Brewing Analytes BAPS
“Supporting micro-breweries and global brands since 1989” A long-standing partnership between LGC AXIO Proficiency Testing and Campden BRI, our Brewing Analytes Scheme (BAPS) aims to promote quality in the measurement of chemical, microbiological and sensory analytes in beer. Having begun in 1989, BAPS is our second- longest-running proficiency testing programme, and supports the testing and quality systems of many of the world’s key breweries. Wherever they are in the world, consumers of beers expect their drinks to consistently look and taste the same. Brewers continuously aim to meet those high expectations, but maintaining and confirming the quality and reliability of a given product is challenging for both the production facilities and quality control laboratories. Microbiological test materials supplied to laboratories participating in BAPS contain organisms typically encountered in the brewing industry – and help assess factors such as the identity of organisms, lactic acid bacteria count and wild yeast count. Meanwhile our chemical samples support fundamental analyses including alcohol content, colour, pH, bitterness and carbon dioxide, as well as sugar and sulfur dioxide, and specialised alcohol- free, low alcohol and gluten testing. Participation in BAPS can provide laboratories with the confidence that their results are meaningful and accurate – which in turn helps to ensure consistency in beer quality, as well as brand integrity.
