Measuring Ethanol in Kombucha

What’s in your fermented beverage?

It’s a critical question – one requiring rapid, accurate, and reliable measurements for the effective monitoring of ABV concentrations in commercial fermentation processes for kombucha, beer, wine, and spirits. Proper monitoring results in product consistency, process improvement and efficiency, and verification that the alcoholic content is consistent with regulations and labeling.

OptiEnz Sensors has developed a rapid, easy-to-use, and low-cost system for in-house monitoring of alcohol and glucose. The  analyzer sits on a bench-top and the probe is placed in the sample to make an accurate measurement in 2 minutes.
