Applikation of high temperatures and pressures in the continuous mashing process. Part II.Peer-reviewed article

V. KAREL

The author presents the results of his experimental research works into the technology of continuous mashing based on the application of high temperatures and pressures. The conclusions derived from the experience with a small laboratory plant processing dried malt at the 20 1/hr rate have been verified by operating a bigger pilot plant of the 500 1/hr capacity (wort yield). It is clear that the method and equipment developed originally for mashing dried malt can be used for mashing green malt, as well, irrespectively of its proportion,i.e. up to 100 %. High pressure facilitates grinding. The technology of continuous mashing and the equipment of the processing line permit to create by applying high temperature and pressure conditions necessary for the formation of melanoid components in the green malt extract, so that the wort has the same properties as wort from dried malt. The described method contributes  to the development of continuous brewing technology and shortens the way, between malting, mashing and brewing.
