Brewery Microbial Testing Rapid detection of beer spoilage organisms – no prep required.

The media is formulated to inhibit brewer’s yeast, ensuring that only wild yeast organisms are detected. With no preparation required, these ready-to-use tubes streamline routine quality control, making wild yeast monitoring simple and efficient

The tubes contain a yellow broth, and interpretation is based on an increase in turbidity. When turbidity increases, it indicates the presence of wild yeast activity—providing brewers with a simple, effective solution for routine quality control in the brewery environment.
