Wine analyzer BeerFoss™ FT Go

pHbenchtopFT-IR

Product overview
BeerFoss™ FT Go is a compact FTIR beer analyzer that delivers lab-quality measurements for alcohol, specific gravity (SG) and pH in under 3.5 minutes. Its user-friendly interface and rapid throughput support QC across wort, fermentation and finished products.

Value
Accurate, direct measurements of alcohol, extract and pH enable recipe-driven optimization of each brew. Fast results reduce reagent and consumable use and limit the need for technical service, improving lab efficiency.

Sample types

• Wort
• Fermentation samples
• Finished beer
• Hard seltzer

Parameters

• Alcohol
• Specific gravity (SG) / density
• pH
• RDF
• ADF
• Calories
• Extracts (OE, RE, AE)

Technology and operation
BeerFoss™ FT Go uses FTIR spectroscopy requiring no calibration for beer and minimal sample preparation. The instrument delivers objective, operator-independent results and features an intuitive touchscreen, automatic cleaning routines and integrated self-test functionality.

How to use
Obtain reliable measurements for wort, fermentation, beer and hard seltzer in ≤3.5 minutes. Workflow typically requires filtration for wort and some fermentation samples; beer generally requires no degassing. Includes short guidance clips on sample handling and measuring high-alcohol or non-alcoholic beers.
