A free beer analysis (ABV, gravity, calories and IBU)

[Thewicklowhopscompany]

Hi there,
Philip here, from The Wicklow Hop's Company.

I posted to the introductions section a couple of weeks ago, stating that I was setting up a lab and a hop farm for the commercial craft beer industry. I would like to get to know the homebrewers network, so I am offering 1 free basic beer analysis to everyone on the forum. If you each want to send me one beer I can analyse the exact ABV and final gravity (on a Anton Paar 4500 alcoyzer), calories and IBU for fun. If you are interested drop me a line on philip@thewicklowhopscompany.com and I can send you the address etc.

Thanks,
Philip

That's a great offer
I'd put a max on that Philip tho there's 3 or 400 members here
Be great if it was a members only offer as well as they pay for the electrons round here

I will just say the first 100 then and sure National homebrewer members only.

How long does it take? Would it be ok for a club rep to bring a bulk sample (i.e. a crate)?

Hi,
Does not take too long maybe a day or two depending on how busy the lab is. Yes that would be fine.

Would be delighted to see the IBU levels in finished beer compared to BeerSmith estimation & age of hops (fall off of AA%s).

I will be heading to the next garden county meet up. Bring a beer along.

Hi Philip,

What you're doing sounds really interesting; best of luck with it.

I have a Pliny clone that went wrong that is theoretically 150+ IBUs so very interested in this!

It's kegged  though. I presume I could draw something off into a plastic bottle; usual serving standards don't apply here?

No problem.
