Abstract
The invention relates to a method for macerating and wet-crushing brewing ingredients, wherein the brewing ingredients are continuously taken from a supply container. Subsequently substantially equal portions of the brewing ingredients are conveyed along a circular path, and an excess of macerating water is added thereto. The excessive macerating water is collected and discarded, whereupon the brewing ingredients are fed to a wet-crushing mill. A simplification of known methods, and of the structure of known apparatus for carrying out such method is achieved by the provision that the macerating process is carried out exclusively during transport of the brewing ingredients along the circular path, and that the macerated brewing ingredients are then immediately fed to the wet-crushing mill.
