Abstract:
A method is disclosed of preparing a colorless, clear beer by a method including ultrafiltration and the addition of dextrins, bittering agents and a foam enhancer. Methods of preparing improved nonalcoholic malt beverages and making natural beer foaming components also are disclosed.
Abstract:
A dosing system for continuously dosing and dispensing the respective quantities of auxiliary filtering substances to be added in connection with a settling filtration to a cloudy liquid, especially beer, for the cooling and yeast sediments, according to which for dispensing an auxiliary filtering substance for the cooling sediments as well as an auxiliary filtering for the yeast sediment there is provided one dosing device each equipped with a flow meter while both devices which are directly connected to the cloudy liquid conveying conduit are preceded by a flow meter and a device for measuring the total cloudiness of the liquid and by a measuring device provided with a heating zone for measuring the yeast sediment in the cloudy liquid conveying conduit. The dosing installation includes a control device for controlling the dosing devices in conformity with the cloudiness measured by the respective devices.
Abstract:
A disposable winemaking apparatus for fermenting wine containing skins, seeds, and stems that form a cap includes a single-use, dual chamber plastic bag that incorporates a mechanism to agitate and disperse the cap in order to maximize extraction of color and flavor. It also includes an integral press mechanism to squeeze out the fermented juice through a strainer, retaining the pomace in the disposable bag. The device may also be used for racking and transfer of wine during aging.
Abstract:
In a facility requiring transfer of a beverage during production thereof, the improvement includes a coupling apparatus passing bulk beverage therethrough and a having an outlet and an inlet along with a magnetic field generator associated with the coupling apparatus and exposing the beverage to the magnetic field as the beverage passes through the coupling.
Abstract:
Epoxy-polymerized tannin/inorganic oxide composite particles are obtained by polymerizing the tannin with a polyepoxy crosslinking agent in situ on inorganic oxide particles. The compositions of the invention are capable of achieving the performance of tannin in beverage treatment applications without tannin's associated filtration disadvantages.
