A Fresh View on Microbial Stabilisation

摘要

Cold stabilisation of beer, also referred to as sterile filtration, can return significant cost savings over pasteurisation. In addition to providing an increased level of microbial security and better protection of beer quality, it is by far the most efficient process to operate in comparison to pasteurisation from a cost perspective. These cost savings, whilst significant, may not be widely understood or appreciated in what has traditionally been a conservative industry. Given the challenges facing brewers today, this article will share insights into the four main areas where cold stabilisation returns significant cost savings over flash pasteurisation.
