Beer Filtration Solution

Beer is a low-alcohol beverage containing carbon dioxide, made from malt, hops, and water as the main ingredients, and brewed through yeast fermentation. The beer production process includes several steps such as malt production, malt juice production, pre-fermentation, post-fermentation (also known as maturation), filtration sterilization, and packaging. According to industry development and consumer demand, it is mainly divided into: mature beer, draft beer, live beer, or fresh beer. With the increasingly fierce competition in the beer market and people's higher requirements for beer quality, improving the quality of beer has become very important, and beer filtration is key. In the beer production process, there are inevitably some yeast cells, as well as suspended particles of proteins and hop resins. Their presence not only affects the appearance and turbidity of the product, but also affects the biological stability, non-biological stability, and colloidal stability of the finished beer. Therefore, they must be removed through the filtration process.
