Abstract: The present invention relates to improved rocket engine systems. In one embodiment, an improved rocket engine system includes a propellant source, at least one power source, at least one power source motor, a rocket engine, and at least one pump. The improved rocket engine system may further include at least one of the following: at least one controller, at least one propellant valve, and a propellant pressurizing source.

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: A method and lauter tun for lautering wort includes a fluid gaseous medium introduced as a false bottom seal below a false bottom-of the lauter tun prior to lautering of the wort through the false bottom. The mash is transferred into the lauter tun above the false bottom after introduction of the false bottom seal. Wort running off in the lauter tun through the false bottom displaces the false bottom seal.

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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a grains-removing device for a lauter tun on which at least one grains-removing member is provided which can be adjusted between a raised neutral position and a lowered grains-removing position, wherein the spent grains can be conveyed out of the lauter tun by rotationally driving the grains-removing member arranged in the grains-removing position, and wherein on the grains-removing device, at least one position sensor (01) is provided, by means of which the position of the grains-removing member can be detected in at least one position, wherein the position sensor (01) interacts with a transmitter unit, wherein the sensor data of the position sensor (01) for the description of the position of the grains-removing member can be transmitted in a wireless manner from the transmitter unit to a stationary mounted receiver unit and transferred from the receiver unit to a control unit, and wherein for the supply of electrical energy to the transmitter unit, an electro-mechanical generator un
