing on stand 10: • CDR BeerLab is a fast and reliable analyser that measures a wide range of parameters in the brewing process including ABV, Bitterness, Colour and pH. By monitoring the brewing process – from HLT to packaged product – the BeerLab can help avoid the use of excess ingredients, monitor mash progression, and investigate IBU pick-up from new equipment and during dry-hopping. • Invisible Sentinel rapid microbiology tests for beer spoilage organisms can be used to detect Hop-resistant Pediococcus and Lactobacillus in under 3-hours and can also be used to detect Brettanomyces Wild yeast and Saccharomyces Diastaticus in less than 4-hours. The system can be used to check finished beer samples, fermenting beer samples, yeast slurries and environmental swabs – all ensuring that your beer reaches the customer exactly how you wish. 50 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS www.qclscientific.com For more information visit: www.brewingservices.co.uk For more information visit: QCL Scientific STAND 10 BeerX 2018 PREVIEW Brewing Services & Consultancy Ltd.
