Achieve longer shelf-life and beer flavor stability: Maselli LP20 is the perfect tool for craft breweries

In a perfect world, beer would taste the same at package release as it does at the end of its shelf life. In reality, beer begins to undergo flavor modifications as soon as it leaves the brewery. Consequently, flavor instability is now one of the brewing industry's most critical quality problems.

With the introduction of the new LP Series, Maselli has developed LP20 – Portable and Laboratory CO2/O2 Analyzer – the perfect tool for craft breweries that need to perform accurate CO2 and O2 analysis both in the processing plant and in the QC Laboratory of their facility.

What do we mean by “Portable & Laboratory”?

- With its portability features and its own rechargeable batteries, the LP20 can be taken anywhere and used right from the tanks at your production line to monitor the beer in different steps of the brewing process.

- With its easy connection to the Maselli Automatic Sampler SL01, the LP20 can be used in the laboratory as well.?The sampler can handle any type of container, including cans, bottles, and PET.

How does that work?

The equipment works by combining the determination of the CO2 content based on Henry’s law with an optical O2 measurement to ensure fast and incredibly accurate analysis.

Alcohol determination is also an option if you need it.

Not only beer… the LP20 is suitable not only for the beer industry but also for measuring sparkling wine, seltzers, or any other carbonated beverage.?
