Principle
The newly developed device FermentoStar is based on thermo-analytical measurement methods combined with mathematical algorithms.
The beer sample should be degassed before by using a simple paper filter.
The device sucks in the defined sample volume (18 ml) and starts the analysis by warming up the sample.
During this warming up procedure the results at different measuring temperatures are assigned according the different chemical constituents.
The results (alcoholic content, real extract and original wort) are displayed and printed on a protocol printer in approximately  2 minutes. The resolution is 0.01% for any constituent

Handling /Calibration:
The device has only three buttons and the operation is carried out on a menu.
The device is calibrated with help of a reference beer.
Twenty different calibrating profiles (for example Pils, lager, or malt beer) can be stored.
All measuring parameters (alcohol, original wort and extract) are calibrated automatically in one step.
Only the reference values of the reference beer must be entered

Interfaces / Accessories:
The Instrument is equipped with a serial interface for the connection to a personal computer (software is included) as well as a parallel interface for a protocol printer (thermo printer is included).
The development of this new device simplifies the analysis of beer.
