Determination of the total air in bottles and cans
Determination of the total air in containers for beer, beer-based beverages and carbonated beverages
Through heating and shaking, the gases contained in beer are collected in a burette filled with potassium hydroxide. The carbon dioxide is bound by potassium hydroxide, and the remaining volume of gas, consisting of oxygen and nitrogen, is measured [1].
This method describes how to evaluate gases sensorially, especially carbon dioxide.
Gases which are used in the brewing and food production industries
Contaminants are transferred from carbon dioxide or other gases to water and are detected through a sensory test.
This method describes how to determine the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved or chemically bound in water.
Water intended for use as an ingredient in the production of beer (brewing liquor) or other foods
This method describes how to determine the free carbon dioxide content of water.

The water sample is titrated with sodium hydroxide against phenolphthalein until a pink color is sustained for 3 min:
CO2 + NaOH → NaHCO3

Through the addition of solid calcium carbonate to a water sample followed by constant stirring for a period of time, either part of the salt will dissolve or the water will remain unchanged. By examining the sample prior to and after the addition of calcium carbonate, one can quantitatively determine whether it is lime-aggressive or not.
The method describes how to determine the content of tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene in drinking water through extraction and gas chromatography.
