Free ABV testing for UK breweries and cider makers

Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of products can be tested?

  We can measure ABV for beer and cider across all styles. This is particularly useful for low and no alcohol production, where small ABV differences matter.

• Is there any cost involved?

  No. The ABV measurement and sample collection are provided at no cost. There is no obligation to purchase equipment or services.

• How does the process work?

  Submit the form and a member of our technical team will contact you to confirm details and arrange collection. Once received, we measure the exact ABV using gas chromatography and share the result with you.

• How quickly will we receive the results?

  ABV measurement is typically completed within a few working days of sample receipt. Timelines are confirmed during the initial call.
  

• Are the results confidential?

  Yes. All samples and analytical results are handled confidentially and shared only with your organisation.
  

• What happens after we receive the results?

  You receive your ABV result and a summary of the GC method used. If useful, we can discuss how this approach compares with outsourced testing or in-house measurement. There is no obligation.
