505: Spoiler Alert—Preventing Microbial Activity in Low- and No-Alcohol Beer, in Partnership with Scott Labs

In this special episode produced in partnership with Scott Labs, we focus on beer spoilers and how to protect your beer from them. Today’s rapid growth in low- and no-alcohol craft beer and beverages presents quite a challenge for brewers because alcohol itself is one of the best ways to prevent microorganisms from turning the beautiful beverage you crafted into something less delicious or less healthy.

Through the course of this conversation, we talk about what some of those common spoilers are, how they function, and what you can do as a brewer and beverage maker to minimize their impact in the brewing and blending process through to packaged product. And we discuss how Nagardo, available from Scott Labs, can fit into a robust and multifaceted program to provide persistent protection from microbes that might spoil your beer.

Joining in the conversation are:

Jessica Just, director of industry services, Oregon State University Department of Food Science & Technology
Glenn Allen, head brewer and chief product officer, Pilot Project Brewing (Milwaukee and Chicago)
Nate Armbrust, technical sales, Scott Labs

Scott Laboratories is a leader in the North American wine and specialty-beverage industry, with a wide range of solutions that span fermentation, barrel-alternatives, filtration, specialized equipment, corks and closures, microbial control, and more. They offer a wide range of solutions for modern beverage makers at scottlab.com.
