Terms Of Service:
- All lab testing is conducted using an Anton Paar Beverage
Analyzer or the official methods of the American Society of Brewing Chemists.
- We offer Quality Assurance Packages which provide discounts
for regularly scheduled testing. Available in quarterly, bi-monthly, and
monthly packages, these also include an on-going report summary so you can
easily keep track of results.
Please note: the entire yearly cost is
due in full with the first service. The same product must be analyzed for each
service and must be a commercially available product in commercial packaging.
While we will send you reminders, it is the client’s responsibility to send in
samples in a timely manner.
