Determination of Ethanol in Malt Beverages Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. M. E. Cieslak and W. C. Herwig, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, WI 53201. J. Am. Soc. Brew. Chem. 40:0043, 1982.

The high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method using a hydrogen form cation exchange column to quantitate ethanol in malt beverages was evaluated. The method was fast and precise. Correlation with the reference distillation method was very good for ethanol levels in samples from low-calorie to imported beers. The HPLC method was more versatile than refractometry for the analysis of several samples.

Keywords: Analysis, Distillation, Ethanol, High-performance liquid chromatography, Refractometry.
