The FSI Service Laboratory operates as a 3rd party testing facility, offering laboratory and analytical services to regional fermentation-based businesses that manufacture beer, wine, and spirits. Services are carried out on state-of-the-art equipment by staff recognized as Certified Chemists by the United States Tax and Trade Bureau for beer, wine, and distilled spirits. Our faculty and staff stand ready to support the production and research, and development of fermented products and processes. Technical assistance is for all aspects of fermentation, including the production and characterization of feedstock materials and novel products.
