Rethink beer filtration with new xylanase
Novozymes’ latest offering, Ultraflo Max, challenges traditional filtration enzymes and provides a unique solution to tackle filtration problems experienced by brewers. Lautering, or mash filtration, and beer filtration are two distinctive steps in the brewing process. Both of these filtration procedures are influenced by the chemical composition of the wort, or the beer, and therefore depend on the quality of the raw material. As inconsistencies in either filtration step can cause a significant increase in production costs, the scientific background of filtration problems has been of importance to brewers for a long time.
