Significance of Use
Beer clarity is a critical quality indicator that depends on the presence of suspended particles forming colloidal haze. The HI847492 provides brewers with a precise, non-visual method of detecting and quantifying haze, ensuring the final product maintains brilliance and consistency.
Haze is often caused by protein and polyphenol cross-linking, forming insoluble colloids that scatter light. Regular monitoring helps brewers implement appropriate stabilization steps during production, particularly post-filtration and prior to final packaging.
Readings are displayed in FTU, equivalent to NTU, and the meter utilizes LED-based nephelometry for highly accurate and repeatable readings. See conversion and haze classification tables below.
