  • Publication number: 20080085355
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a processing method for producing beer-like low-alcoholic beverage by using usual beer and/or low-malt beer without using any special systems other than those commonly employed in producing beer. Beer and/or low-malt beer obtained by the process commonly employed in producing beer are diluted with carbonated water to lower the alcoholic concentration to less than 1%. After adding additives capable of imparting visual and tasty characteristics thereto, beer-like low-alcoholic beverage can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20050220935
    Abstract: A process for producing a beer-taste alcoholic beverage without the use of malt, barley, wheat, etc., including preparing a pre-fermentation liquid from raw materials of a syrup containing carbon sources, a material containing amino acids, hops, coloring matter, a foam formation/head retention enhancing substance and water; and fermenting the pre-fermentation liquid in the presence of yeast so as to form a sparkling alcoholic beverage. This process enables obtaining a beer-taste alcoholic beverage which has the same taste and appearance as those of beer and which is excellent in head retention.

  • Patent number: 6589386
    Abstract: A device for processing a substrate comprises a processing vessel (1), an outer vessel (2) for surrounding the processing vessel (1) which outer vessel (2) can be sealed, a first supporting member (4) for bringing the substrate (3) into and out from the processing vessel (1) which first supporting member (4) supports the substrate (3) in a standing manner, and a second supporting member (5) for transferring the substrate (3) between the first supporting member (4) which second supporting member (5) is movable up and down within the processing vessel (1). The device processes the entire surface of the substrate (3) uniformly and prevents varying in processing from occurrence.
