• Consistent Fermentations • Increase Attenuation • Improve Filtration • Maintain Yeast Population Viability • Virtually No Dust, Easy-To-Use, Tablet Form
What is Gusmer MicroElements?A diverse blend of vitamins, minerals, polypeptides, and amino acids that have been identified as essential precursors required to build yeast biomass, with 100% organic nitrogen, all compressed into a convenient tablet form. Gusmer Enterprises has been formulating fermentation nutrients for many years and has developed MicroElements Brewing Nutrients based on the latest fermentation research and with the highest quality, bioavailable ingredients for maximum assimilation by the yeast.
A Unique & Notable Nutrient Unlike traditional yeast nutrient products, which contain a high percentage of inexpensive diammonium phosphate (DAP) and yeast hulls, MicroElements Brewing Nutrients do not contain DAP. Instead, our research team has found that our proprietary blend of pure vitamins, minerals, and yeast extract gives superior fermentation performance. Breweries enlisted in product testing noted better yeast flocculation, increased yeast viability, higher RDF’s, increased rates of fermentation, and positive sensory evaluation. In keeping with good sanitation practices, the easy-to-use tablet form allows for accurate dosing and virtually no dust, thus eliminating the risk for airborne contamination in the brewery. All ingredients in MicroElements Brewing Nutrient Tablets comply fully with the Adjunct Reference Manual published by the Beer Institute and adhere to the TTB standards. The product is non-GMO, non-BSE certified and formulated in the USA and under GMP conditions. ApplicationMicroElements Brewing Nutrient Tablets are designed for use at the kettle or fermentation vessel in all types of brewing, especially high gravity brewing, or in yeast propagation regimes. It is a complete fermentation nutrient supplement. Add tablet(s) during the last 10-15 minutes of boil to fully dissolve prior to knockout.
Gusmer Enterprises MicroElementsTM
Brewing Nutrient Tablets
Note: When used as recommended, MicroElements Brewing Nutrients will provide at least 30 pbb of zinc.
Pack Size: 1 kg (29 tabs), 5kg (147 tabs) Dose Rate: 1 tablet / 10 US bbls
“The utilization of MicroElements Brewing Nutrient Tablets represents a cost-effective and user friendly approach to supplementing existing nutrient levels in brewery fermentations. When added to our higher gravity experimental beers, we achieved faster attenuation rates, improved yeast viabilty and lower residual sugar levels than the corresponding controls. I’d have no hesitation recommending their use to brewers seeking optimized yeast performance and improved fermentation management.” — Damian McConn, Head Brewer Summit Brewing - St Paul, MN

Novozymes, the world’s largest manufacturer of food enzymes, developed the first commercial enzyme for beverage processing over 35 years ago. Together, Novozymes and Gusmer have dedicated years of research and application work to develop a full range of enzymes for brewing. Today, enzymes are used by brewers to increase process efficiency, extract and attenuation, control diacetyl, improve filtration and to create unique and alternative-style beers. They are fundamental tools for consistently producing high quality beer.
Traditional brewing is based on enzymes produced by malted grain. Critical enzymes developed during malting of brewer’s grains are amylases, proteases, lipases, and cellulases. These same enzyme activities are available in Novozymes brewing enzymes from Gusmer. Starch Conversion Starch conversion enzymes convert the starch in grist to flavor components and fermentable sugars. Starch is glucose molecules linked together in a linear polymer (amylose) or a branched polymer (amylopectin). Several key enzyme groups, primarily amylases, take part in the conversion of grain starches. Alpha-amylases rapidly but randomly break starch molecules to produce water-soluble fragments of starch called dextrins - unfermentable carbohydrates that contribute to beer flavor, body, and mouthfeel. Beta-amylases act only at the ends of starch molecules and fragments to produce maltose. Glucoamylases break off single molecules of glucose from starch molecules, dextrins and maltose.
The bonds that form branches in amylopectin polymer starch are resistant to the action of amylase enzymes. Pullulanase, a starch-debranching enzyme, can break these bonds and give amylase enzymes faster access to starch molecules. Cellulase and lipase break down cell walls and lipid inclusion complexes to release starch for conversion.
Using specific combinations or blends of all these enzyme types, a brewer can control starch conversion to increase extract and control attenuation, balance carbohydrate profile and assure consistency even with varying raw material.
Wort Separation & Beer Filtration Wort separation and beer filtration enzymes - xylanase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, lipase and arabinase - break down cell wall components that would interfere with wort separation, clog filters and bind up starch molecules. The composition and amount of cell wall material varies widely depending on degree of malt modification, the source of malt and the growing conditions from year to year. Fruited beers introduce pectin haze and filtration problems that can be prevented with pectinase enzymes.
Modification Modification of malt describes the breakdown of grain endosperm, a protein-starch matrix, into smaller proteins and amino acids and further release of starches. Protease and peptidase enzymes accomplish this and provide sufficient amino acid nutrients in the wort for yeast to thrive.
Diacetyl Control Diacetyl control usually requires a warm maturation or diacetyl rest lasting one or two days. Diacetyl prevention can be achieved without diacetyl rest by enzymatic degradation of alpha-acetolactate, the yeast byproduct that is the precursor of diacetyl.
Novozymes brewing enzymes from Gusmer supply these key enzyme activities and give you the tools to reduce cost, waste and energy consumption, accelerate production and achieve consistently high quality beer.
Novozymes brewing Enzymes
“We’ve been working with Gusmer on a few products over the last year and a half here at Lucid Brewing. We have been using Maturex enzyme and Ultraflo Max enzyme from Novozymes as well as Gusmer’s Cellu-Flo filter aid.
Adding Maturex allows us to eliminate the “Diacetyl Rest” in our beers as it works with the yeast to bypass that pathway. We are seeing faster output of our products, which in turn helps keep up with market demand.
We like to brew beers with wheat malt, rye malt, and flaked oats. Using the Ultraflo Max enzyme has helped us manage beta-glucans with better runoff results, and much better filtration results. “ — Andy Ruhland, Brewer/Cellarmaster Lucid Brewing LLC - Minnetonka, MN

