9.7 - Final Attenuation of Beer
The determination of the final attenuation of beer using a yeast procedure.
It is necessary to use EBC Methods 8.6.1 and 8.6.2
The determination of the final attenuation of beer using a yeast procedure.
It is necessary to use EBC Methods 8.6.1 and 8.6.2
The determination of the bitter substances in beer, which are mainly iso-α-acids.
This Method was updated in 2020. The update covers the “Precision Chapter”. It now contains two tables. In addition to the table on conventionally-hopped beers, it also reflects the results of a second collaborative trial on dry-hopped beers carried out in 2019 covering higher BU levels.
The determination of total nitrogen content of beer by a Kjeldahl procedure.
It is necessary to use EBC Method 3.3.1
The determination of the total nitrogen content of beer, by the Dumas combustion method.
The international method for the determination of free amino nitrogen in pale or dark beers. 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.
It is necessary to use EBC Method 8.10
The determination of the free amino nitrogen content in beer using photometric measurement of OPA (o-Phthaldialdehyde) and NAC (N-acetyl cysteine). The method is performed manually or automatically at a 340 nm wavelength at 37 °C temperature. In the automated method, the side wavelength of 700 or 750 nm is also measured. The method estimates amino acids by measuring the terminal α-amino nitrogen groups of peptides and proteins. The method is specific for α-amino nitrogen. Proline, ammonia or ammonium are not included.
The determination of total polyphenols in beer by spectrophotometry. Descriptors: weight required, percentage of iron in the ammonium iron citrate, polyphenol content, absorbance at 600 nm, dilution factor.
The determination of flavanoids in beer by spectrophotometry.
International method for the determination of iron in beer by spectrophotometry. Most of the cations of interest in brewing can be conveniently and quickly measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, using methods described in the literature. Descriptors: Iron in mg/litre, Calibration factor derived from the calibration graph, Absorbance at 505 or 520 nm with iron reagent added to the beer, Absorbance at 505 or 520 nm with water added to the beer.
The determination of iron in beer by spectrophotometry using Ferrozine. Descriptors: absorbance at 562 nm for the test solution, absorbance at 562 nm for the sample blank solution, standard calibration slope.
International method for the determination of iron in beer by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
