Abstract: A device for extracting aroma substances from vegetable aroma carriers into a brewing liquid includes a solids separating device for separating the vegetable aroma carriers from the brewing liquid in flow, the solids of the aroma carriers being held back in the solids separating device. The device comprises a heater for heating the suspension of brewing liquid and aroma carriers to an isomerization temperature at which the ?-acids contained in the aroma carriers are converted into iso-?-acids.

Abstract: A device for extracting aroma substances from vegetable aroma carriers into a brewing liquid, in particular into beer, includes a fluidized bed extractor accommodating a suspension bed including the brewing liquid and solid particles contained in aroma carriers. The fluidized bed extractor has at least an inlet and an outlet for the brewing liquid. A feed pump pumps the brewing liquid from the inlet through the fluidized bed extractor to the outlet. A feeding speed of the feed pump is set to a value at which an average vertical feeding speed of the brewing liquid in the fluidized bed extractor is lower than an average vertical sedimentation speed of the solid particles in the fluidized bed extractor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adding hops in beer manufacture, having the following process steps; a) separation of a sub-quantity (07a) of water and/or wort (07) and/or beer as an aqueous fluid, b) addition of hop extract (10) in liquid or pasty form to the separated aqueous fluid (07a), c) production of a macroemulsion (13) of the hop extract by emulsifying the hop extract (10) in the aqueous fluid (07a), d) increasing the pressure in the macroemulsion (13) of the hop extract to a feed pressure of in particular higher than 100 bar, e) production of a microemulsion (17) of the hop extract by feeding the pressurized macroemulsion (13) through a gap or a valve (16) or by feeding the pressurized macroemulsion against a baffle plate, f) at least partial return of the microemulsion (17) of the hop extract to the beer manufacturing process.
