DE3804582A1 - Automatic beer-brewing appliance - Google Patents

Abstract

The appliance is constructed on the single-pan principle. The brewing process is carried out either intermittently or on a continuous daily basis. The malt (in a bag) for meshing is situated in a rotating wire basket. When the meshing process has been completed, the wire basket is raised and/or replaced by means of a robotic arm. The appliance brews beer automatically by means of a programmable electronic control system. The program is variable. The appliance is intended primarily for use in the home and in restaurants, and reduces the amount of work required.

Description

The invention relates to a mash or. South- Pan, which you can use to automatically brew beer. This pan consists of an isolated and functional heated vat by elec tronically controlled and carried out mechanically.

In the course of beer production, the crushed malt is turned into one Sieve cloth bags filled and enclosed in a sieve drum sen - lowered into the pan in the preheated sugar water is located. Then it is mashed up in stages warms and keeps warm. After this process lifts the robot takes the basket out and places it in the water preparatory tub, there the drum is ge in warm water turns to leach the residual sugar. (This sugar and the Warmth benefits the next brewing process.) Later lifts the robot removes the basket and places it on the Reserve space. The wort is in the brew pan brought to the boil, hop extract added in stages and then pumped out for fermentation.

This change in procedure may seem unusual, but it is not unknown in brewing technology.

Compared to the current state of the art of brewing, the Invention only a small amount of work, so you can also brew beer in small quantities. This advantage means that the device is used for restaurants and households that can.  

The invention is then based on the drawings purifies. It shows
