A method is provided for producing a wood infused liquid consumable. The liquid consumable is contained within a container (2, 40, 50) and is contacted with one or more wooden components (4, 42, 52) in order to enable a wood infusion process to take place. Said one or more wooden components are severed parts of an intermediate wooden sheet cut from a log (30) of wood by rotary cutting it tangentially from the outer surface of the log of wood in veneer fashion such that the intermediate wooden sheet has a thickness corresponding generally to the radial direction (“R”) with respect to the log of wood from which it was cut. The wooden component or components have a thickness of from 0.5 mm to 10 mm, preferably from 1 mm to 8 mm and most preferably from 3 mm to 6 mm. The invention also provides wooden components suitable for use in such a method. The wooden components may be in the form of any of a wooden sheet, strip (or slat), rectangular cross-sectioned rod, or small block.

The present invention relates to a bubble generating apparatus and a fermentation tank including same. The bubble generating apparatus comprises: an impeller unit which is provided so as to rotate about an axis extending in a reference direction and includes a plurality of blades arranged along a circumferential direction centered on the axis; and a stator unit which is disposed outside the radius of the impeller unit and includes a plurality of holes arranged along the circumferential direction. The stator unit may be spaced outward from the blades in the radial direction.

The disclosure relates to an intelligent control system for a solid-state brewing producing process and its applications, belonging to the technical field of design and construction of devices for producing alcoholic beverages. The system includes a brewing container group, a storage device, a fed-batch system and a control system. An existing brewing pit is connected to the storage device, and a liquid collection groove, a pump body, a pressure gauge, a sensor, a spray recycling device and the like are additionally arranged to form an intelligent collection and circulation control system for fermented liquid products, thereby solving the technical problems of high labor intensity, low work efficiency, incomplete dripping of the products, and influence on the distillation efficiency of fermented grains caused by manual scooping of the products for recycling in the prior art, realizing automation of recycling the products, and facilitating the collection and recycling of the products.
