Ask The Brewmasters

Hello,

I am currently exploring options to replace our Anton Paar DMA 5000.

Our sales rep has let us know that our instrument will not be supported beyond 2026, and neither our Alcolyzer nor X Sample will be compatible with the new DMA, so the whole system will have to be replaced.

Is anyone using anything else that they would recommend?

Thanks in advance,

I'm really happy with my EasyDens.

Just make sure you buy the appropriate cleaner and actually use it.