Cask Ale Preparation
AB Vickers
Finings and AntifoamAB Vickers is the premier name in isinglass auxiliary finings. With roots in the United Kingdom, AB Vickers fully understands the tradition of isinglass finings for both brewhouse and cask conditioning applications. AB Vickers is also a major supplier of antifoam to the brewing industry. Gusmer Enterprises is proud to offer AB Vickers’ isinglass finings and antifoam in North America.
Cryofine (CRY 151) Cryofine is purified isinglass in a convenient powder form. It is added to beer at the end of fermentation to speed maturation, and improve filtration and clarity by fining out yeasts and protein particulate. For the purposes of rapid dissolution, enhanced performance, and long shelf life, the isinglass in Cryofine has been pre-hydrolyzed and freeze-dried. Cryofine also contributes to the actions of both silica gels and PVPP. Cryofine is regularly used in cask conditioned beers as auxiliary finings for solids settling and clarification.
Pack Size: 1 lb Dose Rate: 1 - 5 g/hl; 0.05 - 0.2 oz/10 US bbl
Foamsol S (FCS 130) Foamsol S silicone antifoam is an inert polymer which is highly effective in foam suppression in both the kettle and fermenter. Foamsol S preserves foam-positive proteins which contribute to the head retention quality of beer. One of the most important benefits of Foamsol S is increased iso-α-acid utilization from hops. Controlling foam in the fermenter will retain iso-α-acid and allow a reduction of up to 15% of the kettle hops. Other benefits include increased kettle and fermenter utilization, as well as eliminating the loss of product from foam during fermentation.
Pack Size: 25 kg Dose Rate: 1 - 8 ml/hl; 0.03 - 0.3 oz/10 US bbl
Cask ale is a traditional offering associated with beers brewed in the British Isles. Today’s brewers are producing cask ale in casks, which are kegs that can accept side bungs and a keystone tap at the end of the keg. Primary fermented beer, at a temperature of approximately 45oF and a yeast cell count of at least one million cells/ml, is transferred into the cask, along with auxiliary finings and a priming sugar. Auxiliary finings are silicates, alginates or isinglass added for thorough clarification and stabilization of the beer by agglomerating and settling yeast and other insoluble solids. The priming sugar, usually sucrose, is added to adjust the fermentable extract to the appropriate level. The beer is allowed to “condition” in the cask at the retail outlet. The finings settle out and the carbonation is controlled with the use of spiles (soft spiles allows the CO2 to escape, hard spiles plug the bung and allow the product to carbonate). The cask is then tapped through the keystone, which is positioned above the sediment, allowing clear conditioned beer/ale to be dispensed.

Beer StabilizationProtein & Polyphenol Control
PQ Corporation bRITESORb® D300 – (Silica Xerogel)Silica Xerogel is an amorphous, free flowing powder of approximately 5% moisture content. Pound for pound, it is a more effective stabilizer than Silica Hydrogel. BRITESORB D300 utilizes the same adsorption principals as A100, but in addition, BRITESORB D300 is activated by a patented process that increases its affinity for sensitive protein. This typically allows for short contact times and reduced dose rates. A good candidate to stabilize difficult brews, BRITESORB D300 has a good permeability factor and can be used in conjunction with PVPP.
Particle Size: ~ 12 umDose Rate: beer up to 70% malt 25-40 g/hL (~6-10 lb/100 US bbl)Dose Rate: beer more than 70% malt 40-60 g/hL (~10-15 lb/100 US bbl)Contact time: 5 minutesPermeability: 0.05 D’ArcySizes: 40 lb bags
Chill haze stabilization is an important consideration for beers that are distributed throughout a territory and require any degree of shelf stability. Most retailers and consumers expect clarity and no post-bottling sedimentation in beer on a consistent basis, and with today’s flavorful and wide varieties of beers, the potential for instability exists. Through the use of either silica-based stabilizing agents or PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) polymer-based stabilizing agents, chill haze stabilization can be achieved without affecting flavor, aroma, body or head retention. These stabilizing agents are widely used, economical and readily available through Gusmer Enterprises. Chill haze is caused by the natural reaction of “sensitive proteins” (proteins rich in proline) and polyphenols, both of which are inherently found in beer. These sensitive proteins and polyphenols agglomerate to form larger colloids which are insoluble at cold storage and serving temperatures. The instability results in a precipitation which creates cloudy beer or bottle sediment. Stability of the beer can be achieved by selectively removing either the sensitive proteins or the polyphenols, so that the two cannot so readily react with each other. Silica-based stabilizers, whether amorphous solids or colloidal liquids, used in the brewing process have a small particle size (8 nm to 16 microns) and are highly porous with typical surface areas from about 300 m2/g to more than 1,000 m2/g. These specially engineered silica particles are hydrophilic due to coverage of their surface by hydroxyl (silanol) groups. It is the interactions of proline with these silanol groups that enable the selective adsorption of sensitive proteins from beer. PVPP polymer-based stabilizers are approximately 50 microns in size and have a high affinity for flavonoid polyphenols via hydrogen and hydrophobic bonding. Both forms of stabilizing agents are ultimately removed from the beer through centrifugation or filtration. The choice to use either a silica-based stabilizer or a PVPP polymer-based stabilizer is up to the brewer, and for beers that are more difficult to stabilize, the use of both agents may synergistically result in stabilization.
PQ Corporation bRITESORb® A100 – (Silica Hydrogel)Silica Hydrogel is an amorphous silica powder, which is non-dusting and free flowing, and has a moisture content of approximately 65%. BRITESORB A100 works through size exclusion. The surface of BRITESORB A100 is engineered with a moderately sized porosity, which selectively allows for the internal adsorption of haze-forming proteins while retarding the entry of larger, foam-positive proteins. An excellent choice for chillproofing lighter style beers, BRITESORB A100 has a high permeability factor that allows for faster filtration rates and longer filter runs.

Beer Stabilization (continued)
NALCO Nalco 1072 – (Kieselsol or SilicaSol)Nalco 1072 kieselsol is a liquid colloidal suspension of silicon dioxide, which is extremely effective in chillproofing and has been used in production of “vegan-friendly” beers. The resulting silica/protein complexes form relatively compact sediment cakes (tank bottoms) that aid in separation from the stabilized beer. Nalco 1072 is a ready-to-use solution that offers convenience in use.

