The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for brewing homemade beer per serving, which comprises an industrial stage of an industrial arrangement performing prefabrication and a domestic stage for home use performing fermentation-free brewing of beer along with preparation for consumption. The invention also describes a brewer apparatus (1) for use at home as well as the application method of the arrangement.

The brewer apparatus (1) is comprising at least one receiver unit (2) suitable for the addition and removal of a beer component container (5a, 5b), a liquid transfer unit (3) empties into the receiver unit (2), a filling member (4, 4b) is connected to the receiver unit (2), and a filling member (4, 4b) is connected to a gas transfer unit (8) suitable for delivering carbon dioxide into a bottle.

The present invention relates to a beer manufacturing device configured such that it is possible to directly produce and sell beer, the yeast of which is alive, on the spot without any expertise, and it is possible to easily manufacture various kinds of beer automatically at a low cost through a single session without a concern that the same will be contaminated by contact with the outside. A beer manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a chamber; a coupler fixedly installed in the chamber, the coupler comprising a wort channel and a gas channel; a channel portion connecting the wort channel and the gas channel of the coupler; a sterilizing/washing cap coupled to the coupler such that the channel portion becomes a closed channel; a sterilizing/washing filter container connected to the channel portion, sterilizing/washing water being stored in the sterilizing/washing filter; a pump connected to the channel portion; and a control portion for controlling the operation of the pump such that the sterilizing/washing water stored in the sterilizing/washing filter container circulates through the channel portion that has become a closed channel.

Method for the production of a polyphenolic composition from barley malt, including the fundamental steps of: grinding of the malt grains and splitting into two portions, 20% and 80%; mixing each of the two portions with water to obtain an A mixture and a B mixture, the A mixture being prepared with the 20% portion to obtain a mixture of the malt in water at a final concentration between 9.5% and 20%, the B mixture being prepared with the 80% portion to obtain a mixture of the malt in water at a final concentration between 33% and 60%; thermal cycle; separation of the liquid component from the solid component; boiling of the liquid component and the addition of hops; rapid cooling of the wort; storage; in which said thermal cycle consists of a first phase and a second phase, in which the first phase applies to the 20% portion (Mixture A) and the second phase during which Mixture B is added to Mixture A. The relative polyphenolic composition obtained according to this method is characterized by the fact that it can be in liquid, powder, dry, and lyophilized form, its use and relative beverage or beer according to the present method not obtained with fermentation methods.

Alcoholic beverages enriched with a neurotransmitter precursor are provided. The enriched alcoholic beverages, for example, beer, wine, fruit wine or spirit, afford enhanced euphoric feeling, elevated mood, motivation, focus and sociability, which exceed similar effects exerted by corresponding non-enriched beverages, yet reduce the adverse effects associated with alcohol consumption, particularly with intoxication. Further provided are methods for enhancing and prolonging a euphoric sensation associated with alcohol consumption, and methods for enhancing a desired cognitive ability, emotion, and/or a mental skill, comprising the provision to a subject, upon alcohol consumption, of an effective amount of at least one neurotransmitter and/or at least one neurotransmitter precursor and, optionally, one or more psychostimulant substances.

Disclosed is a system and method for extraction of soluble flavoring components from a solid flavor carrier material into a brewing liquid. The system comprises a process vessel and a filtration device. The process vessel comprises an inlet for solid flavor carrier material, a circulation inlet for material comprising brewing liquid and a circulation outlet for material comprising brewing liquid. The filtration device is arranged for separation of solid components from material comprising brewing liquid and is a cross-flow filtration device comprising at least one cross-flow filter, a circulation inlet for material comprising brewing liquid, a circulation outlet for unfiltered material comprising brewing liquid and a closable outlet for filtered material comprising brewing liquid. The process vessel and the filtration device are comprised in a recirculation loop. Furthermore, the system comprises a recirculation pump and a closable feed inlet for introduction of material comprising brewing liquid into the recirculation loop.
