🌟 Meet Lukas Klein, our Brewmaster specializing in product application and recipe development! 🌟 Lukas is particularly interested in Non-alcoholic beers and a crossfunctional approach to increase efficiency in the brewing process. Lukas’s brewing journey began in school during a bio-chemical practical training, where he brewed his first beer and discovered his passion for fermentation. After studying brew- and beverage technology in Freising, he gained extensive insights into various production sites and supply industries. His experience includes working in a microbiological and chemical lab at a major German brewery, where he developed different kinds of hard seltzers. Lukas joined BarthHaas as a working student in the concept brewery, eventually writing his bachelor thesis on the impact of hop products on yeast vitality during dry hopping. Since October 2022, he has been a vital part of our team. Lukas’s favorite achievement? The big annual exhibitions like BrauBeviale, which provide a fantastic platform to showcase their work. A standout project for him has been developing unique beers balancing creativity with market and cultural insights. When it comes to hop-based beverages, Lukas is a huge fan of dry-hopped and traditional Pilseners, as well as the various Hopinades we produce for many occasions as a refreshing non-alcoholic alternative.

In challenging times, breweries may find themselves with surplus raw materials, leading to concerns about the freshness of hops in storage. How long will they stay fresh, and how should they be stored? The Hop Storage Index (HSI), a tool for measuring hop freshness, offers some guidance but comes with caveats. Despite being used for over 50 years, the HSI’s accuracy varies by hop variety and doesn't always correlate with brewing quality. Understanding these nuances is essential for maintaining the quality of your brews. Curious to learn more? Dive into our latest blog post for a detailed analysis.