BASF Divergan® F and Divergan® RS PVPP (Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone)Gusmer is a major distributor of Divergan F to the beer industry. Manufactured by BASF, Divergan F is used throughout the world to chill haze stabilize beer. BASF’s unique polymerization process produces the purist polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, which selectively adsorbs the polyphenols that can cause instabilities. There is evidence that Divergan F also helps to stabilize flavor through the reduction of flavonoid polyphenols, which are particularly prone to polymerize into products of higher molecular weight and potential bitter flavor. Divergan F works quickly, and its short contact time means it can frequently be dosed inline, but it can also be dosed in a batch method.
Divergan RS is a regenerable PVPP, which works in the same manner, but offers some economies to larger facilities that are set up to regenerate it.
Particle Size: ~ 50 um Dose Rate: beer up to 65% malt Alone: 10-30 g/hL (~2.5-7.75 lb/100 US bbl) With Silica: 10-20 g/hL (~2.5-5.0 lb/100 US bbl)Dose Rate: beer more than 65% malt Alone: 25-40 g/hL (~5-10 lb/100 US bbl). With Silica: 10-30 g/hL (~2.5-7.75 lb/100 US bbl) Contact time: 5 minutes Polyphenol removal effectiveness: 55% of mass Divergan F Sizes: 1 kg, 5 kg and 20 kg drums Divergan RS Size: 20 kg drums
Preparation of Stabilizers Kieselsol: These solutions come ready-made and can be added as described in the dosing section below. Hydrogel/Xerogel/PVPP: The amorphous powder should be mixed with deoxygenated water at a 10% w/w ratio. (1 kg powder: 10 liters DAW or ~8 lb: 10 USG DAW). The use of a CO2 sparger in the slurry water will help to deoxygenate the water. Agitation: Hydrogel/Xerogel – Agitate slurry for at least 20 minutes prior to addition. PVPP - Agitate slurry for 1-2 hours prior to addition.
Dosing of StabilizersInline Method: The kieselsol, hydrogel/xerogel or PVPP slurries are dosed proportionally into the beer stream by means of a metering pump. The products are allowed react with the beer. Depending upon contact time required for each product a buffer tank may be utilized. Resultant sediments can be removed via centrifuge and/or filtration.
batch Method: Add the kieselsol or hydrogel/xerogel/ PVPP slurries into the product while filling the finishing tank. Add the stabilizing agent proportionally during the fill or as a single shot method through the spray ball arm. Once the stabilizing agent has reacted with the respective protein or tannin, it will settle to the bottom of the tank as sediment. Settling times vary due to tank geometry and stabilizer/protein/tannin complex size. The stabilized beer can be separated from the sediment prior to filtration and any leftover sediment is easily removed during CIP. Inadvertent over-dosing or contact time of several days causes no negative effects in the beer.

D.D. Williamson Caramel for brewing
Caramel in the Brewing Process A valuable brewing ingredient for more than a century, caramel contributes to the character of beer on every continent. Caramel provides color, flavor and consistency to beer. It also has applications in a variety of related products, including cider and non-alcoholic malted beverages.
What is Caramel? Caramel results from the controlled heat treatment of carbohydrates, typically glucose syrup. The glucose and food-grade catalysts are used to facilitate the browning process and provide stability. The finished beer caramel, a long polymer chain, is a positively-charged colloidal solution and thus stable in beer, which also has a net positive charge. Caramel is inert, physically stable when stored properly and has bacteriostatic properties.
Why Use Caramel?
Caramel is a great way to adjust beer color throughout any part of the brewing process. Caramel allows you to adjust color in the kettle, as late as final filtration or in the serving tank. With caramel you can darken your beer without adding the astringent flavors associated with dark malt.
Dosage
Dosage will vary by style. Traditional ales require 0.02% or more of caramel coloring to add color. Certain dark beers, including some stouts and bocks, might require a higher caramel dosage. Lagers require less caramel to obtain color consistency than other types of beers (typically 0.01%). Adjusting a lager type beer to a bock beer color would require an addition of 0.05-0.075%.
Color with confidence – every day more than 1.5 billion servings of food and beverages containing D.D. Williamson colorants are consumed around the globe. With seven caramel manufacturing sites on five continents, D.D. Williamson is the world leader in caramel color.

Gusmer’s oak adjuncts offer the ability to supplement oak character in beer without investing in and maintaining extensive wood cooperage cellars. Our American oak lends itself perfectly to barley wines, imperial stouts or an authentic IPA. Use our French oak to provide the oak character associated with lambics, while still keeping any wild yeast or bacteria safely enclosed in a stainless steel vessel.
As a producer of granular oak and oak chips for the beverage industries for over 30 years, our commitment to quality and consistency is uncompromising. Only the highest quality American and French oak from premium heartwood qualify for our oak program. Our proprietary toasting process brings out very distinct oak attributes such as vanilla, butterscotch, clove, smoke and others. These oak adjuncts are added directly to tanks or barrels for a brief extraction period. The full flavor and aroma is typically extracted from the oak in 3-5 days. The oak can be easily removed by decanting or filtering the beer after extraction. Gusmer also offers oak adjuncts in infusion bags for use in finishing or brite beer tanks. The infusion bags allow for full extraction of the oak, while keeping the oak fully contained for convenient removal.
Consistent and predictable results are the hallmark of Gusmer’s oak program. Our adjuncts allow brewers more options to compliment flavors and aromas, tactile characteristics and color stabilization.
Application and DosageFinishing: Add directly to the brite beer tank to compliment beer flavor and aroma during storage.
barrel Supplementation: Add directly to neutral barrels to renew oak flavors and aromas.
Dose Rate Range: 70-300 g/bbl (for oak flavors and aromas that range from subtle background notes to bold oak character as determined to be optimal for that particular beer)
blending beer: Dose the oak at a high rate directly into a smaller volume of beer to make a concentrated blending beer for precise blending back into larger finished brews at the brite beer tank or barrels.
Dose Rate Range: 2,500-5,000 g/bbl

On pressure leaf filters and candle filters, the basis for all good filter cakes is a sound precoat, and Gusmer has been manufacturing the filter precoat materials that are used in beer filtration for decades. Gusmer’s Cellu-Flo filter aids are widely used throughout the industry as a precoat, because of their ability to form a fibrous matrix on the filter screens that provides a proper site for filter cake formation. This fibrous matrix also serves to protect the filter screens, virtually eliminates bleed-through, adds cake stability and allows for a quick and clean cake release at the end of the filter cycle.
Cellu-Flo filter aids are available in many different fiber length distributions and formulations, including both cotton and wood pulp formulations, uncharged and charge modified formulations and fiber blended products.
Recently introduced is the Cellu-Flo FB series, which is a fiber/perlite blended precoat and bodyfeed material especially designed for quick precoat cycles on rotary vacuum filters, plate filters, pressure leaf filters and candle filters. Cellu-Flo FB is available in three different formulations for coarse and polish filtrations.

