Description
It is important to understand some fundamental principles regarding beer analysis. First, the method one uses needs to be a valid, approved method. Second, variabilities are inherent to any analytical measurement: how can they be recognized, and how should they be considered to set up appropriate and realistic specifications is discussed. Third, what are the critical parameters that should be monitored to achieve consistency?
Learning Objectives
- Explain the differences between accuracy and precision
- Provide a correct interpretation to measurement changes in the process and final product
- Name ways to adjust the process to deliver a more consistent final beer chemistry
