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 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 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 a method and a device for controlling the wort flow from a lauter tun. To shorten the lautering time, according to the present invention a second increased outflow value which is to be reached within a given time interval is predetermined in the course of the total sequence of a brewing process (first wort, second worts) in at least one phase (trending phase), based on a predetermined outflow value of the wort outflow, the increase in flow rate/per time unit (increase value) as is required for attaining the second outflow value is determined on the basis of these values, and the determined increase value is used as a set value for controlling an outflow regulator.

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

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for lautering second worts in brewing. According to the invention the hot water needed for the second worts during lautering is introduced via a distributor through which also sludge and/or last runnings and/or first worts are introduced.

Apparatus and device for lautering second worts in 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.
