THE MOST CRITICAL INGREDIENT

Perfect the brewing profile of your beers.

Water makes up more than 95% of your beer. It drives yeast performance, hop extraction and the clarity of the finished product. Our custom water filtration and treatment solutions for microbreweries guarantee a consistent mineral profile, complete chlorine removal and absolute bacteriological purity. Protect your tanks, optimize your recipes and ensure perfect repeatability from batch to batch.

BREWING ENGINEERING

What we bring to the excellence of your brews.

For master brewers, every molecular detail matters. Our water engineering lets you calibrate minerals, eliminate chlorine and guarantee complete microbiological purity. Give your recipes the consistency and greatness they deserve.

Mineral profile adjustment

Precisely balance the sulphate/chloride ratio and hardness to sharpen the bitterness of your IPAs or the velvety roundness of your stouts. Full control over the pH of your mash water.

Complete dechlorination

Complete removal of chlorine and chloramines to banish phenols and medicinal or plastic off-flavours from your beers, revealing perfectly clean malt and hop aromas.

Microbiological sterility

Upstream UV-C protection and ultrafiltration to eliminate any risk of contamination by wild bacteria or unwanted yeast, keeping your products stable.

Equipment protection

Targeted softening and demineralization to prevent scale in your steam boilers, plate heat exchangers and fermenters, greatly reducing your CIP cycles.
