Brewing on an industrial and a craft scale – impact on the physicochemical properties and volatile compounds profile of the pale pilsener-style lager beer analyzed with HS/GC-MS

The pale Pilsener-style lager beers produced on a massive and craft scale were taken to analyse their basic physicochemical properties (alcohol content, pH, haze, real degree of fermentation) and volatile compounds profiles. The research was carried out using a beer analyser equipment and a headspace gas chromatographymass spectrometry method (HS/GC-MS). The findings showed that in terms of physicochemical and flavour attributes, the quality of craft beers differed to a higher degree from the standard Pilsener beer quality than in the case of industrial beers.
