US 2025/0019627 A1 · BEER PRODUCTION PROCESS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF INCREASING THE SUGAR CONTENT OF WORT

Abstract

The specification describes several examples of beer production processes, including a process including the steps of: mashing, including transferring sugar from grain-based solids to water, thereby producing wort; separating the wort from the grain-based solids; cooling the separated wort, including transferring heat from the separated wort to a cooling fluid; concentrating the sugar content of the cooled wort using membrane filtration, including separating water from the cooled wort; transferring heat from the separated wort to the concentrated wort; boiling the concentrated wort subsequently to said transferring heat from the separated wort to the concentrated wort; and fermenting the concentrated wort subsequently to said boiling.

Dependent claims

A process of increasing a sugar content of wort, the process comprising:

providing source wort at a first temperature;
cooling the source wort from the first temperature to a second temperature;
circulating the source wort at the second temperature through a membrane filter, including separating water permeate from wort concentrate;
said cooling including transferring heat from the source wort to the wort concentrate;
and
boiling the wort concentrate.
