Self-Brett® - BiorSelf

Self-Brett® is a compact kit that allows you to detect the presence of Brettanomyces completely independently, without the need for a laboratory analysis.

Brettanomyces is a yeast that contaminates wine, producing unpleasant odors.
The well-known “Brett aroma” (caused by volatile phenols) can resemble barnyard, sour milk, rancid cheese, and more.

This yeast produces ethyl phenol and ethyl guaiacol, two harmful compounds that degrade hydroxycinnamic acids (para-coumaric and ferulic acid) naturally present in grape must and wine, varying by grape variety.

The presence of Brettanomyces is difficult to monitor, often requiring analyses performed by specialized laboratories. With Self-Brett®, this detection is now easier and faster, even for monitoring the sanitization of tanks, barrels, and barriques!
