Filtration improvements far exceed enzyme cost
Case study: Learn how a brewery reduced filtration time by 30% and saved on filtration aids.
Faster filtration, cost-savings on aids
For years, this regional brewery had used a “traditional” beta-glucanase in its process. It was now looking for a better wort and beer filtration process.
Ultraflo® Max: Faster filtration, lower costs
Using Novonesis Ultraflo® Max in the mash filter at 200 ppm sped up the filtration process by about 30%. What’s more, the brewer reduced its annual use of filtration aids by 40%.
Although Ultraflo® Max cost more per kg than the brewer’s previous enzyme solution, the benefits far exceeded the expense.

Enzymes help overcome equipment limitation
Challenge: An international brewer wanted to implement a known recipe into another of its breweries. But the “new” brewery did not have a cereal cooker.
Existing setup yields more brewing capacity
Challenge: A regional brewer wanted to boost brewing capacity without investing in more fermenters. Could they reduce fermentation times, without compromising on beer quality?
Enzymes ensure predictable, stable filtration
Challenge: For years, this international brewer had used the same product for hemicellulose breakdown in its recipes, which go from 10-40% barley.
