PROCESS CONTROL
BREWERY LAB FLAVOR TESTING
Distillation to ensure quality and consistency of a product
Application
Diacetyl is a chemical commonly used to give a buttery flavor to food products
including craft beers. Diacetyl is produced by the fermentation of yeast during
the brewing process and is the flavor commonly found in Dry Stouts, Scotch
Ales, certain types of Pilsners, and many other styles of beers. Brewery
laboratories such as Columbus Brewing Company in Columbus, OH require
a simple distillation set-up to test the level of Diacetyl in their special craft
beers to ensure the flavor is consistent from batch to batch. If they are not able
to test this, the result could be bad batches that result in negative customer
experiences and significant loss of revenue.
Solution
BriskHeat HM-HS Cloth Heating Mantles for round-bottom flasks are used
to fulfill this requirement. The beer is placed in a round-bottom flask and
set into the heating mantle. The temperature, controlled by a PID digital
temperature controller such as BriskHeat’s SDX controller, is set at a boiling
level to ultimately collect the distillate at the end of the process. At that
point it can be effectively tested. To prevent the overheating or scorching
at a specific point of the process, BriskHeat’s HL101 High-Limit Cut-Off
Controller is used. If a programmed set-point temperature is reached or
exceeded, the HL101 will audibly alarm and cut power to the application.
SDX
The
Temperature Control Module is a small Plug & Play alternative
for low wattage heating applications. With the footprint being a fraction of a
standard benchtop controller, it fits almost anywhere.

Additional Uses:
Heating mantles and high-limit controllers are commonly used in
laboratory and R&D facilities for applications such as:
HM Lower Hemispherical
Heating Mantle
HL101
Distillation – Separating a component or substance from a liquid mixture
by selective evaporation and condensation.
Chemical Reaction – A process during which one or more substances
(the reactants) are converted to one or more substances (the products).
Refluxing – Used to supply energy to heated reactions over long periods
of time, refluxing involves the condensation of vapors and the return of
this condensate back into the system where it originated.
