And the filtration system is a filter sieve made in the form of two segments with the possibility of quick removal through a hermetically sealed hatch in the upper part of the tank.

A disadvantage of the known device is the design complexity and inconvenience of operation associated with a large number of manual operations and the inability to automatically control the process.

In the proposed utility model, the technical task is to simplify the device and increase the convenience of its operation.

In the proposed device for the preparation of beer wort, the solution of the technical problem is provided due to the fact that the system for extracting water-soluble substances from the starting products necessary for the production of beer wort is made in the form of a tank installed inside the tank. The filtration unit is made of two perforated sheets located inside the tank. The cavity of the tank from the side of its bottom is connected by a pipe passing through the bottom of the tank with a pump discharge pipe. The drain pipe of the tank is connected to a tee having a tap for a drain valve and a tap connected to a suction pipe of the pump. The tank is open from above and its height is less than the height of the tank to allow overflow of liquid over the edge of the tank into the tank. The temperature sensor, pump and heating element are connected to the control unit.

The claimed device for the preparation of beer wort has a combination of essential features unknown from the prior art for devices of a similar purpose, which allows us to conclude that the criterion of "novelty" for the utility model.

Other distinctive features and advantages of the utility model clearly follow from the description below, which is not restrictive for this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings, which depict:

- figure 1 schematically shows a General view of a device for making beer wort,

- figure 2 shows the electrical connections between the elements not shown in figure 1.

The device of the utility model is as follows. A device for preparing beer wort, contains a container 1 with a drain pipe 2 and a heating element 3 installed inside the container 1, a temperature sensor 4 and a filtration unit, a system for extracting water-soluble substances from the starting products necessary for the production of beer wort. The system for extracting water-soluble substances from the starting products necessary for the production of beer wort is made in the form of a tank 5, installed inside the tank 1, with the possibility of its disconnection. The filtration unit is made of two perforated sheets 6 and 7 located inside the tank 5 on the supporting protrusions, the sheet 7 is rigidly fixed to prevent its movement during the filtration process. The cavity of the tank 5 from the side of its bottom is connected by a pipe 8, passed through the bottom of the tank 1, to the discharge pipe of the pump 9. The drain pipe 2 of the tank 1 is connected to a tee 10 having a tap for the drain valve 11 and a tap connected to the suction pipe of the pump 9. Tank 5 is open from above and its height is less than the height of the tank 1 to allow overflow of liquid from the edge of the tank 5 into the tank 1. The temperature sensor 4, pump 9 and the heating element 3 are connected to the control unit 12. The control unit 12 has a connector 13, which can be used IAOD industrial USB-interface through which can be connected to a computer 14.

To prepare the beer wort, ground malt is poured into the tank 5 between the perforated sheets 6 and 7, the required amount of water is poured into the tank 1, the necessary temperature and time intervals of the beer brewing process are set through the interface of the control unit 12 or using the computer 14 through the connector 13.

An example of a temperature-time algorithm for mashing malt:

1. Protein: 15-20 minutes at a temperature of 52-55 ° C

Starch breaks down into long and short chains of molecules.

2. Maltose: 30-40 minutes at a temperature of 62-65 ° C

The formation of maltose and glucose from short chains.

3. Saccharification: 20-30 minutes at a temperature of 72-77 ° C

The splitting of long chains to low molecular weight dextrins and their dissolution

4. Final saccharification: 10 minutes at a temperature of 76-78 ° С

At this temperature, the enzymes become inactive, and the final sugary substances also appear.

Depending on the type of beer, technological conditions may differ from the above. When the device is turned on, water from the tank 1 begins to pass through the drain pipe 2, pump 9, pipe 8, and through the bottom it enters the tank 5, passes through the malt located between the perforated sheets 6 and 7, and through the edge goes back to the tank 1. Thus, the liquid continuously circulates from the tank 1 to the tank 5, washing the malt, and extracts water-soluble substances from the malt. After the extraction process is completed, the tank 5 together with the perforated sheets 6 and 7 and the remaining malt is removed from the tank 1. Next, the process of boiling the wort begins with the possible addition of water to reduce the density and the resulting increase in the amount of wort and the addition of hops. During the brewing of wort, bitter and aromatic substances from hops turn into must, and the foam resistance of future beer increases. Boiling also allows you to destroy trapped microorganisms and the remains of enzymes. After boiling, the protein and hop precipitate is deposited on the bottom of the tank 1. Then the wort is cooled, drained through a drain valve 11 and used to make beer.

The proposed utility model can be repeatedly made from elements and materials produced by domestic and foreign industry and can be used to make beer wort at home and in small batch production, which allows us to conclude that the utility model meets the criterion of "industrial applicability".

The applicant has made and tested a prototype device for the preparation of beer wort. During testing and trial verification confirmed the simplicity of the device and ease of use. At the same time, approximately 4.5-5 kg of malt and 20-50 g of hops (depending on the type of hops) were used to produce 20-23 liters of beer wort. It was found that after mashing the malt during cooking with hops, 5-10 liters of water will evaporate and it is necessary to add it, so in the end it took about 35 liters of water. Using a computer, various technological modes of operation of the device are established, allowing to produce wort for various types of beer. Moreover, in comparison with the known installations, the proposed device for the preparation of beer wort, due to the simplicity of its device, has low weight and dimensions, which is especially important for the preparation of beer wort at home and in small batch production.
