The best way to measure beer color is by using a spectrophotometer. By doing this, you meet industry standards and produce beer with attractive colors that appeal to your customers. Consistency is also vital in creating quality beer. Measuring color with spectrophotometers can help ensure color consistency with every production cycle.
Measure Your Beer According to Industry Standards
The Standard Reference Method (SRM) is the most widely used method to measure the color of a beer in the United States, helping businesses meet industry color standards. The SRM measures color according to a scale ranging from pale to dark beer. It also tests how each grain added to your beer affects its color. You can test according to SRM by using a spectrophotometer.
