The invention relates to a method for recovering beer from cold-hopped beer (20). According to the invention, the cold-hopped beer (20) is supplied to a decanting centrifuge (50) and is clarified by the decanting centrifuge (50) such that a separated solid substance (70) preferably preponderantly has hop sediments, and a liquid phase (80) is clarified beer.

The invention relates to methods for producing flavor stable beverages. The methods involve reducing the level of one or more amino acids, and in particular the level of methionine. The level of amino acids may be reduced by a number of different methods, for example by increasing the level of acid or base and removal of said acid or base by Reverse Electro-Enhanced Dialysis. The level of amino acids may also be reduced by treatment with an oxidizing agent, such as H.sub.2O.sub.2. The invention also comprises combinations of such methods.
