Challenging the Quality System in New Innovations

Innovation in the brewing industry brings challenges to the quality system. Testing and monitoring should be increased during these phases to ensure potential risks are controlled. Blending out flavors should be done cautiously to avoid making more bad beer. It is important to know the limits of a quality system and adjust testing regimes accordingly. Sanitation and maintenance play a crucial role in controlling the process inputs and reducing the need for extensive micro testing. Sensory evaluation should be mastered, and panel testing with slightly off-flavored beers can help ensure accurate quality assessments.
