Lab Services

You just ran out of excuses for not doing QA/QC

We designed a laboratory that would make most regional breweries jealous, then put it in a box on your doorstep. From 200 BBLs to 15,000 BBLs a year, our family of producers trusts our services.

Why Fermly

Accessible, customized, and simple on purpose

Accessible

We built our own data portal for cloud access to your trusted QA/QC data. Everything from scheduling a test to knowing your results is at your fingertips, 24x7.

Customized

Every brewery is different, and you want to know specific data about your beers. A simple monthly subscription and pricing that makes sense for small producers.

Simplicity

Subscription boxes ship to your doorstep. Everything is included — fill the sample jars, seal, and have the box picked up. That is the whole job.

Accurate

Owned by a TTB-certified chemist, on calibrated Anton Paar and Pall instruments, with documentation that holds up for exportation and compliance.

Solutions

How It Works

Three steps between you and data you can trust.

  1. 01

    Fill your box

    Fill the sample jars, seal the box with the included prepaid shipping label, and arrange for pick up. No hunting for a courier, no dry ice math.

  2. 02

    We run the lab

    Your panel runs in our TTB-certified Denver lab on calibrated Anton Paar and Pall instruments, by chemists who have worked the brewhouse floor.

  3. 03

    Know your craft

    Results post to the Fermly Portal within 24–48 hours of arrival. Track every metric batch to batch so drift never surprises you.

Production Suite

With an innovative subscription approach to lab work, we help you take the guesswork out of maintaining consistency and quality.
