This innovative solution revolutionises beer spoilage detection, streamlining the brewing process and enhancing production efficiency.

Tailored Solutions for Every Need

FastOrange® offers four specialised product lines, colour-coded for convenience:

• Blue: FastOrange® B for bacteria detection.
• Yellow: FastOrange® Yeast for yeast and mould detection.
• Violet: FastOrange® BRETT for Brettanomyces detection.
• Olive: FastOrange® Wild Yeast for non-brewing yeast detection.

How It Works

FastOrange® operates on a simple principle: beer spoilers produce acids that cause a visible colour change in the medium. Mix your sample with liquid medium or streak it on a FastOrange® agar plate, incubate at ambient temperature, and observe the growth and yellow colour development.

Available in various formats, including agar, bouillon, tubes, and hygiene swabs, FastOrange® is ideal for product analysis, equipment sanitation checks, and environmental monitoring.

Focus on Brewing Excellence

FastOrange® empowers brewers to detect beer spoilers effortlessly, safeguarding brand reputation and allowing them to focus on crafting exceptional beers. Its ready-to-use culture media ensures that even breweries without in-house labs can achieve exceptional quality control at every stage.
