摘要:
A method, and related apparatus, for producing beer from any types of grains includes activating phenomena of controlled hydro-dynamic cavitation during all the steps of the process, from mashing to hopping, and possibly after yeast inoculation. The present method and apparatus provide a number of advantages over traditional techniques, for example, avoiding the pre-crushing of the malts or the grains, thereby increasing the efficiency of saccharification and of starch extraction, and avoiding the boiling at equal efficiency of the hopping. Another advantage is the opportunity of causing the concentration of gluten to fall in the final product simply with controlled hydraulic processes through electromechanics, and of possibly extending fermentation.
摘要:
A process of mashing grain into fermentable sugar wherein two pots are used in the process. A first pot and a second pot is partially filled with water. Heat is added to the first pot. Heat is transferred to the second pot by transferring the water from the first pot to the second pot at a preestablished rate. Grain is added to the second pot which in conjunction with the water forms a wort. The wort is drained from the second pot to the first pot.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process for the continuous preparation of wort, including the continuous enzymatic conversion of malt in one rotating disc contactor and separation of spent grain from mash in a separation unit. Further, a process for the continuous preparation of wort, including the continuous gelatinization and enzymatic liquefaction of a mixture based on unmalted grain, malt and/or an enzyme source and water in a rotating disc contactor, addition of malt and/or enzyme source to the product obtained, enzymatic conversion of the product obtained and separation of the spent grain from the mash in a separation unit.
摘要:
The conventional brewing process for producing a malt beverage which includes the preparation of a mash, the conversion of the mash to wort, the boiling of the wort, cooling of the wort and fermentation, is substantially abbreviated, e.g. by as much as 50% by subjecting malt flour to air classification to produce a fraction having a high starch content which is used in the mash, whereby the mash conversion and wort boiling steps can be combined in a one-kettle operation to yield a fermentable boiled wort. Moreover, the by-product of the air-classification is a high protein malt flour which can be used to make bread.

Methods and processes for brewing malt beverages with electrolytes are provided. In one embodiment of the invention, salts or electrolyte-yielding compounds are added in concentrations or levels greater than those currently believed to be practicable in the art. In some embodiments, the electrolyte-yielding compounds may be added in one or more stages of the brewing process. The methods presented provide flexibility in brewing malt beverages, including beer, with altered electrolyte levels, and alterations of one or more flavors.
摘要:
The present invention provides a continuous method of preparing a liquid extract of cereal grain by comminuting cereal grain at a rate of at least 100 kg of dry cereal grain per hour and extracting the comminuted cereal grain with a liquid, said method comprising: continuously combining cereal grain with a liquid; continuously disintegrating the grain particles contained within the liquid by colliding freely suspended grain particles with one or more rotating blades, thereby producing a milled suspension; continuously transferring at least a part of the milled suspension, optionally after further treatment, to a separation device for separation into spent grain and liquid extract; wherein the one or more rotating blades are rotating at a tip speed of at least 10 m/s; the total mechanical energy transferred into the milled suspension by the one or more rotating blades is in the range of 5-1000 kJ per kg of dry cereal grain; and the distance between a tip of said one or more rotating blades and the axis of rotation is in the range of 2-25 cm. The invention also provides a system for comprising a milling apparatus and a separation device suitable for use in the aforementioned method.The present method and system offer several advantages, including savings on capital expenditure and maintenance, short milling times and hygienic design.
