A device for brewing beer, particularly a wort pan (), with a container body () to receive a wort reservoir () is described. The device contains an internal boiler () arranged in the container body (), which is provided with a heat exchanger () and a guiding screen (). Furthermore a wort forced flow () provided with a pump is also provided, which runs through the boiler (). In order to increase the efficiency of the device, the wort forced flow () has a thin-layer distributor () for the wort, which contains a pipe subsection () connected with the pump, which subsection leads above the guiding screen () via an outlet opening () with reduced outlet cross-section into the container body (). Furthermore, above the outlet opening (), a flow-guiding baffle surface () is provided, at which the flow arrives from below, to deflect the liquid towards the wort reservoir ().

Method for brewing 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 brewery plant with at least one mash container, a lauter tun, a wort pan and a water housing, wherein at least part of the thermal energy requirement of the brewery is covered with solar collectors, and the solar collectors directly or indirectly heat a fluid. Also, a brewing method where the thermal energy requirement for at least of a part of the brewing process stages is at least partially covered with a fluid heated directly or indirectly by solar collectors.

Brewery plant and method

A method for cleaning containers, in particular bottles of glass or plastics, and a cleaning machine with at least one cleaning medium, with the containers cleaned at least in one station preferential for the cleaning result and/or in a procedure step with at least essentially chemical-free cleaning media. The cleaning medium is advantageously a granular material, in particular granular ice, carried under pressure with compressed air or compressed water. The cleaning machine suited for carrying out the method includes downstream of an unpacking and presoaking station, a pre-cleaning station with a high pressure water blasting pre-cleaning section, and subsequently an intensive cleaning station with at least one intensive cleaning section to which a pressure blasting system for chemical-free, granular material and a carrier medium are associated, and a disinfection station following the intensive cleaning station.

Method for cleaning containers and cleaning machine

A filter device and a method for the filtration of beer, where, for an improved and simplified filtration, the filter includes a nonfiltrate chamber having a nonfiltrate inlet and a nonfiltrate outlet, wherein the nonfiltrate flows into the nonfiltrate chamber substantially tangentially to the walls thereof, and the bottom of the nonfiltrate chamber is constructed at least partially as a filter. The filter also includes a filtrate chamber underneath the bottom, and a filtrate outlet.

Beer filter

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.

Brewing process and brewery installations

A method for boiling wort used in the production of beer the wort is boiled in a wort copper in which an inner boiler comprising a superimposed thin-film distributor is disposed. After boiling and after removal of the sludge in a whirlpool, the wort is again placed on the thin-film distributor for evaporation so that the wort copper simultaneously works as an evaporator.

Method and device for brewing beer

A vessel and a method for thermally treating wort in beer brewing, wherein a wort guiding screen or cone is placed inside the vessel and a feed pipe ending above the wort guiding screen or cone is used to discharge wort from above onto the wort guiding screen or cone. The wort boiling method has the wort discharged onto an inclined, heated guiding surface from which it flows down and spreads into a sheet and is thereby heated.

Vessel and wort processing method for producing beer

The present invention relates to an apparatus for heating up wort during brewing. For a simple and inexpensive force-type circulation of wort during the heating or boiling process preceding the hop adding step, the present invention suggests a connection pipe which is branched off from the casting pipe downstream of the casting pump and terminates again in the vessel underneath the inner boiler for heating wort. Furthermore, there is provided at least one respective shut-off device in the casting pipe and the connection pipe downstream of the casting pump.

Apparatus for heating up wort during brewing

A lauter tun comprising a plurality of lauter pipes which are arranged with their openings in the bottom portion of the lauter tun in evenly distributed fashion over the bottom surface, which end in a collecting vessel positioned at a lower level than the bottom of the lauter tun and are led therefrom to a buffer vessel the level of which is controlled and which is connected via a compensating duct to the air chamber of the lauter tun. All of the lauter pipes end in a joint chamber of the collecting vessel which is connected via a single connection duct to the buffer vessel.
