摘要： The present invention relates to a continuous method of fermenting wort, said method comprising: —fermenting wort with a biologically active yeast to produce an alcohol containing fermented liquid; —introducing the fermented liquid containing at least 10 g/l of biologically active yeast into a maturation vessel; —separately removing yeast containing sediment and supernatant liquid from the vessel; and —optionally recirculating at least a part of the yeast containing sediment to the wort fermentation; wherein the residence time of the fermented liquid in the maturation vessel exceeds 6 hours. The present method offers the advantage that it combines maturation and yeast separation into one processing step, whereas conventional continuous processes require at least two separate processing steps, one for yeast separation and one for maturation. Secondly, the present method is very robust as the relatively high residence time that is needed for maturation ensures that effective sedimentation is achieved under virtually all conditions.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method of producing yeast fermented beverages, which method comprises the following consecutive continuous processing steps: a. introducing wort into a series of one or more propagation vessels in which it is combined with a recirculated stream of yeast-containing residue and in which the yeast is allowed to propagate under aerobic conditions whilst being kept suspended; b. transferring the yeast-containing wort from the propagation vessel into a series of one or more fermentation vessels in which the yeast is kept suspended under anaerobic conditions and is allowed to metabolise carbohydrates present in the wort; c. transferring at least a part of the fermented wort from the series of one or more fermentation vessels to one or more separators to remove a yeast-containing residue; d. recirculating part of the yeast-containing residue to the series of one or more propagation vessels; and e. feeding the remainder of the fermented wort to subsequent processing steps; wherein the wet yeast content of the wort in the series of one or more fermentation vessels is maintained at more than 100 g/l. The utilisation of very high yeast concentrations offers the advantage that fermentation times and/or fermenter volume can be reduced substantially. Furthermore, continuous fermentations conducted at high yeast concentrations are less vulnerable to microbial infections.

摘要： The invention relates to a method of producing a bright, yeast fermented beverage, said method comprising the continuous production of wort from mash. More particularly, the present method comprises: a. mashing in a particulate, starch-containing raw material with water and enzymatically hydrolysing the starch to fermentable sugars; b. continuously producing a fermentable wort from the heated mash; c. introducing the wort into a fermenter to ferment the wort with the help of biologically active yeast; d. removing yeast from the fermentate by means of sedimentation; and e. clarifying the low-yeast fermentate to produce a bright, yeast fermented beverage by: processing the low-yeast fermentate in one or more separators to remove suspended material, said one or more separators being selected from the group consisting of centrifuges and decanter centrifuges; and filtering the processed fermentate. The efficiency with which the low-yeast fermentate is clarified to a bright beverage can be maintained during a very long period of time (e.g. for several weeks), which is particularly beneficial in case of a continuous brewing operation in which both wort production and yeast fermentation are carried out in a continuous fashion.
