Microbial contamination during production can reduce the quality of beer by producing cloudiness or changes in the pH or flavor. Using the foodproof® Beer Screening Kit, the 30 most important beer spoilage bacteria in the production process are quickly and easily detected and identified in a single reaction. Specifically, it detects the genera Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Megasphaera and Pectinatus. The most important representatives of these genera, such as Lactobacillus acetolerans, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus lindneri, Pediococcus damnosus or Megasphaera cerevisiae can also be identified by melting curve analysis in the same test.