Troubleshooting Similar to other separation and filtration equipment, regular cleaning, maintenance, and inspections should be conducted on filter presses. There are a number of common problems that can be resolved with regular inspection, maintenance and training.
Application Notes forSheet Filter Presses
Potential Issue Result Resolution or Concern Worn gaskets at Product loss Replace gaskets. Use inlet or outlet plates supplier information for proper thickness.
Insufficient press Product loss Properly tighten press with clamping manual or hydraulic closure. Use of leverage bar may be needed.
Missing guide rods Product loss Manually align sheets. Purchase replacement guide rods.
Misaligned filter Lower throughput, Depth filter sheets may be sheets product loss placed in wrong direction. Place cockled or rough side of filter towards the inlet plate. Align sheet parallel with plate.
High pressure/ Less efficient filtration Ensure consistent product excessive flow rates (premature blinding, flow at recommended less retention, contaminant flow rate and differential break-through, product loss) pressure for filter grade.
Operation
Typically, a filter press consists of a series of plates equipped with inlet and outlet ports. Depending on the type of press, the ports may be internally or externally ported. When the press is closed and tightened through manual or hydraulic means, the plates, gasketed ports, and sheets are closed to form a tight seal for feed and filtrate passage. The unfiltered product passes through the inlet ports of the plate to the depth filter sheet. The depth filter sheet separates the undesired contaminant and allows the cleaned product to flow to the outlet plate. The outlet plate distributes the cleaned product to the discharge or outlet port.
Advantages of Filter Presses
• Very versatile -- full range of filtration applications
• Large filter area and able to increase additional surface area with more plates
• Flexible, modular design with ability to conduct two stage filtrations
• Good process scalability from bench to production scale
• Consistent and reliable filtration results
• Low maintenance costs

Gusmer Enterprises Cellu-Stack® Filters
Gusmer EnterprisesCellu-Stack® Housings Gusmer Enterprises also offers a complete line of Cellu-Stack filter housings designed as a cost-effective system for high capacity liquid filtration applications. The versatile sanitary housing line accommodates either 12” or 16” diameter Cellu-Stack filter modules with the effective filtration surface area ranging from 17.7 ft2 - 160.0 ft2. All housings are available in 1, 2, 3, or 4-cartridge versions, which can be modified with the use of Cellu-Stack adapters to accept fewer cartridges for partial batch runs or other applications requiring fewer cartridges. ASME code housings are also available if required.
Cellu-Stack Application Notes: • Place a quick acting check valve at the housing outlet to avoid integrity
breaches that can be caused by backpressure
• Double check that all cartridge gaskets are in place and in good condition to ensure optimal sealing
• If filter life is not fully exhausted by a single filtration, DO NOT remove used filters from the housing for storage between uses. Instead, used filters can be stored IN the housing by following these steps:
- Shut Down: After completion of the filtration cycle, sanitize the filters with the same method used to prepare the filters (i.e. steam or hot water flush)
- Storage: Drain the housing, apply 2 psi gas pressure (i.e. CO2, nitrogen) while the housing is still warm (to avoid a vacuum upon cooling) and close all ports
- Restart: When restarting for another filtration cycle, repeat the sanitization procedure just as you would for normal filter preparation

EMD Millpore Filters for Microbial Management
For over 50 years, Millipore has supplied breweries around the world with microbial management solutions to monitor and remove microorganisms and other contaminants from beer. Trusted as the “gold standard” by generations of brewers, Millipore products for clarification, pre-sterile, and sterile filtration will ensure microbial stability while maintaining quality, clarity, flavor and aroma. Gusmer is proud to offer a full range of Millipore products, including those for filtration and microbial monitoring at bottling and throughout the brewery.
Total Cost of Filtration
An efficient facility must operate on a Total Cost of Filtration basis. This method of operating recognizes that superior filter performance will yield better process economics over time.
A Total Cost of Filtration approach also recognizes that factors influenced by filter performance are often more costly than the filters themselves. These factors include: • Filter cartridge cost • Beer lost or damaged • Bottling line downtime and labor • Cleaning and sterilization water and chemicals • Quality assurance personnel and materials • Product holds • Product spoilage and recalls
A high quality filter cartridge is key to maximizing total throughput and reducing the total cost of filtration.
What sterile membrane is best for your process? PVDF cartridges provide many critical advantages over PES cartridge filters.
The Vitipore II PVDF final membrane offers: • Lowest protein and color binding • Highest membrane area and number of pleats per device • Most throughput • Only major symmetric beverage membrane • Higher membrane robustness and stress tolerance • Most reliable integrity testing

Sterile Filtration Applications - Vitipore® II & Vitipore® II Plus Constructed with Durapore® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, the Vitipore II and Vitipore II Plus cartridges have been engineered to meet the rigorous and varied conditions of beverage filtration, sterilization and cleaning regimens. Millipore’s sterile membrane filters have a solid reputation for high flow rates and long service life, with a very low affinity for protein and pigment binding. No other cartridge gives as much throughput as the Vitipore II Plus. Available in 0.22 µm, 0.45 µm, 0.65 µm and 1.0 µm (absolute) pore size.
Prefiltration and Clarification Applications – Bevigard™ M, Polygard® CR & Clarigard Millipore’s dual-layer 1.2 µm over 0.5 µm Bevigard M prefilter offers the tightest protection of sterile membrane filters.
The Clarigard is a wrapped prefiltration cartridge that offers an efficient combination of high dirt holding capacity and high retention to protect final filters in streams that may have a large concentration of small particles.
Polygard CR clarification filters are an ideal bottling filter when sterile filtration is not required. The high dirt loading capacity of the Polygard CR makes it a reliable trap filter. The Polygard CR is available in pore size ratings up to 100 µm. Millipore has dozens of other prefiltration and clarification cartridges that can be matched to specific applications.
Gas Filtration Applications - Aervent® Sterile filtration of gases can be crucial to maintaining microbial stability on a bottling line. The Aervent features a highly hydrophobic (water repelling) PTFE 0.2 µm membrane that allows for high gas flow rates, prevents wetting, and maintains a sterile barrier.
Millipore filter cartridges are available in 10, 20, 30 and 40-inch lengths and Code 7, Code F, Code 5 and Code 0 configurations. For specific recommendations or information, please contact your Gusmer representative.

