How to Improve the Quality of Brewed Beer？

Quality assurance is always a top priority in any area of the food or beverage industry. Breweries are a special member of the industry and require constant commitment to the quality assurance of their products. This fact is especially true for large breweries where products are shipped to different markets for consumers to consume. Here are some tips to help brewery operations improve quality assurance.

Keep detailed records

One of the most important things a brewery of any size can do is keep a detailed record of all brewing data. Every beer brewed by a brewery should have a unique identification number, and key metrics are recorded throughout the brewing and bottling process, from beer production to packaging. Additionally, records should be kept digitally as this will help ensure more accurate numbers and readings for beer production. Detailed records also help ensure that brewers understand information such as how long the brewing process takes, the number of ingredients used, and any potential improvements.

Hygiene habits

Another important way for a brewery to improve quality assurance is to ensure the best possible hygiene practices are used. Keeping breweries clean and sanitized is critical and required by law. That doesn't just mean keeping facilities and brewing equipment clean. Having a sanitary drainage system in every area of the brewery is a must. The right type of sanitary drainage system not only contributes to the cleanliness and sanitation of the brewery, it can also help improve wastewater management while reducing overall water usage, maintenance costs and even utility bills. Sanitary drainage systems, usually pre-sloped and grating-less, are a great option to meet all legal brewery requirements at a reasonable cost.

Weekly tasting

For a product like beer, taste is very important. The taste of any beer will vary from batch to batch due to ingredient quality, brewing conditions and many other factors. Therefore, it is important for the brewery to sample some product from each new batch to help ensure optimal quality. This gives them the opportunity to prevent inferior batches from being ready for sale, which helps eliminate any changes and negative product reviews.

Quality budget

Just as brewers want to taste every new batch of beer they brew, they too should pay special attention to the quality of the ingredients they use. To produce the best product, brewers should use high-quality ingredients. While the cost may be higher, it is possible and proves to be very beneficial if the brewer takes the time to adjust the budget accordingly. Using high-quality yeast and hops can brew better-tasting beer, which can attract more customers and thus increase sales.

Have a laboratory

A good large brewery should invest in at least one small laboratory system. Before the actual brewing process begins, the laboratory helps to scrutinize and test the quality of the individual ingredients. Laboratory equipment can also be used to test beer after brewing, checking the correct level of pH and other important factors. While this may seem extreme, a lab doesn't have to cost a fortune, and having one can prove to be very beneficial for creating the best beer.

A brewery needs to do a lot to function properly. But beyond simple operations, breweries need to take all the necessary steps to guarantee the quality of their beers. These are just a few tips to help brewers get on the right track. For anyone looking to start a large-scale brewing business, these are some basic tips to keep in mind.
