摘要： A pressure regulating system for a beverage container includes a first compartment for containing a pressurized gas. The first compartment is in fluid communication with a surrounding space through a gas valve for opening and closing a passage between the first compartment and surrounding space. A gas valve control system includes a deformable and/or movable wall or wall part, which is in contact with the gas valve for opening and/or closing the gas valve. A second compartment is provided at a side of the deformable and/or movable wall part. The movable and/or deformable wall part forms a wall of said second compartment and the second compartment forms a pressure regulating space and includes a wall part formed by or including at least a gas permeable, liquid tight permeable wall part.

摘要： The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a liquid alcoholic beer concentrate, said process comprising:
providing a low alcohol beer having an ethanol content of 0-1% ABV, a free amino nitrogen content of 8-400 mg/L and containing 0.1-4 g/L maltotriose and 0.5-6 g/L of maltotetraose;
removing at least 70 wt. % of the water present in the low alcohol beer by means of membrane separation to produce a low alcohol beer concentrate, wherein the membrane separation is selected from nanofiltration, reverse osmosis and forward osmosis;
combining the low alcohol beer concentrate with alcoholic liquid having an ethanol content of at least 30 wt. % to produce a liquid alcoholic beer concentrate having a an ethanol content of 10-60 wt. %.
The present process offers the advantage that it is relatively easy to operate, whilst at the same time losses of small organic molecules (e.g. acids) are minimized effectively.-

摘要： A dispensing system for a beverage comprises in a tap system a bore for housing a duct. Along the bore, close to or on the duct, at least two electrodes are provided such that at least at some locations along the duct, the two electrodes are provided opposite to one another with the duct in between, thus constituting a capacitor. An oscillating signal is provided to one electrode and a signal is read out from the other electrode. As a beverage is drawn through the duct in a container, capacitance of the capacitor changes.
The flowing beverage may have different characteristics, but capacitance may also change as the beverage in the duct is in conducting contact with a container that may be in contact with an earth contact. The change of capacitance results in a change of the amplitude of a detection circuit connected to the second electrode.-

摘要： A cooling device is provided for cooling a beverage in a dispensing line. The device comprises two heat exchangers for exchanging thermal energy between the beverage and a coolant fluid in a cooling circuit; the coolant fluid having a lower temperature than the beverage. Placing the two heat exchangers in series relative to the dispensing line, provides two-stage cooling, allowing more accurate cooling. This may be improved by placing brute force cooling to a particular temperature window, followed by accurate cooling. This makes the cooling process is less sensitive to whatever the initial temperature of the beverage may be. Relative to the cooling circuit for the coolant, the two heat exchangers may be placed in parallel and, optionally, further in parallel to a buffer circuit. A distribution module may be provided to control distribution of coolant over the heat exchangers, optionally from the buffer, to control temperature of the beverage.

摘要： Valve for a beverage container. A valve (1) for a beverage container (100) comprises a mounting element (10) for mounting the valve (1) in a container opening. The mounting element (10) extends radially from an inner side defining a fluid passage (12) through the mounting element (10) to an outer peripheral side for sealing against a container edge at the container opening. The mounting element (10) is coupled to a valve housing (20) comprising a housing side wall (21) extending axially from a housing top wall (22) to a housing bottom wall (23). The housing top wall (22) is sealed against the mounting element (10) and has a beverage outlet opening (25) aligned with the fluid passage (12). The housing side wall (21) has a beverage inlet opening. A valve body (30) is axially moveable inside the valve housing (20) from a first position closing off the beverage outlet opening (25) to a second position opening fluid connection through the beverage outlet opening (25). The valve body (30) comprises a closed upper end section (31) fixedly received in the beverage outlet opening (25) in the first position and operable to be moved away from the beverage outlet opening (25) to the second position axially past at least a part of the beverage inlet opening in the side wall. The valve body (30) further comprises a lower end section (32) extending axially from the closed upper end (31) in the direction of the housing bottom wall (23), the lower end arranged to contact an inner surface of the housing (20) at least in the second position.

摘要： The invention relates to a single-serve capsule comprising at least two compartments, including a first compartment and a second compartment; wherein the first compartment comprises a liquid concentrate of an alcohol-free beer, said liquid beer concentrate having an ethanol content of 0-1% ABV, wherein the second compartment comprises an alcoholic liquid containing 12-100 wt. % ethanol and 0-88 wt. % water, and wherein ethanol and water together constitute 80-100 wt. % of the alcoholic liquid
The capsule of the present invention can suitably be used to prepare a good quality alcoholic beer by mixing the contents of the capsule with carbonated water.
The liquid beer concentrate in the first compartment can suitably be produced by reducing the water content of alcohol-free beer by means of membrane separation and/or by means of freeze concentration. The physicochemical stability of the liquid beer concentrate so obtained is very high due to the very low (or zero) ethanol content.-

摘要： The present invention relates to a process of manufacturing a packaged liquid beer concentrate, said process comprising: providing an alcoholic beer comprising 3-12% ABV ethanol; removing at least a part of the ethanol from the alcoholic beer by means of distillation, thereby producing (i) a low alcohol beer having an ethanol content of 0-1.5% ABV alcohol and (ii) an alcoholic liquid containing at least 10% ABV ethanol; removing at least 70 wt. % of the water present in the low alcohol beer by means of membrane separation and/or freeze concentration to produce a liquid beer concentrate; if the alcoholic liquid contains less than 20% ABV ethanol, concentrating the alcoholic liquid to an ethanol content of at least 30% ABV by means of distillation, reverse osmosis or forwards osmosis; separately packaging the liquid beer concentrate and the alcoholic liquid within a single container or within separate containers that together form a kit of parts. The present process offers the advantage that it can utilise de-alcoholisation units that are commonly used in the production of low alcohol beer, thus minimising capital investment. The low alcohol beer that is obtained by the dealcoholisation step can be concentrated in a single step to produce the liquid beer concentrate.

摘要： Method for joining a fluid conduit and a connection hub. There is provided a method for joining a fluid conduit 2 and a connection hub 7, wherein a fluid 2 conduit is provided having an at least partially transparent end section 1. Also provided is a connection hub 7 comprising a hub cavity 9 having a shape complementary to a shape of the end section of the fluid conduit 1. The end section of the fluid conduit 1 is at least partly introduced into the hub cavity 9 through an opening in the hub, wherein a contact interface between at least a lateral wall part of the end section 1 and a hub cavity 9 wall is established. The method includes heating a target zone 27 in the contact interface, for joining the fluid conduit 2 and the connection hub 7 at the target zone 27, by directing a light beam 29 across the at least partially transparent end section 1 of the fluid conduit 2 from a side of the fluid conduit 2 which is opposite a side of the target zone 27.

摘要： The invention pertains to a beer having an ethanol content of 0-1.0 vol. %, comprising at least 0.001 μg/l eth-yl-2-methylpentanoate (EMP). It has been found that EMP has a strong wort-flavor masking effect. A beer of the invention has low wort-flavor and less overpowering flavor, and is generally considered refreshing.
