The Silver Microbe Testing Kit offers a broad-spectrum media (LMDA) that allows the brewer to detect the major wild yeasts and bacteria strains known to cause contamination during the brewing process.
The Silver kit provides 5 plates (each with a yeast and bacterial half) to allow the brewer to test 5 points of possible contamination. If contamination is detected, samples or plates can be sent to the Brew Plate Laboratory for microbial identification.
