Measuring device for determining the foam volume and the foam durability of beer

DESCRIPTION:

! Measuring device for determining the foam volume and the foam durability

k van Bier.The subject of the utility model is that through the measuring device

\ the carbon dioxide contained in the beer is released and thus beer foam

The resulting beer foam can be quantified and the

Foam breakdown can be determined over time.

To determine and record the beer foam, different Methods applied, e.g. the determination method according to Ross and Clark. The measurement is carried out in an apparatus of 100 ml of the beer, which is tempered at 20 ° C., in a graduated glass cylinder with a tightly fitting bottom Glass faucet, of 600 ml is made to foam while passing in carbonic acid through a gas distribution pipe.

Dder the Schuster method, with the foam in a graduated cylinder by pouring in a glass powder defined in the grain size

generated üiird. _ _ _. ■

The device developed by Klopper and Vermeire, the Nibem Foam Stability Tester, resulted in a significant improvement. By using a movable electrode system that follows the surface of the sinking foam, the times within which the surface of the foam is reduced by 1o are determined , 2a and 3o mm. The foam generation can be done with a "Flash" device from Ha.Haffmans BV, Venlo. With this device, the beer, which is tempered to 1o C, with a carbonic acid pressure of o, U bar is for exactly 5 seconds in a corresponding stand glass is printed. All systems iet common that one either too time consuming or requires that added to foam carbon dioxide "

In the case of utility models, foam is formed by the release of the im Beer carbonated by ultrasound in a graduated The foam formed can be read directly in ml

MB9sgernt to determine cIps foam volume and foam durability of beer

At the same time, the foam breakdown in ml after a certain Time can be determined e.g. after 5 or 10 minutes, which is ala Maas serves for the foam durability.

To facilitate the consumption of a certain amount of beer, e.g. 1oo Ml in the graduated measuring cylinder there is an opening drilled in at the 100 ml mark, so that excess quantities run out and are therefore always calibrated an equal volume is in the measuring cylinder. Oil opening is closed with a cuff during the measuring process "

To generate foam, the measuring cylinder is placed in a tiny water bath

with overflow and drain placed under the calibration the ultrasonic source The water bath is used to improve the transfer of the scarf to the amount of beer placed in the cylinder.

Since the standard cylinders in the puss are still hollow, and

thus a cushion of air when it is brought into the water bath in the Fueehöhl There are holes in the foot to allow air to escape appropriate.

To facilitate time monitoring when determining the foam

stabilit5t, i8t In the device a timer with optical and acoustic

Integrated display.

In Fig. 1 is the typical framework for determining the foam volume and the foam durability, which means:

(1) graduated measuring cylinder

(2) Boring

(3) water bath

( U ) Ultrasonic duels

(5) display

(G) Device housing

(7) UlassBT bath overflow
