Laboratory Equipment for Brewery Science THE QUEST FOR THE WORLD’S BEST BEER The secret to good beer is found in the highest quality ingredients. And while it is true the ingredients provide the base for a good brew, every brewer knows that quality beer begins with the meticulous examination and handling of ingredients as well as the yeast culture strain. Air Science offers a complete selection of Laminar Flow Hoods, Ductless Fume Hoods, and Custom Built Enclosures that can help brewers in their quest for the perfect brew, every time. Learn more about our products below or contact us for details on your specific needs. LAMINAR FLOW HOODS: ASEPTIC TECHNIQUES From its earliest stage, beer preparation requires the highest level of cleanliness and sterility. In “The Brewer’s Laboratory Handbook: Brewing without the Blindfold” the case is made for creating an aseptic environment when creating and handling yeast culture strains. Aseptic techniques create a barrier between the contaminants in the environment and the sterile culture cell, and many brewers create positive pressure enclosures as a simple solution to this problem. Models VLF-48 and HLF-72; HLF-72 shown on optional cart. Air Science Laminar Flow Hoods are high efficiency cabinets ideally suited for use with non-hazardous contaminants where flexible access to the equipment in the work zone is required. • All Purair FLOW models are equipped with HEPA filtration (optional ULPA filter) and LF Series hoods come standard with ULPA filtration. • Purair ® FLOW Series vertical laminar flow cabinets are compact and are ideal for use where space is limited. • FLOW series hoods (vertical flow) are available in widths of 24", 36", and 48". • The Purair LF Series Vertical and Horizontal laminar flow cabinets are well suited for larger operations or where more space is available for setup. • LF Series hoods (vertical or horizontal flow) are available in 24", 36", 48", 60", 72" and 96" widths. Horizontal flow LF Series hoods are optionally available as extra tall models. • Stainless steel models available upon request. For more information: airs

The Quest for the World’s Best Beer: Laboratory Equipment for Brewery Science DUCTLESS FUME HOODS: QUALITY ASSURANCE, FLAVORING, BITTERNESS TESTING Quality assurance testing is performed throughout the brewing process to ensure a variety of variables are kept in check. Consistency in taste, acidity (bitterness) and flavor are important factors that brewers must consider. Laminar flow hoods do not usually protect the product or the user when these tests are in process. Here, we recommend the use of ductless fume hoods equipped with carbon filtration. Ductless fume hoods are cost effective and...
