Abstract: Production of beer using a wort concentrate is described. In an embodiment, a system includes at least one fermentation tank comprising temperature control means. At least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored on at least one computer-readable storage media to perform a method of producing beer, including forming a mixture of a wort concentrate including hops and having a specific gravity of at least 1.085 kg/m3, with water and yeast in the fermentation tank, wherein forming the mixture comprises pumping the wort concentrate into the fermentation tank. The mixture is fermented and fermentation conditions monitored. On determining that predetermined fermentation conditions have been met, the fermented mixture is cooled to a temperature between zero and four degrees Celsius through controlling the temperature control means. The fermented mixture is carbonated, following addition of yeast finings, such that beer is produced.

Abstract: A system including: at least one fermentation tank; at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored on at least one computer-readable storage media to perform a method of producing beer, including the steps of: forming a mixture of a wort concentrate including hops and having a specific gravity of at least 1.085 kg/m3, with water and yeast in the fermentation tank; fermenting the mixture; cooling the fermented mixture to about zero degrees Celsius; adding yeast finings; and carbonating the filtered fermented mixture such that beer is produced. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions which when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform a method of producing beer.

Abstract: Various embodiments describe techniques for producing beer using a wort concentrate. In various embodiments, a wort concentrate having a specific gravity of at least about 1.085 kg/m3 is produced and packaged predetermined amounts while at a temperature of about fifty-eight degrees Celsius or greater. Packages can then be shipped or otherwise transported or stored. In various embodiments, the wort concentrate is mixed with predetermined amounts of filtered water, an acid neutralizing solution, and yeast and fermented for a predetermined time period. Various embodiments can further include cooling the fermented mixture to about zero degrees Celsius and storing the fermented mixture. In some embodiments, yeast finings are introduced and the fermented mixture is filtered and carbonated such that beer is produced.
