PIKA FastOrange® B Bouillon

FastOrange® B Bouillon is a concentrated culture medium which specifically detects beer spoiling bacteria in all stages of the brewing process from yeast to finished beer.

Lactic acid bacteria Lactobacilli and Pediococci as well as the anaerobes Pectinatus and Megasphaera are easily detected by a color change of the broth from violet to yellow.

Incubation time is 2-3 days with PCR and 3-7 days with visual evaluation
