METHOD OF BREWING FLAVOURED DARK BEER Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C12C12/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to brewing technology. The method involves mixing thyme and hop, extraction of the obtained mixture with liquid nitrogen and separation of the corresponding miscella. Girasol/sunflower is then cut, dried in a microwave field at given process parametres and roasted. The girasol/sunflower and malt are then mixed. The obtained mixture is saturated with the separated miscella while simultaneously increasing pressure. Pressure is then released to atmospheric pressure level, while simultaneously freezing the mixture and cryogenic grinding in the medium of released nitrogen. Sugar is added. Water is then added and saccharification is carried out to obtain wort. Brewing yeast is added and primary fermentation, after fermentation and filtration are carried out.

EFFECT: method shortens duration of the process and increases foam stability of the end product.
