User interface for recipe creation
10822580 · 2020-11-03 · ·

A user interface for a beer recipe creator may have a series of icons that may represent ingredients. A user may drag and drop or otherwise add the icons to containers on a display screen to add or remove ingredients to the recipe. With each added or removed ingredient, a set of descriptors may be updated. The descriptors may include numerical values of beer parameters as well as textual descriptions and visual descriptions. The system may allow a user to start with a desired beer style, and the parameters may show variances from the selected style. The system may generate an ingredients list, as well as a brewing recipe that may be transferred to a controller for a beer making machine. The system may adjust certain parameters that are controllable by the beer making machine to make flavor and other adjustments selected by a user.

Beer maker
10808213 · 2020-10-20 · ·

A beer maker may include: a fermentation container having a beer brewing space, a thermoelectric module (or device) for heating or cooling inside of the housing, an ingredient supplying device, and a main channel connecting the ingredient supplying device and the beer brewing space to each other. Ingredients may be fermented in the fermentation vessel container, which is protected by a housing. Ingredients may be provided into the beer brewing space in a state that a lid is closed, a foreign substance may be minimized from being contained in the beer.

Wireless modular brewing sensor and brew monitoring system
10767147 · 2020-09-08 ·

A modular wireless brewing sensor comprising a processor housing. The processor housing has a power source, a processing means, an antenna and a RF transmitter. A separable probe housing can be coupled to the processor housing. The probe housing can comprise a probe, a fitting, a seal element, and a fitting fastener. A modular wireless brewing sensor can be communicatively connected to a control system that can provide a user real-time feedback on the environmental conditions within a brewing vessel. A brewing system can be used to control other brewing apparatuses, such as a burner or pump upon the environmental conditions exceeding pre-determined thresholds set in the control system by a user.

Apparatus and method for the recovery of energy
10676704 · 2020-06-09 · ·

A device and method for recovering energy from a hot medium, in particular from hot wort or hot mash for a beer brewery, including a first heat exchanger device for a heat transfer medium that is arranged in particular downstream of a device for heating, boiling or keeping wort or mash warm and is designed such that the heat transfer medium can be heated while cooling preferably wort or mash, wherein at least one heat consumer of the brewery is heated with the heat transfer medium. The heat transfer medium cooled down during heating the heat consumer can be recirculated to the first heat exchanger device in the circuit.

Software Tuning of Recipes for Beer Brewing System
20200157478 · 2020-05-21 ·

A beer making system may modify a beer ingredient/process recipe to adjust sensory characteristics of a desired beer. With a given ingredient list and starting recipe, a performance model of a brewing system may be used to generate an updated recipe when given a set of desired sensory characteristics of a desired beer. A user interface may permit a user to adjust characteristics such as thin/thick mouthfeel, dryness/maltiness, hops bitterness, hops flavor, hops aroma, and other characteristics. An updated recipe may change mashing schedules, boiling schedules, or other programmatically controlled aspects of a brewing system. The performance model may include heuristics as well as performance metrics derived from observing previous brewing sessions on one or multiple devices.
