Hansen now brings the largest collection of cultures in the world, along with the most highly skilled fermentation experts to the brewing industry. By combining our innovative concepts with your true brewing skills the industry has elevated its standard. SmartBev TM is Fermentation. Redefined. Frozen Liquid Yeast (FLY) FLY is a patented concept that Chr. Hansen uses for the wine and brewing industry to provide the pure and most active yeast for direct pitching. When kept at -50°F, cells are stable for up to 18 months. This means no propagation, no rehydration, and no prolonged acclimatization time needed.
A fast, sustainable and cost-efficient solution for brewing full-flavored beer without the alcohol. NEER is produced using Chr. Hansen’s proprietary production method which ensures high product performance, consistency and low risk of contamination. The NEER product is delivered on dry-ice as a 1 kg frozen block that, after thawing, can be transferred to the fermentation vessel using the sterile connection tube included in the package. NEER is highly concentrated, 1 bag can be used to inoculate 212-425 bbl of wort and normally finishes fermentation within 3-5 days. Minimal maturation of the beer is required. Non-alcoholic Brewing Process Comparison Most non-alcoholic beers suffer from inferior organoleptic properties due to the ‘side-effects’ of the physical removal of ethanol or the application of cold-contact with regular brewers’ yeasts. NEER is a traditional brewing solution, which can produce full bodied, flavorful, non-alcoholic beers using our patented Pichia kluyveri strain.
