¡°We started off about 12 years ago looking at ways to remove micro algae from large volumes of 3cultures.¡±
¡°Ready?¡± – ¡°Yup.¡±
Apparently, beer has been a great sample to test. Local breweries across the state, including Ex Novo in Corrales, have partnered with the labs to test this tech.
¡°It¡¯s not 4intense, it¡¯s not loud, and it doesn¡¯t use a lot of energy the same way like a 5centrifuge would.¡±
Founder of Ex Novo Brewing, Joel Gregory, says a standard beer centrifuge costs upward of $150,000. But this tech is like nothing he¡¯s ever heard of. The tech Los Alamos is developing is something Gregory says could go a long way for breweries everywhere.
¡°It¡¯d save us a lot of time and labor and the quality of beer would improve which are all great things.¡±
¡°When somebody opens a bottle of beer or a can of beer, it¡¯s going to have that quality that the brewers really intend.¡±
Gregory hopes the tech will be ready soon so that everyone in New Mexico can enjoy a 6crisper, cleaner, better beer with a 7quality the drinker will 8notice.
¡°We¡¯re super excited to see what it does, and yeah, hopefully it helps.¡±
