Device and method for extracting value adding contents from plant based content carriers into a brew liquid

A method for extracting value adding content substances from plant-based content substance bearers into a brew liquid, the method comprising:

• generating a suspension including fresh brew liquid selected from the group consisting of wort, beer, water and young beer and the plant-based content substance bearers selected from the group consisting of hop, solid hop materials, shells of citrus fruits and coffee;
• at least partially distributing or dissolving the plant-based content substance bearers in the suspension so that the value adding content substances transfer from the plant-based content substance bearers into the brew liquid;
• thereafter
• a′) feeding the suspension through a transport conduit:
• b′) introducing fresh brew liquid with a concentration of the value adding content substances that is lower than a concentration of the value adding content substances in the suspension into the suspension that flows in the transport conduit to form a diluted suspension in the transport conduit and introducing the diluted suspension into a solid-liquid separator;
• c′) separating the plant-based content substance bearers from the diluted suspension in the solid-liquid separator;
• d′) draining the brew liquid infused with the value adding content substances from the solid-liquid separator for further processing;
• and
• e′) removing the plant-based content substance bearers separated from the diluted suspension in step c′) from the solid-liquid separator into a solid material collection container.
