Hi there. 

Some buddies and I are looking at trying to start a microbrewery, but seeing as we have never done such a thing we are sifting through all the regulations and such.

For you pro's out there, which laboratories do you use for testing your alcohol content to satisfy the Custom's regulations?

There are various testing protocols and if it is similar to Australia then determining ABV  by calculation is satisfactory when brewing volumes less than 100,000 L per annum but requires analytical methods above this volume.

As I have set up laboratories to do this including the one I worked for you could start by using the distillation method and if so desired using gas chromatography.

Alternatively, you can outsource your analyses to a good laboratory, one of which is located in Australia. 

Hope this helps but if you have further queries just drop me a line.
