One of the least understood parts of the production of any alcoholic product is fermentation.  However, it can be relatively easy control once you understand the process critical control points.  By regarding mashing and fermentation as unit process and taking a black-box approach it is possible to rapidly improve consistency and product flavor.  Call on our experience and know-how to achieve your company goals. 

In the fuel ethanol industry the technologies of milling and distillation are well understood, while the conversion of starch to ethanol is less predictable.  Ethanol yields can be lower through poor yeast performance, poor starch conversion, and through contamination by wild yeast and bacteria.  Experience in the brewing industry gives us a unique perspective on solving problems in the fuel ethanol industry.
