Craft Beer Processor Application Sites

1. Incoming water sampling

Install a QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Port to test for water ions (calcium, magnesium, sulfate, sodium, chloride, and bicarbonates) and microorganism counts.

2. Whirpooling

Install a QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Port to test wort for specific gravity, turbidity, and microbiological contamination.

3. Wort cooling and peristaltic pump

Install an inline QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Port to test for microbiological contamination. The peristaltic pump is the key to a controlled sample volume of wort that is collected into the QualiTru Sterile Collection Bags. Since the sampling is a constant flow, you get a complete representative sample of all wort that enters the fermentation tank for the most dependable quality sample available.

4. Fermentation tank

Install a QualiTru Sanitary Recessed Port in the fermentation tank to obtain an aseptic sample at various times throughout the fermentation process.

5. Filtering

Install a QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Port before and after each piece of equipment as part of a system diagnostic function to check for alcohol, turbidity, yeast counts, and microbiological contamination.

6. Finished product sampling

Install a QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Recessed Port in the finished goods tank to obtain quality samples throughout the beer maturation process.

7. Filler

Install a QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Port just prior to the filler to obtain a quality sample. Can also be used to check the effectiveness of the system CIP process.

8. Clean in place (CIP)

Install a QualiTru TruStream Sanitary Port to sample CIP rinse water to ensure the process is effective.
