Viscose specialty fibers are likely to be a future filter aid for
precoat filtration as they give high process flexibility, are bio-based
and fully biodegradable, bear no health risks and, therefore, are easy
to handle and to dispose of and, the most important criterion, they help
in obtaining optimum product quality without altering the taste.
Fred Scheer graduated in 1976 from Doemens Brewing Academy
(Munich, Germany) with a brewmaster’s degree in brewing and malting. He
worked at several breweries in Europe before emigrating to the United
States in 1983 to help establish Capital Brewery in Madison, WI. Later,
he was technical director for the Frankenmuth Brewery, a 50,000-bbl
brewery in Michigan. He also worked for Pabst Brewing in Milwaukee, WI,
in corporate brewing and for their China operation. In 2011 Fred
accepted the position of director of brewing and process technology with
Krones Inc.
