Stabilisation and Clarification(test)
PureDisc™ BDS2 is a backflushable lenticular depth filtration module designed for breweries looking to improve clarification, polishing performance and filtration efficiency without increasing cartridge use or handling complexity.
Built with advanced stacked-disc construction, PureDisc™ BDS2 combines surface retention, depth filtration and adsorptive capture to remove fine suspended solids, colloids and microorganisms from beer. The result is cleaner filtration, improved membrane protection and more consistent polishing before packaging.
Octoberfest 2026
Oktoberfest gives Australian brewers an opportunity to release traditional German and Bavarian-inspired beers at the beginning of spring.
Although Märzen is strongly associated with Oktoberfest, the modern festival is not represented by one beer alone. Pale Festbier is now the principal beer served at the event in Munich, while Märzen remains an important seasonal interpretation internationally. Bavarian wheat beers also provide a natural extension to an Oktoberfest range, bringing a more expressive fermentation profile and a useful contrast to clean, malt-forward lagers.
What Is Chitosan?
Chitosan is a naturally derived polysaccharide that has attracted growing interest across the beverage industry. Its unusual chemistry allows it to bind suspended material, interact with microorganisms and capture certain metals and other compounds from liquid.
These properties have already made chitosan an established processing tool in winemaking. In brewing, however, the picture is less developed. Research has explored its potential for clarification, microbial control and other specialised applications, but the results remain highly dependent on the chitosan source, formulation, dose, point of addition and characteristics of the beer.
