Live monitoring of lauter tun and kettle wort extract, as well as
beer extract and alcohol, is a useful method of monitoring overall
brewhouse and brewery efficiency. Currently, only expensive statistical
process control (SPC) software or programmers with the knowledge to do
it themselves have the means to make it possible. By combining in-line
extract and/or alcohol measurement with often existing flow meters, the
total mass of extract and/or alcohol is measured. Monitoring the total
mass of extract and/or alcohol provides the user more information to
actively compare batches, investigate process fluctuations, identify and
monitor critical control points (CCP) and make any adjustments. This
presentation will describe a method of combining existing process
sensors in detail to measure the total mass of extract and alcohol and
demonstrate how it can be used to identify process shortcomings, reduce
production loss and improve brewhouse and brewery efficiency.
Daniel Gore received his B.A. degree from the University of
Maryland, including two years of study in Germany. Afterward, Daniel
completed a brewer and maltster apprenticeship at the Lammbrauerei
Hilsenbeck in Gruibingen, Germany. He worked as a journeyman at Uerige
Hausbrauerei in Düsseldorf, Quenzer Bräu in Bad Urach, and again at the
Lammbrauerei Hilsenbeck before moving back to the United States as
brewmaster at the Long Trail Brewing Co. in Vermont. In 2006, Daniel
started with Anton Paar USA in technical sales and in 2010 became the
beverage application and product specialist for Process Instruments at
Anton Paar’s headquarters in Graz, Austria. In this role he supports new
and existing applications and customers around the world.
