Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for production of brewer's wort comprising adding to a mash, a particular glucoamylase. Furthermore, the invention relates to use of a combination of a glucoamylase and an alpha amylase for production of brewer's wort.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for the manufacture of a fermented product, which is capable of being mixed with at least sweetener and water to form kvas beverage comprising the steps of either: a) blending kvas wort with sweetener, b) fermenting product of a) with yeast to provide an ethanol content of 2.5%-5% v/v c) separating yeast from product of b), d) distilling fermented separated wort product of c) to produce a concentrated wort with a solids content of at least 65% measured as refractometric Brix and e) heat treating wort concentrate of d); or ai) blending kvas wort concentrate with sweetener and water to produce wort with 15-40%, e.g. 15-34%, solids content, bi) fermenting product of step ai) with yeast to obtain 4-13% v/v ethanol and ci) separating yeast from product of bi). The invention further concerns a method for producing kvas beverage or a syrup which can be diluted to form kvas beverage, together with a concentrated fermented kvas wort, a fermentate, a syrup and kvas beverage obtainable by carrying out the methods of the invention.
Abstract:
Barley based beverages are produced in large quantities, employing highly energy consuming methods, for example in the malting and brewhouse facilities for kiln drying and wort boiling operations, respectively. The present invention relates to energy saving methods for preparing barley based beverages, as well as to barley plants useful in such methods. In particular, the invention describes barley plants with combined traits of null-lipoxygenase-1 (null-LOX-1), null-lipoxygenase-2 (null-LOX-2) and null-S-adenosylmethionine:methionine S-methyltransferase in one plant, which is particularly useful for energy saving methods to prepare barley based beverages, such as beer.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur thermischen Behandlung von Kwass-Würze bzw. Kwass-Würze-Konzentrat und eine Vorrichtung, insbesondere zum Durchführen dieses Verfahrens, wobei Kwass-Würze in ein Überdruckkochgefäß eingeleitet und erhitzt wird, wobei ein Überdruck in dem Überdruckkochgefäß derart eingestellt wird, dass die Kwass-Würze während des gesamten Prozesses nicht siedet.
Abstract:
Processes for preparing diatomaceous earth filter aids having a reduced beer soluble iron content, diatomaceous earth filter aids and compositions comprising the same, and methods for using the improved diatomaceous earth filter aids are disclosed herein. Further disclosed herein are processes for reducing beer soluble iron content by saturated steam treatment of a diatomaceous earth material in an enclosed vessel.
Abstract:
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 consist ing of centrifuges and decanter centrifuges; and filt ering 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.
