Method for recovering beer and installation for executing the method

A method for recovering beer from cold-hopped beer (20),

• characterized in that
• the cold-hopped beer (20) is supplied to a decanting centrifuge (50), and the cold-hopped beer (20) is clarified by the decanting centrifuge (50) such that a separated solid substance (70) preponderantly has hop sediments, and a liquid phase (80) is clarified beer,
• characterized in that
• the cold-hopped beer (20) is stored within a storage tank (10) having a tank cone (15), before it is supplied to the decanting centrifuge (50), wherein at least three phases (21, 22, 23) of the cold-hopped beer are present within the storage tank, namely a first phase (21) substantially present within the tank cone (15), the first phase (21) having a first hop sediment share to be separated, a second phase (22), and a third phase (23) floating upon the second phase (22), the third phase having a third hop sediment share,
• wherein the second phase (22) has no hop sediments or a second hop sediment share that is lower than the first hop sediment share and the third hop sediment share, and
• wherein the three phases (21, 22, 23) are discharged one after the other through an outlet (18) of the storage tank (10), which is situated at a lower portion of the tank (10), whereby the phase of the cold-hopped beer (20) is determined based on a measured turbidity value EBC of the cold-hopped beer (20),
• wherein the three phases of the cold-hopped beer which are present within the storage tank, are clarified differently according to the measured turbidity value EBC.
