Title of Invention

A METHOD OF PRODUCING A MASH EXTRACT AND AN APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH METHOD

Abstract One aspect of the invention concerns a method comprising: a. mashing particulate, starch-containing and optionally malted raw materials with water; b. heat ing the mash and enzymatically hydrolysing the starch; c. passing the heat-treated mash across a first sieve for separation into a fermentable mash extract and wet spent grain; d. transferring the wet spent grain, optionally after said wet spent grain has been subjected to a washing and sieving operation, to a first press and pressing said wet spent grain to obtain dewatered spent grain and additional fermentable mash extract. The present method offers the advantages of (i) being very robust, (ii) enabling the production of high gravity mash extracts (iii) consuming very little electricit y and (iv) achieving high extraction yields. The invention also provides an apparatus for carrying out the aforementioned method.
