EBC Method 3.5.3 Live Yeast Detection with FastOrangeÒYeast Medium (IM) from 2021 allows the detection of yeast cells of all species including brewing yeast strains which are alive and have the capability to proliferate.

EBC Method 4.2.7.1 Dekkera (formerly Brettanomyces) Detection with FastOrangeÒ Brett Medium (IM) from 2021 allows for the detection of super-attenuating Dekkera yeasts – formerly Brettanomyces – in brewery samples or within other yeasts on FastOrangeÒ BRETT agar medium.

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.

EBC Method 8.13.3 β-Glucan in Wort by Automated Discrete Analysis (IM) – 2021 allows for the determination of beta-glucan in wort samples.

Today, the European Brewery Convention (EBC) and the American Society of Brewing Chemists (ASBC) are pleased to release two International Methods developed over the past three years by experts on both side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Methods are available on BrewUp (www.brewup.eu) for the EBC and on the ASBC website (www.asbcnet.org).