Application Notes ForMillipore Filters
Installation
• Assure that the housing, pressure gauges, valves, gaskets, and o-rings are in good working order (housing o-rings should be replaced on a regular basis).
• Carefully remove the cartridge from the packaging material and inspect. Use caution when opening the filter bag – scissors are recommended. Each filter cartridge is stamped with the grade and comes with a quality certificate in the box. Verify that the correct filter is being installed for the intended application.
• Wet the o-rings with water and install into the housing, being careful not to roll the o-rings upon installation.
• Run ambient temperature water* through cartridges under a little back pressure to fully wet out the filter media.
Sterilization & Cleaning
• Millipore recommends the use of hot water* (180°F for 30 minutes) for sterilization of filters and filter housings (time period starts when the housing outlet comes to temperature). Once the
proper temperature is reached, take care to use only a low hot water flow and low differential pressure.
• Each hot water cycle should always be preceded and followed by an ambient water* rinse cycle.
• If hot water is not available, the filters are compatible with a wide range of sanitation chemicals. Please consult your Gusmer representative for specific information.
• Ensure that filter housings remain vented during cleaning and sterilization.
• It is recommended to start each cleaning cycle with at least 5 minutes of cold water flow. Temperature should then be gradually increased to its final cleaning temperature (typically 180°F). A longer warm water rinse is beneficial to cleaning. Filters should never be contacted with a temperature above 135°F without first rinsing with cold/warm water* to acheive maximum throughput.
• Some filters can be backflushed. Please consult your Gusmer representative for specific information.
• Avoid pressure shocks and water hammer especially during cleaning/sanitation with hot fluids.

Cartridge Storage • Intermediate storage (overnight or over a weekend) can be done in the filter housing. Flush the filters with warm water, sterilize the housing, and pressurize with 5 psi of nitrogen. The nitrogen keeps the housing under a positive pressure. • Long-term storage is best done outside of the filter housings. Four inch PVC piping capped at both ends is frequently used to store the individual cartridges in a solution of 350 ppm sulfur dioxide that has been adjusted to a pH of 3.5 with citric acid. This solution should be tested every month and replaced as necessary. Ethanol at approximately 40% may also be used for long term storage. Remove o-rings from the cartridges prior to storage and store the o-rings in a clean and dry place. • Reinstall the o-rings, rinse, sterilize, and integrity test stored cartridges prior to resuming bottling filtration.
Operation• Differential pressure (inlet minus outlet pressure) should be monitored regularly. Differential pressure increases as the filters plug, eventually leading to a loss of flow through the filter. Differential pressure increases exponentially. It may take many weeks to reach 80% plugged, but only a few hours for the final plugging to occur. • A common practice at breweries is to terminate the filtration and clean or change the cartridge(s) when the differential pressure reaches 30 psi. • Operate the process at the lowest, consistent flow rate to have a positive effect on filter performance. A higher face velocity leads to faster plugging. • Avoid pressure shocks and water hammer on the line. • Ensure that the top of the housing dome is periodically vented during production to remove any gas buildup that may overlap the filters.
Integrity Testing • Integrity testing is only conducted on final membrane cartridges and is conducted per the recommended specifications of the manufacturer for the specific membrane used. Integrity testing is conducted after the sanitation cycle, both prior to and after the bottling run. There are a few different methods for integrity testing, of which the bubble point and pressure hold methods are the most common. The bubble point method is recommended for housings with three or less cartridges and the pressure hold method is recommended for housings with greater than three cartridges. Please consult your Gusmer representative for detailed information on integrity testing methods and specifications. • Every Millipore sterile membrane filter cartridge is integrity tested by Millipore twice prior to packaging. Damage caused to cartridges by shipping, installation or process improprieties, or housing and valve issues are usually manifested as gross integrity test failure.

EMD MilliporeMicrobial Monitoring Tools
Membranes for Microbial Plating The EZ-Pak® system is the perfect solution for upscale, fast-paced processing. This cost-effective system uses presterilized, ready-to-use EZ-Pak membranes on a
patented support system. Simply press the dispenser’s lever to unpack and dispense one sterile membrane. The dispenser uncovers and maintains the membrane in the horizontal position until the operator retrieves it with forceps for loading onto the manifold. Cover with a disposable Microfil funnel, pour the sample, and begin the filtration. EZ-Pak membranes are available in various pore sizes and colors, so there is an EZ-Pak membrane for every application. Using this system will ultimately result in higher productivity, higher throughput and reduced risk of accidental contamination.
Smaller volume labs may prefer the S-Pak®, individually wrapped and pre-sterilized membrane filter disks. Microfil® funnels can be purchased bundled with both EZ-Pak and S-Pak filters for easy ordering. Millipore’s Microfil manifold is specifically designed for ease of use with funnels.

Illustrated Guide to Microbes and Sediments in Wine, Beer and Juice by Dr. Charles G. Edwards
One of the most useful books for beverage microbiology. A “must-have” for microscopic examination and visual identification of microorganisms and sediments in wines, beers and juices!
Illustrated Guide to Microbes and Sediments in Wine, Beer and Juice is a microscope companion book that includes over 30 different species of yeast, bacteria, and mold commonly associated with beverages, as well as frequently encountered sediments. This book is an extensive compilation of photographs and reference information printed on durable, spill-resistant paper and spiral bound so the pictures lie flat when in use with a microscope.
The microorganisms were obtained from culture collections located around the world. Each organism is featured in three photographs: (1) a typical colony grown on commercially available culture media, (2) a color stain, and (3) a phase contrast view of the microorganisms grown in wine, beer or juice.
This volume includes translations of the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. Therefore, it is an essential resource for brewers worldwide. It’s a comprehensive reference book that will quickly become a standard for any technical brewing library.

