Abstract: This paper is focused on the results of the research project simBART. Particular attention is paid on a method for water evaluation in beer production sector. This process, under investigation, can be targeted to small and not industrialised enterprises as well as to those home brewing productions. Experimental analyses are conducted by means of VPeN, a vapour phase e-nose based on a specific sensor array. Six kinds of Italian mineral water and one type of demineralised water were taken into account in order to carry out the related tests. A comparison among signatures produced by the analysed methodology in function of each sample was realized just to produce the classification of those kinds of water, which resulted to be the most appropriate ones for specific beer production
