Application
Hops give beer its typical beer aroma. Proper dosage of the hops is therefore enormously important for the flavour of the finished product. Wort and hops are mixed together and cooked in the wort kettle. To ensure reliable control of the hops dosage and cooking process, level and pressure measurements are integrated in the process.
