Abstract: The present invention relates to a yeast strain used in the production of a fermented beverage, wherein the yeast strain is a hybrid obtained by a mass-mating hybridisation process between haploid spores selected from Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Y927, strain Y115, strain WI011, strain WI017 and strain WI018, or wherein the yeast strain is an inbred strain of said hybrid. The present invention further relates to a yeast slurry, a method for brewing a fermented beverage, and a malt or tea-based beverage obtained on the basis of a fermentation process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the industrial production of a beverage based on a fermented liquid, wherein the liquid is fermented by means of microorganisms in a closed fermentation tank, wherein the fermenting liquid is circulated in the fermentation tank and wherein at least a portion of the fermenting liquid is mixed with air outside the fermentation tank, and then reintroduced into the fermentation tank. The invention also relates to a device for the industrial production of a fermented drink, the device comprising a closed fermentation tank provided internally with a jet head the fermentation tank being provided with a first conduit suitable for transporting a portion of the fermenting drink from the fermentation tank to an oxygenator, wherein the first conduit opens into the oxygenator and a second conduit exits from the oxygenator and opens into an inlet of the jet head into the fermentation tank.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the dispensing of a drink containing carbon dioxide, such as beer, from a barrel (2), the device comprising: •—a tapping line (3) which at a first end is connectable to the barrel (2) containing the drink, wherein a fluidic connection is created between the drink in the barrel (2) and the tapping line (3): •—a pressure line (10), also connectable to the barrel (2) and connected to a source or compressed air or gas (9); •—a cooling compartment (8) for one or more barrels (2); •—a tap tower (5) provided with a faucet (6) wherein the tap tower (5) has an internal channel for receiving part of the tapping line (3), including the second end, the length of the tapping line (3) is between 1.8 and 2.4 m and it has an internal diameter of between 2.5 and 3.5 mm.

Abstract: A first aspect of the present invention relates to a draught beer characterised in that the beer is refermented in the barrel and has an internal CO2 content that is greater than or equal to 7 g/L. A second aspect of the invention relates to a process producing refermented draught beer.
