Testing of instruments mea­suring original gravity inline

Measurement of original gravity in the brewhouse section using inline techniques provides a practical and easy alternative to traditional spindling. But how accurate are these measurement methods? In order to determine how the readings compare to those of laboratory instruments, three original gravity inline measuring instruments from different manufacturers were tested, using a dedicated test setup, in cooperation with the Forschungszentrum Weihenstephan für Brau- und Lebensmittelqualität (Weihenstephan Research Centre for Brewing and Food Quality) and four industrial operations.
