Abstract
One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of producing a mash extract, said method comprising:
- a. mashing particulate, starch-containing and optionally malted raw materials with a recirculated aqueous stream;b. heating the mash and enzymatically hydrolysing the starch;c. transferring the heat-treated mash into a first separator for separation into mash extract and spent grain;d. transferring the spent grain into a first mixing vessel and mixing it with sparging water;e. transferring the mixture of spent grain and sparging water into a second separator to remove spent grain;f. recirculating an aqueous stream from the second separator to the mashing step,wherein the gravity of the fermentable mash extract obtained from the first separator is maintained at above 15° P.
