Abstract

Methods and systems are described that filter and stabilize ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverages produced by forward osmosis. A rough ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage may be received from a dewatering system and then passed on to a chiller as part of a post dewatering process. The ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage may be held at a predetermined temperature for a specific amount of time such that the temperature of the ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage is prevented from falling below a freezing point of the ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage. The chilled ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage is then passed through a number of filters of a filtration system. The filters may be arranged in an order progressing from coarse to fine filters, where haze compounds and their precursors are removed from the ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage producing a clear and stable product.
