Flow Meters for Brewing Beer: How GPI Flow Meters Can Help Your Micro-Brewing Operation

As with any beverage making process, consistency and control are the keys to quality product. GPI offers a variety of meters to help you ensure a consistent brew. All meters provide totalizing (or volume of liquid) and flow rate (or speed of flow), two features not commonly found in a single meter. Using the totalizing feature allows you to accurately control the amount of water used in the mashing process to obtain the correct ratio of water to grain.

These meters display an instantaneous flow rate of the hot water being added. You can reduce or increase the flow rate to obtain the correct water temperature for every batch. In the sparging process, the meter will not only allow you to visually verify your flow rate but will also show exactly how much water was used. The meter will pay for itself in short order just by using it in the tank cleaning process. By showing you how much water was used, you will know how much chemical is required for the proper concentration and stop wasting expensive cleaning solutions. Whether you are looking for flow rate or total volume, one of the GPI meters will ensure batch to batch consistency and help reduce cleaning and maintenance costs.

GPI has three flow meter families to address brewing’s unique requirements:
