Abstract: An apparatus and a method for monitoring the cleaning of the apparatus for at least one process container and/or at least one process line, and where the process container and/or process line can be cleaned by means of introducing a detergent solution, and with a measuring device for determining a first physical characteristic of the detergent solution, a measuring device for determining a second physical characteristic of the detergent solution, a measuring device for determining the temperature of the detergent solution, an evaluation unit which determines the detergent concentration in the detergent solution via the first and second physical characteristics and via the temperature of the detergent solution, and determines the continuance or termination of the cleaning and/or the re-concentration and/or replacement of the detergent as a function of the detergent concentration that is determined.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for stripping wort, with the apparatus including a receptacle that has a wort inlet and a wort outlet, and a heater on the side wall of the receptacle as well as a distributor device which applies the wort to the heating surface of the heater, such that the wort runs down the heating surface as a film.

Abstract: A method for continuously producing wort as well as a method for carrying out said method, wherein order to optimize process times and avoid energy peaks, at least one of the processes for producing wort is continuously carried out at a substantially constant output.
