“We used Rahr Technical Center to help investigate higher haze values coming through our DE filter. Their team was communicative, quick in their turnaround time and presented us with a well put together report clearly explaining the results. They helped us understand the root cause of our beer haze so that we could come up with a solution.”
Amy Crook, Quality Control Manager at Firestone Walker Brewing Company
"Rahr Technical Center has the right people and resources to solve problems before they start. When Indeed switched to an external boiler in our brew kettle, Emily and her team dialed in the right methods to evaluate thermal stress and DMS levels; as a result, we’ve been able to decrease our boil times without sacrificing wort quality.”
Dan Stavig, Brewery Operations Manager at Indeed Brewing Company
"Rahr Technical Center has been especially helpful when developing & launching new products, whether it be a new year-round beer, barrel-aged strong ale, or Fulton's new RTD cocktail seltzers. Competitive pricing, ease of order placement, & quick turnaround has led to using RTC for all of our detailed fermentation-profile needs."
