The Centro Analisi CAIM laboratory, drawing on extensive expertise in the beverage sector, offers a dedicated service for assessing the microbiological stability of all types of beer – from craft brews to industrial-scale production.
Using rapid and reliable analytical methods, we detect the presence of spoilage microorganisms – such as wild yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and others – which may escape standard quality control procedures. The service is structured into two main phases:
- Microbiological analysis after incubation: carried out under conditions that favor the growth of latent contaminants.
- Comparative organoleptic analysis (pre-/post-incubation): used to assess sensory changes, including turbidity, off-odors, off-flavors, and other defects.
The analysis can be customized based on:
- the type of beer (unpasteurized, bottle-conditioned, filtered, etc.),
- the production process,
- the intended shelf-life.
