    摘要: An automated or semi-automated beer brewing system may adjust a brewing session based on data collected during the brewing session. The adjustments may attempt to achieve a set of desired taste characteristics, even though a brewing session may then deviate from an intended recipe. A performance model of the brewing system may include taste characteristic effects and operational aspects of an automated brewing system, and may be used to calculate changes to various brewing steps. A control system may analyze various measured parameters to determine deviation from an intended recipe, and may use the performance model to calculate updated brewing steps that may attempt to achieve the desired result. When such measured parameters indicate a malfunction, a brewing session may be paused or terminated.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for an accelerated fermentation in a fermentation tank 2 with at least a tank cone 2a and a connection flange 4, in particular for beer production. The method comprises the steps: a) sucking in of fermentation fluid M1 from the tank 2 via a first circulation pipe 40 by means of a circulation pump 30; b) inducing of the drive fluid M1 that is now pumped by the circulation pump 30 via a second circulation pipe 50 in a mixing member 10 that is arranged within the tank cone 2a at a height L of 350 mm-1800 mm between the bottom edge of the connection flange 4 and the bottom edge of the mixing member 10; and c) generating of a jet directed upwards and exiting through an outlet opening 18 of the mixing member 10, so that the yeast cells stay for a longer time in suspension in the tank 2 by means of an in such a way improved convective current. The invention relates moreover to a corresponding device.

    摘要: A facility for introducing hop into a tank has a hop receiving tank that can be hermetically sealed and has an outflow and an inert gas supply at its bottom. The facility furthermore has a mixing apparatus that has two inlet pipes on its inflow side and an outlet pipe on the outflow side. This facility is adapted to a method for introducing hop into a tank, in which hop is put into a hop receiving container, air is expelled from the hop receiving container by inert gas and the hop with beer or “young beer” is supplied to the mixing apparatus.

    摘要: A brewing process including taking off a fluid having a starting temperature from a heat store; feeding the fluid to a plurality of heat consumers for releasing heat; and returning to the heat store the fluid which has a final temperature. The brewery installation has a heat store for controlling the flow of the fluid in the installation, and a plurality of heat consumers each of which is connected to the primary circuit for releasing heat. Improved efficiency is achieved in part by the final temperature of the fluid which flows out of the respective heat consumers is measured and the return of the fluid is controlled as a function of the measured final temperature.
