Novonesis SmartBev NEER
Designed for Low & Non-Alcoholic Beer NEER is produced using Novonesis proprietary production method which ensures high product performance, consistency and low risk of contamination. The NEER product is delivered on dry-ice, after thawing, can be transferred to the fermentation vessel using the sterile connection tube included in the package. NEER is highly concentrated 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.
Key Features:
- Pichia kluyveri strain: Isolated in New Zealand, selected for fermentation characteristics and its ability to only ferment monosaccharides.
- Frozen yeast: Direct pitching for convenience, speed and safety. From freezer to fermenter in 1 hour.
- Fermentation characterstics: Enhanced fruit flavours (esters/thiols) and medium production of polysaccharides for next generation full flavoured, yet fresh alcohol free beer.
- Production benefits: Without production of diacetyl, the concept allows for shortened maturation cycles.
Available NEER Strains:
- NEER POLY – The neutral and versatile strain (50 hL)
- NEER – Fruity and requires Brewtan (500 hL or 50 hL)
- NEER PUNCH – The fruit forward strain (50 hL)
