The Craft Brewers Conference and BrewExpo America is next week, May 7-10, in Nashville, Tenn. Are you ready? No, you’re not. How do I know? Because you haven’t yet skimmed these handy CBC 2023 previews from Craft Brewing Business! We reached out to all of the exhibitors to tell us what they’ll be showing off this year. Here is what they had to say.
Gusmer | Booth 2513
This year at CBC, Gusmer has several new product offerings including Chr. Hansen’s SmartBevT Frozen Liquid Yeast (FLY), the CDR BeerLab, and Gusmer’s MicroElements Hard Seltzer HG Nutrients.
Chr. Hansen’s SmartBev yeast is designed to help the brewing industry optimize its yeast program. The product itself is delivered in a pouch format and contains high CFU, high activity, and purity. The frozen format keeps the yeast dormant in an active state, making it ready to use as soon as it is thawed. The FLY format may be new for the brewing industry, but Chr. Hansen has found success with this format for years. It provides the perfect combination of high-quality yeast, long shelf life, and convenience in use.
Gusmer’s MicroElements Hard Seltzer HG is a powder blend of complex fermentation nutrients formulated for high gravity seltzer fermentations. It is composed of organic and inorganic nitrogen, vitamins, trace minerals, sterols, amino acids, proteins and peptides.