• Easy 5-key operation • Automatic calibration • 1 minute measuring time
Measurement principle The beer sample (10 ml) is brought into the measuring cells by means of an integral pump. Alcohol content, extract and density are measured by using thermal measuring effects. Derived constituents such as wort original gravity (Plato), apparent extract, real extract, alcohol (abv & abw), specific gravity and osmotic pressure also will be determined.
Calibration The device may be calibrated by using a corresponding reference beer. You can store 18 different sets of calibration data (for example pilsner, strong beer, non-alcoholic beer). You can also change from one product to another without having to undertake a new calibration.
Interfaces Parallel interface / recording printer: The device has a parallel interface for connecting to a normal commercial printer. A recording printer is also included.
Serial interface A PC can be connected to the serial interface (software included).

View a demo video of the ACM LAB.CO
LAB.CO ACM has introduced the first nondestructive CO2 test for bottled beverages. The LAB.CO uses a proprietary laser technology for the most accurate dissolved CO2 test available in a compact platform. The test is not affected by glass, test material or other dissolved materials. The single button test displays the result in less than one minute. The LAB.CO is perfect for QA testing. Closure and long-term shelf life studies can be performed on the same bottle over time, since the bottle remains sealed. Unlike most benchtop CO2 testers, opening or piercing of the bottle is not required.
ACMAnalytical Instrumentation
NondestructiveCO2 testing!Process Sensors and Displays ACM’s line of process sensors and equipment also includes process CO2 sensors, refractometers, densitometers, large LED displays, operator terminals and controllers. Components are fully compatible with most current installations, or can be included in new automation processes.
CO.20 The CO.20 from ACM offers a standalone sensor unit for inline monitoring of CO2. It uses a unique CO2 permeable membrane to measure CO2 in-process and features a high accuracy and a digital readout for rapid visibility of CO2 levels.
• Pair the CO.20 with your existing manual carbonator to view the impact of adjustments. • The CO.20 is also fully compatible with all common device communication methods and can be integrated with automatic carbonators or PLCs. • Locating the CO.20 on packaging lines gives a final quality check for CO2.
Laser Refractometer ACM’s line of process laser refractometers allows the fastest and most accurate Brix measurement in industry. The laser refractometer directly measures the Brix of a liquid. Unlike traditional process sensors that measure density and extrapolate Brix, the laser refractometer only measures the Brix and is not affected by dissolved CO2, solids or other components of the test stream. With an accuracy as high as 0.0025 Brix and a one second read time, the laser refractometer is orders of magnitude superior to other process sensors.

ContinentalHigh Quality brewing Hose
The importance of quality brewery hose is often underestimated. The key considerations when buying brewery hose and fittings are hygiene and long service life. Saving money with cheap hose can be expensive in the long run when the prospective costs of early replacement, product spoilage, production losses or personnel injuries are considered. Brewery hose works under tough conditions: pressure changes, hot water, steam, chemical cleaners, being dragged around and weathering. Precisely extruded linings, product-specific braiding technology, rubber vulcanization process, and resistant materials used in CONTITECH Purple Snake and Blaudieck brewing hose pay off with a long, safe and reliable service life.
Hose Function Working Pressure Available Sizes
Purple Snake Hose Suction & Discharge 16 bar / 235 psi ID: 1/2 in - 4 in THE #1 hose for the brewing Industry (Suction only for certain diameters)
Blaudieck LGD Hose Discharge Only 10 bar / 147 psi ID: 1/2 in - 4 inhigh quality brewing hose Blaudieck LGDS Hose Suction & Discharge 10 bar / 147 psi ID: 3/4 in - 4 in high quality brewing hose, vacuum resistant

Extruded Inner LiningPurple Snake and Blaudieck extruded linings are smooth, homogeneous and non-porous. They are made of materials resistant to cleaning and sanitizing chemicals, alcohol, hot water and steam - yet they have no effect on the taste, safety or aroma of beverages. Beverage hose linings MUST be extruded, not wrapped or calendared. Wrapped linings may separate along their seams due to handling or high temperatures, leading to areas of trapped debris, supporting microorganism growth hidden from visual inspection and resistant to CIP procedures.
Reinforcing Fiber Cord LayersStrong, flexible, synthetic fibers ensure safety at high operating pressure and prevent stretching or fatigue. Selected fiber materials resist chemical reactions and decomposition and can withstand process and cleaning temperatures without relaxing. Wire coil options are available for high vacuum suction applications.
Resistant Cover Rubber and polymer compounds are specially developed to resist abrasion, UV light, oil, caustics, cleaning solutions and ozone.
Purple Snake CONTITECH Purple Snake, with its distinctive red and blue cover and top quality construction is considered the “Gold Standard” in European breweries. Purple Snake is a brewery investment that will offer excellent returns for years.

From 40-meter coils of bulk hose to ready-to-use hose assemblies, Gusmer takes care of your brewery hose needs from start to finish. All CONTITECH Purple Snake and Blaudieck hoses can be cut to your specified length with installation of fittings and couplings by a certified fabricator. The chart below highlights some of the coupling options available for your brewery hose. Please contact your Gusmer representative to determine which configuration will be best for your brewery.
brewing Hose Assemblies
equi
pmen
t
Hose Assembly Fittings Installed with no damage or distortion to hose or lining by precision swaging or internal expansion process. The result is an ultra-hygienic hose line which enables smooth liquid flow in the coupling area - without any dead space that might otherwise collect debris, promote microorganism growth and enable the formation of resistant biofilm. CONTITECH hose assembly fittings are installed and tested to assure a high working pressure and resistance to fitting pull-off forces that may occur above working pressure. A fitting held in by stainless steel straps, clamps or an unevenly swaged ferrule is a hand injury safety hazard and can also be a hygiene risk. The fitting shank or hose barb can part from the inside hose wall, forming a dead space where dirt and bacteria collect, out of the reach of cleaners and disinfectants. On the other hand, internal expansion or precision swaged stainless steel ferrules seal the fitting shank to the inside hose wall providing a high level of hose hygiene. A properly installed hose fitting connection is stronger than the bursting pressure of the hose so there is less risk of a fitting failure. Proper fittings represent an investment that should be supported by the best brewery hose available.
Cutaway cross-section view of installed fitting showing smooth and hygienically clean connection, without any transition between lining and fitting.

