Manganese(II) ions react in an ammonia solution with formaldoxime, forming a reddish-colored complex.

Manganese ions are catalytically oxidized into purple-colored permanganate ions. The purple color of the solution is determined using a comparator (or photometrically):

Mn²⁺ + 12  H₂O → MnO₄^- + 8 H₃O⁺ + 5 e^-

Manganese in wort is measured using the AAS technique by directly aspirating the diluted sample into an acetylene oxygen flame; the measurement is made at 279.5 nm.

Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a fast and reliable method for the laboratory analysis of metals. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), a high frequency field of ionized gas, serves as a medium for atomizing and exciting the substances found in samples. Liquid, dissolved or aerosol samples are injected into the ionized gas stream. In emission spectroscopy, ICP can be used in conjunction with a number of optical and electronic systems either simultaneously or sequentially in multi-element spectrometers. In the plasma, the atoms and ions are excited to a higher energy state bringing about the emission of electromagnetic radiation (light), primarily in the ultraviolet and visible region of the spectrum. Metals ordinarily occur as ions in the temperature range typical for ICP of 6000 to 10000 K; however, non-metals and metalloids are only partially ionized.

ICP-OES operates within a very wide range. This usually encompasses six orders of magnitude in concentrations smaller than μg/l up to g/l, depending upon the element and the concentrations used for the set of analysis data. With ICP-OES, beer and wort can also be analyzed without prior processing of the samples, in contrast to AAS. Methods for determining the following in beer and wort will be described below: Al, B, Ba, Ca, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, P, Si, Sr, Sn and Zn.

The manganese in beer is determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) by directly aspirating the diluted sample into an acetylene oxygen flame. The measurement occurs at 279.5 nm.
