Self-Brett® is a wine analysis kit for the semi-quantitative detection of Brettanomyces in alcoholic beverages. It combines a species-specific, culture-dependent detection method with easy, ready-to-use dip-slide technology, allowing producers to carry out the analysis independently.
What is Brettanomyces?
Brettanomyces is a genus of yeasts associated with wine faults that can produce unwanted odours and flavours, commonly known as the “Brett” character. These may be described as wet cloth, mouse taint, horse sweat, stable, paint or plastic.
Early detection can therefore help identify the presence of the microorganism before its effects become more pronounced.
Why use the Self-Brett test kit?
Self-Brett allows the analysis to be carried out independently, without necessarily relying on a specialised laboratory.
The presence of Brettanomyces can be assessed in three ways:
- Colour change: from blue to yellow;
- Odour: development of the typical “Brett” smell;
- Colony observation: visible colonies on the agar medium.
The kit also offers a lower-cost alternative to laboratory analysis.
What can Self-Brett be used for?
The test kit can be used to assess the presence of Brettanomyces in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer and cider, as well as on winery equipment.