Esau & Hueber Yeast Propagation SystemsEsau & Hueber is the global leader in the design of brewery yeast propagation systems. These systems are employed by many of the world’s major brewing companies and craft brewers. From simple Carlsberg Flasks and the MICRO PROP system to sophisticated CONTI PROP and FLEXI PROP systems, Esau & Hueber has a propagator that will suit your needs.
Features • True sanitary propagation tank design with no internal protrusions • Yeast is kept in a homogeneous suspension independent of internal gas sparging or mechanical mixers • Low foam generation within the propagator due to the most efficient air/oxygen solubilization utilizing TURBO AIR technology • In the CONTI PROP and FLEXI PROP systems, the yeast can be rejuvenated prior to pitching with the Esau & Hueber FERMEX system • In the case of totally automated multi-vessel systems, the proprietary YEAST PROPAGATION MANAGER (YPM) process control system can be used
Benefits • Maximum biological safety with hygienically designed closed systems • Maximum oxygen uptake and optimal yeast growth due to TURBO AIR aeration • Fast and consistent primary fermentations after pitching • Rapid degradation of diacetyl • Active fermentation rate, enhanced beer quality, good foam stability and efficient filtration runs due to excellent yeast health and quality
ProductsCarlsberg Flasks • Cost-efficient system for yeast management on a laboratory scale • True hygenic design with integral cooling jacket • Sizes: 5-100 liter working volumes
CONTI PROP • Single tank propagator systems for large breweries • PLC controlled in manual or valve block executions • Sizes: Custom designed for your requirements
MICRO PROP • Hygienically designed mobile system with manual programmable aeration and temperature control • Perfect for craft breweries desiring to control their own propagation of numerous cultures instead of purchasing liquid cultures • Sizes: Single 100 liter and Tandem 200 liter working volumes
FLEXI PROP • Multiple tank propagation systems for large breweries • PLC controlled in manual or valve block executions • Sizes: Custom designed for your requirements
Options for CONTI PROP & FLEXI PROP SystemsFERMEXFERMEX is a storage and crop yeast revitalization process. The storage yeast is gently degassed eliminating CO2 and the slurry is revitalized prior to pitching via programmed addition of fresh wort and oxygen.
YEAST PROPAGATION MANAGERThe YEAST PROPAGATION MANAGER (YPM) is a fuzzy logic program and is your “virtual propagation technician”.

Esau & HueberGas Injection Systems
Esau & Hueber developed the global standard for hygienically designed two-component jet nozzle injection systems. The construction complies with all aspects of hygienic design and therefore offers increased safety for this sensitive area of beer production. The effect of the nozzle - acceleration of the product flow with subsequent, sudden relaxation - results in the formation of ultrafine gas bubbles immediately after the nozzle. A dissolving section after the gas injection unit is not required, due to the formation of very small bubbles and almost instantaneous absorption into the liquid phase. Due to the absence of a sintered stone for gas bubble creation, these units are truly CIP-able and no disassembly is required to clean the gas addition area. The nominal widths available range from DN 40 to 200 and cover flow capacities from 25 to 2000 hl/h.
TURBO AIR • Best possible aeration effect by forming the very finest bubbles of any design • Significantly lower air consumption than other systems • Protection of antioxidants • Complete saturation right after the nozzle, therefore no adsorption section required • Minimal foam formation in the tank • Hygienic implementation due to sanitary flanges and CIP bypass for inline cleaning • Monitoring of the sterile air quantity by measuring pressure and flow speed • Suitable for manual and automated operation • Optimal cool sludge separation due to compact foam layer
TURBO CARBO • Dosage of CO2 with TURBO AIR two component nozzle: ensures extremely fine distribution and complete dissolution in the product • Manual and fully automated systems available • Automated operation of the system; alarms are indicated by visual signals and sound • Simple and comprehensive operation directly at the touch panel • Fine adjustment of the system according to the CO2 content actually measured in the product • Microbiological safety of the product due to construction according to the specifications of hygienic design
NITRO JET • System suitable for dosing nitrogen built to the same specifications as the TURBO CARBO • Ratio controlled or manual dosing of nitrogen into your product lines • Usually incorporated into a TURBO CARBO system (TURBO CARBO NITRO)

The Pacific Ozone PC16 and PC25 portable ozone generators are complete integrated ozone solution generation systems built to withstand the rigors of sanitation at commercial food and beverage processing facilities. Ozonated water generated on site, as required, eliminates the need to store, handle and dispose of harsh sanitizing chemicals.
Ozone (O3) is a naturally occurring, broad spectrum oxidizing agent that readily disintegrates organic material. When dissolved in water, it is an ideal sanitizing agent for food and beverage applications since it has the ability to disrupt cell wall membranes in microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, spores, viruses and biofilms faster than hot water, steam or chlorine. Produced when three oxygen atoms form a short-lived and unstable molecule (O3), ozone will naturally revert back to atmospheric oxygen (O2) after a brief period of time. Apply ozone enriched water (1- 3 ppm ozone dissolved in ambient temperature water) as a sanitizer to the inside and outside surfaces of tanks, kettles, barrels and kegs, or on tools, conveyors, walls, floors and drains. Wet equipment surfaces with a low pressure spray of ozonated water and allow the surface to remain wet for a few minutes or more. Ozonated water leaves no harmful residue on contact surfaces, and requires no rinsing – thus reduces water use.
The PC series of ozone generators deliver a reliable and consistent supply of ozonated water at the workable flow rate range required to support good sanitation practices. An output of 1-3 ppm ozonated water, at a flow rate of 10–30 gpm*, gives the concentration/time (CT value) required for good log reduction of cells in mixed microbial populations.
Comprised of four key components, the PC series generators include feed gas preparation, ozone generation, mass transfer and control/monitoring, all in one integrated system.
• Feed Gas Preparation – concentrates atmospheric oxygen for efficient conversion to ozone • Ozone Generation – high energy fields in patented Floating Plate TechnologyTM reactor cells convert oxygen to ozone gas • Mass Transfer – ozone gas is dissolved into a stream of water; excess ozone gas is destructed • Control/Monitoring – maintains correct ozone concentration for application
The standard PC16 and PC25 deliver a stable output of ozonated water that is easily controlled by the operator. With the available proportional control option, the PC16 and PC25 have the ability to adjust the output of ozonated water, while proportionately maintaining the desired concentration of ozone.

