摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention is a nested fermentation method for making a beverage, such as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer, a wine, or the like, the method comprising the steps of: creating a first solution, wherein creating the first solution comprises fermenting first fermentation ingredients; creating a second solution, wherein creating the second solution comprises removing a first portion of alcohol from the first solution; creating a third solution, wherein creating the third solution comprises removing a first portion of water from the second solution; creating a fourth solution, wherein creating the fourth solution comprises adding second fermentation ingredients to the third solution and fermenting the second fermentation ingredients in the third solution.
摘要:
Disclosed is a system and method for extraction of soluble flavoring components from a solid flavor carrier material into a brewing liquid. The system comprises a process vessel and a filtration device. The process vessel comprises an inlet for solid flavor carrier material, a circulation inlet for material comprising brewing liquid and a circulation outlet for material comprising brewing liquid. The filtration device is arranged for separation of solid components from material comprising brewing liquid and is a cross-flow filtration device comprising at least one cross-flow filter, a circulation inlet for material comprising brewing liquid, a circulation outlet for unfiltered material comprising brewing liquid and a closable outlet for filtered material comprising brewing liquid. The process vessel and the filtration device are comprised in a recirculation loop. Furthermore, the system comprises a recirculation pump and a closable feed inlet for introduction of material comprising brewing liquid into the recirculation loop.

Devices and methods are described that enable controlled, repeatable and accelerated aging and infusion of alcohol containing beverages. The devices include newly reaction canisters in a computer controlled environment of valves, pumps, interconnecting plumbing, sensors and mixing and dispersing manifolds. Embodiments include devices and infusing materials. The infusing materials include traditional aging/infusing materials such as oaks traditionally used to make barrels for aging and infusion as well as other woods and a variety of non-wood infusion materials such as citrus, beans and seeds. The combination of controls, sensor and computer interface allows for repeatable preparation of aged/infused drinks and for development of new aged/infused drinks.
摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention is a method for making a beverage, such as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer, the method comprising performing a first fermentation step using a first set of fermentation ingredients to create a first fermented solution; removing a first collection of alcohol and aromatics from the first fermented solution to create a first de-alcoholized solution; adding a second set of fermentation ingredients to the first de-alcoholized solution; performing a second fermentation step using the second set of fermentation ingredients in the first de-alcoholized solution to create a second fermented solution; creating a beverage, wherein creating the beverage comprises using the second fermented solution and at least a portion of a previous collection of alcohol and aromatics.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for production of beadlets comprising hop acids salts in a matrix comprising at least one starch and/or starch derivative, to such beadlets and to the use of such specific beadlets.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for making Maillard flavor compositions in a structured lipid phase using Maillard reactants, e.g., reducing sugars and amino groups. The structured lipid phase comprises from about 0.3% to about 95% aqueous solvent and from about 5% to about 99.7% lipid plus emulsifier. The compositions are useful for enhancing the palatability of foods, dietary supplements, medicaments, and the like.
摘要:
To provide an extract or other substance that can impart not only bitterness and aroma but also taste elements such as koku and robustness without increasing astringency or harshness, and to provide a beverage having superior koku and robustness. Increasing hop-derived polyphenols, particularly trimeric proanthocyanidin makes it possible to provide beverages with koku and robustness without increasing astringency or lingering aftertaste.
摘要:
Lactic bacterial strains of the genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus which are capable of initiating and carrying out a complete malolactic fermentation on direct introduction, in the dried, frozen or lyophilised state, without a previous acclimatization step, at a concentration of between 106 and 5×107 UFC/ml, into a wine with an alcohol content of 10% or more and an average or high pH level. The resistance to alcohol is apparent with an excellent survival rate on inoculation and a rapid start to the fermentation activity such that the strain i) converts at least 5%, preferably at least 10%, of the malic acid into lactic acid in 5 days after inoculation of the wine and ii) converts at least 10%, preferably at least 25%, of the malic acid into lactic acid within 10 days of the inoculation of the wine.
摘要:
An extremely light stable, kettle hop flavoring agent is disclosed. The flavoring agent is made by extracting hop solids with a polar solvent and washing the extract with a nonpolar solvent capable of removing residual α-acids. The flavoring agent can be used to impart extremely high light stability and full kettle hop flavoring to malt beverages.
摘要:
An improved flavoring composition and process for brewing malt beverages is disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, the flavoring composition is formed from a high solids percent, room temperature stable, partially aqueous composition of a potassium salt of iso-α-acids. Such composition may be added to the wort kettle or else used as a post-fermentation additive, preferably after dilution with demineralized water. In another embodiment, the flavoring composition comprises a mixture containing reduced (rho-) iso-α-acids in alkali metal salts form, β-acids and hop oil. This latter composition is useful as a substitute for normal kettle extract, hops or hop pellets, allowing easy preparation of beer that resists formation of unpleasant, “skunky” flavors but has otherwise similar flavor and physical properties.
