Although analysis of grab samples offers accurate results, it is time-consuming, carries the risk of non-representative samples, and does not supply continuous, real-time data. In-line measurement using a beer analyzer reduces the workload of laboratory staff (measures directly in the process, eliminating the possibility of inaccurate measurement results) and supplies a constant stream of real-time data, allowing rapid corrective action when necessary. Most significantly, in-line analytical measurements enable reliable, consistent production of beer.
