8.6.2 - Fermentability, Attenuation Limit of Wort Rapid Fermentation

The determination of the amount of fermentable sugars in the wort using a rapid yeast procedure. This rapid method is given for guideline purposes only. It must be taken into consideration that the rapid method may lead to lower results compared to the reference method (EBC Method 8.6.1).

8.7 - Fermentable Carbohydrates in Wort by HPLC (IM)

The determination of fructose, glucose and sugars with 2 and 3 degrees of polymerization (DP2 and DP3) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The DP2 peak is primarily maltose, while the DP3 peak is primarily maltotriose. The method cannot distinguish between different disaccharides or between different trisaccharides. Flow rate and column temperature are considered to be sensitive parameters. Deviating from the procedure may alter the results.

8.10.1 - Free Amino Nitrogen in Wort by Spectrophotometry - Manual Method (IM)

The determination of the free amino nitrogen content of wort using colorimetry with ninhydrin. The method gives an estimate of amino acids, ammonia and, in addition, the terminal α-amino nitrogen groups of peptides and proteins. Proline is partially estimated at the wavelength used. The method is not specific for α-amino nitrogen since γ-butyric acid which is present in wort gives a colour reaction with ninhydrin.

The determination of the free amino nitrogen content of wort using colorimetry with ninhydrin. The method gives an estimate of amino acids, ammonia and, in addition, the terminal α-amino nitrogen groups of peptides and proteins. Proline is partially estimated at the wavelength used. The method is not specific for α-amino nitrogen since γ-butyric acid which is present in wort gives a colour reaction with ninhydrin.

8.10.3 - Free amino nitrogen in wort by automated discrete analysis (IM)

EBC Method 8.10.3 Free Amino Nitrogen in Wort by Automated Discrete Analysis (IM) – 2021 allows for the determination of the free amino nitrogen content in wort using photometric measurement of OPA (oPhthaldialdehyde) and NAC (N-acetyl cysteine). The method is performed manually or automatically at a 340 nm wavelength at 37 °C temperature.

8.19.1 - Dissolved Oxygen in Wort using Optical Sensors

The determination of dissolved oxygen in wort using optical oxygen sensors. Descriptors: solubility of oxygen in water in equilibrium with air at 1,01325 bar and vapour pressure of water in equilibrium with air, solubility of oxygen.

8.20 - Iso-alpha-acids and alpha-acids in wort by HPLC

This method specifies a high performance liquid chromatographic technique for the simultaneous determination of iso-α-acids (iso) and α-acids (alpha) in wort. It is recommended for wort samples containing α-acids and iso-α-acids. Due to the coelution of iso-α-acids (or α-acids) and reduced iso-α-acids, this method is not recommended for the analysis of wort samples containing reduced iso-α-acids.
