Better Brewing (BB)

Back East Brewing LLC – Vinny Rossin

I love how easy the device is to use it is very straightforward. I have been using a lot less yeast and the beer quality has gotten better in my opinion.

I myself recommend this to every brewer i know, its super simple and if you want to make good beer yeast management is key. I think the Oculyze should be in everyone’s budget no matter if the brewery exists or it is in planning. You get a lot for what you pay for. My cellarman never did a cell count before, after getting the Oculyze he was doing cell counts all by himself in an hour. This product is very user friendly and no matter if you brew 500 BBL’s a year or 10,000 BBL’s a year the Oculyze will definitely help you.

Oculyze is incredible quick and easy to use. No lab equipment is needed, and therefore no need for expensive training.

Yeast costs have so far been reduced by about 50%, and as we change our brewhouse processes we expect this to rise. I wish I had found Oculyze on the day we opened our brewery four years ago. I would recommend Oculyze to any brewer that has an interest in re-pitching yeast and saving your brewery money!

Brauerei Huber – Hannes Langreiter

We as a small family brewery are absolutely enthusiastic about the Oculyze system. It enables us to count the yeast quickly & economically. At the same time, we now have the opportunity to further improve our quality. The handling is easy to understand and every employee can carry out cell count measurements within a very short time.

With the time saving of labour compared to the traditional counting method in the lab it’s a no brainer. You’ve taken out the time of a brewer counting for an hour in the lab to minutes by photos, everything is recorded and you don’t have the error of human eyes.

We are doing 7 yeast counts a day from lab to cellar props. I now even use this device in training sessions at the local brewing course.

Using OCULYZE has really benefited Philter. It is incredibly easy and quick to use, meaning that we can do multiple yeast analyses in a short space of time. This helps us identify any issues that may arise with our yeast health quickly and accurately. Being able to pitch appropriate amounts of healthy and viable yeast obviously contributes to the quality of our beers and OCULYZE allows us an accurate picture of the yeast throughout fermentation.

Learning to use the hardware and software is simple and efficient which means even brewers with less experience using microscopes can get an accurate reading without requiring a lot of training. Having pitching calculations built into the software cuts out human error and can be cost and time saving.

The team at OCULYZE are also quick to answer any queries we may have.
