A device and method for recovering energy from a hot medium, in particular from hot wort or hot mash for a beer brewery, including a first heat exchanger device for a heat transfer medium that is arranged in particular downstream of a device for heating, boiling or keeping wort or mash warm and is designed such that the heat transfer medium can be heated while cooling preferably wort or mash, wherein at least one heat consumer of the brewery is heated with the heat transfer medium. The heat transfer medium cooled down during heating the heat consumer can be recirculated to the first heat exchanger device in the circuit.

Apparatus and method for the recovery of energy

A method for a multi-step supply of heat to at least one processing device in a brewhouse includes storing in an energy storage tank a heat transfer medium, which is heated by a heat recovery device before it is stored; in a first phase, supplying heat to the at least one processing device mainly by supplying the heat transfer medium from the energy storage tank to the at least one processing device; and, subsequently, in a second phase, supplying a heat amount, which increases over time, of heat of non-recuperative origin to the heat transfer medium supplied to the at least one processing device, and thus to the at least one processing device.

Supplying heat to a processing device in a plant for producing beer

A whirlpool with an inner chamber for hot break separation by means of the whirlpool effect. In order to remove undesired volatile substances from the wort in a simple manner, the whirlpool comprises an integrated stripper, which has an outer chamber arranged around the inner chamber, for evaporating undesired volatile substances from the wort that has been transferred from the inner chamber.

Whirlpool

A premasher () for beer brewing processes, having a downpipe () for a stream of grist and an inlet opening () for mash water which opens into the downpipe (). In order to improve the mixing degree of mash water and grist, the inlet opening () has associated therewith a turbulence-generating flow guide means ().
