Beer filtration and stabilisation

The EBC Manuals of Good Practice have been targeted for a re-vamp! After consultations both within the EBC and the wider network of brewers, the decision was reached to start a process of reviewing the outdated Manuals. The Filtration & Stabilisation manual is now in print in its completely revised form, both in terms of content and in terms of look ‘n feel. Technically, there have been a lot of developments in beer filtration. With the arrival of affordable membrane technology the need for an assessment and inclusion into the manual became an important goal; together with a thorough overhaul of the existing chapters on depth filtration in its many forms ie. kieselguhr, perlite, cellulose and others. The newly revised EBC Manual of Good Practice Filtration and Stabilisation represents a most valuable addition to the current state of knowledge and practical application of filtration technologists, process engineers and brewers operating in the beer production environment.
