| Abstract: | An automated method for the measurement of beer foam collapse time is described. The method uses a photocell detection unit and a timer which measures the time taken for sufficient light to pass through the collapsing foam. A novel standard dispense method, suitable for beer of greater than 2·0 vols of CO2 is also described. The method is intended for the rapid asssessment of the foam stability of smallpack beers for routine quality control purposes. |
