Abstract

926,906. Continuous beer fermentation. BREWING PATENTS Ltd. Oct. 5, 1960 [Oct. 9, 1959], No. 34251/59. Class 14 (2). In producing potable beer, a stream of unfermented wort is supplied to an enclosed vessel containing a vigorously agitated, substantially homogeneous, body of fermenting wort and yeast held at substantially constant temperature, the rate at which the unfermented wort is added being arranged to displace fermented wort at a desired degree of attenuation of fermentable sugars, and the displaced fermented wort is led from the enclosed vessel through an upwardly directed settling chamber, within which the flow rate of the fermented wort is sufficiently slow as to permit a substantial proportion of the yeast to separate out and to fall back into the enclosed vessel. The settling chamber may consist of (i) a side arm 5, Figs. 1 and 3, protected from the agitation provided in the fermentation vessel 2, to which it is attached, by downwardly handing baffles 9; greater output of yeast can be obtained by partial or complete removal of the baffles, (ii) an inclined tube 15, Fig. 4, within the fermentation vessel, or (iii) a vertical tube 21, Fig. 6, containing a concentric escape tube 20; by vertical adjustment of the relative positions of the tubes 20 and 21, the quantities of yeast escaping from the apparatus can be controlled and the concentration of yeast within the vessel maintained at a predetermined level. Yeasts having a high tendency to flocculence (defined) are preferably employed.