Yeast Strains
Chr. HansenChr. Hansen has developed a yeast program founded both on standard Saccharomyces yeast and non-Saccharomyces yeast. The use of Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeast, either in a sequential or simultaneous inoculation program, is a proven practice that gives cider producers a wide array of options to accentuate flavor, aroma and mouthfeel in the production of distinct and high quality ciders.
Gusmer is pleased to bring the cider industry interesting and unique strains of yeast that have proven to be strong tools in the production of premium beverages. Strains that are beyond the ordinary, Chr. Hansen and Renaissance Yeast were selected to highlight specific traits and attributes of the fruit, or to offer a key advantage, such as the elimination of off aromas. Dependable fermenters that create bold and interesting ciders, these are true yeast strains with a purpose!
Renaissance YeastRenaissance Yeast is a leader in the development of classical crossbred (non-GMO) H2S-preventing Saccharomyces yeast. Based on a unique strain of yeast that was recently isolated by the University of California, Davis that is naturally incapable of producing hydrogen sulfide, called UCD932, Renaissance has developed a full range of yeast bred specifically for their favorable fermentation attributes in cider. Each strain has a proven lineage, and is metabolically incapable of producing hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide, even at levels below threshold, binds delicate aromas. Ciders produced with Renaissance Saccharomyces strains, that contain no hydrogen sulfide, are bright, clean and have outstanding aromas.

Malolactic bacteria Strains
Fermentation Nutrients
Nutrients for Malolactic bacteria
A secondary malolactic fermentation, in which malic acid is converted to lactic acid, can offer further complexity and stability to cider and perry. Whether a traditional, light-bodied or fruit-driven brew, malolactic bacteria can be used to further enhance flavors and aromas, such as fruit or diacetyl, and can soften the perception of acid. Chr. Hansen’s Viniflora® bacteria is pure Oenococcus oeni and is available in a direct inoculation format. Gusmer offers the full line of Chr. Hansen malolactic bacteria of which Viniflora CiNeTM and Viniflora Oenos are well suited for cider and perry.
Gusmer’s MicroEssentialsTM fermentation nutrients are quickly becoming a standard in fermentation protocols. Known by cider makers as a reliable tool for strong, healthy and clean fermentations, MicroEssentials nutrients have shown to improve fermentation kinetics, reduce H2S production and assure complete fermentations. Our nutrients contain all the essential organic and inorganic nitrogen compounds, vitamins, minerals and yeast survival factors in a highly soluble and bioavailable form that yeast require for biomass and cell maintenance. Available in a powder or a time-release tablet.
MicroEssentialsTM Oenos was developed specifically for malolactic bacteria. It contains a diverse blend of organic protein sources and yeast derived vitamins and minerals. It is strongly recommended for most ciders that have been historically difficult to put through malolactic fermentation, or that present challenging conditions (i.e. high SO2, high alcohol and low pH).

Oak Products
Fining Agents and Cellar Chemicals
Enzymes are widely used in apple and pear juice processing and cider production to improve product quality, yield and to expedite processing. Macerating enzymes are applied to fruit for improved juice extraction and press efficiencies. Pectinases are used in juice and cider to increase settling and improve filtration and clarification. Novozymes, the world’s largest manufacturer of enzymes to the food industries, and Gusmer have supplied enzymes to the beverage markets for over 35 years. Gusmer stocks a full inventory of granular and liquid enzymes for juice and cider processing.
Lysozyme is a food grade enzyme used in alcoholic fermentations to control the growth of gram positive spoilage bacteria, such as Pediococcus and Lactobacilli. It can be a useful tool in the stabilization and prevention of unwelcomed organisms, without the reliance on higher levels of sulfur dioxide. Lysozyme does not inhibit yeast growth, therefore it can be used before or during alcoholic fermentation. Bioseutica lysozyme is available in a 100 g, 500 g and 5 kg package. Contact Gusmer for dose rates.
For more information on Gusmer oak products please see pages 12-13.
Gusmer carries the full range of fining agents and cellar chemicals for beverage processing: fining agents for the modification or reduction of specific flavor or aroma compounds, clarification, or stabilization of proteins, phenolics and/or color compounds, and cellar chemicals for acid additions and microbial stabilization.

Filter Media, Housings & Equipment
High Quality Hose and Water Nozzles
Portable Ozone Systems
Cross Flow Filters
Cidery hoses work under tough conditions: pressure changes, hot water, steam, chemical cleaners, being dragged around, weathering - it’s a hard life. Hose material, fittings and water nozzles should be chosen to ensure a high level of hygiene, long service and minimum need for repairs. High quality linings and pressure resistant materials used in Purple Snake and Blaudieck hose pay off with a long, reliable service life. Please see pages 34-36.
Pacific Ozone portable ozone generators are complete integrated ozone solution generation and delivery systems built to withstand the rigors of sanitation at commercial food and beverage processing facilities. Ozonated water generated on site eliminates the need to store, handle and dispose of harsh sanitizing chemicals and saves water by eliminating fresh water rinses. Please see page 43.
Cellupore CSF Filter SheetsPlease see page 15.
Cross flow filtration is another viable option used in wine and cider production. Gusmer offers the Bucher Vaslin cross flow filter in numerous sizes, ranging from 200 gph to 9,000 gph. These filters operate at low pressure (maximum 1.2 bar), low temperature and low oxygen pick up to fully preserve flavors and aromas. All Bucher Vaslin cross flow filters are fully automated, making the operation simple and user friendly.

Example: If 85 bbls of water at 120° F are mixed with 55 bbls at 212º F, what is the temperature of the mix?
Let X = ºF of the mix; then
85 x 120 + 55 x 212 = 140 X, and
X =
Example: How many bbls of beer of 3.8% and 3.2% by weight of alcohol, respectively, must be blended in order to obtain 650 bbls of beer of 3.6% alcohol?
Let X = number of bbls of 3.8% beer. Then (650 – X) = number of bbls of 3.2% beer. Substituting in formula:
X x 3.8 + (650 - X) x 3.2 = 650 x 3.6
0.6X = 260
X = 433
Answer: Mix 433 bbls of 3.8% beer with 217 bbls of 3.2% beer.
