#CMT# #/CMT# Producing a mash (20) for brewing beer, comprises producing mash comprising at least one starch carrier (4), water (2) and at least one enzyme (6) for splitting starch and/or protein, heating the mash, and precipitating at least one of enzyme present in the mash, or mixing a starch carrier with water to form the mash, heating the mash, and adding at least one precipitated enzyme to the mash. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for: (1) an enzyme concentrate for splitting of starch and/or protein, precipitated from the mash; and (2) a device for mashing with at least one mash container comprising at least one outlet of the mash container connected to the inlet of a separator to precipitate undissolved components of the mash in the separator, and at least one filter (14) for separating enzymes, whose inlet is connected to the outlet of the separator. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# The method is useful for producing a mash for brewing beer. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method uses unmalted starch carrier without enzymes produced from genetically modified microorganisms, and obtains the enzyme concentrate in a simple manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows a schematic representation of the method for producing mash. 2 : Water 4 : Starch carrier 6 : Enzyme 14 : Filter 20 : Mash #CMT#BIOLOGY : #/CMT# Preferred Components: The at least one precipitated enzyme is alpha - or beta -amylase, invertase, isoamylase, maltase, alpha -glucosidase, limit dextrinase, peptidase, pullulanase and beta -glucanase. The starch carrier comprises malted cereals, or non-malted cereals, potatoes, yams, sugar cane or cassava. The enzyme concentrate comprising at least one enzyme comprises at least one enzyme starch residue, pentosan, structural proteins and/or storage proteins. Preferred Method: The at least one of enzyme is precipitated, before the mash is heated to a temperature greater than the inactivation temperature of the at least one enzyme to be precipitated. The at least one enzyme is added to the mash before reaching the gelatinization temperature. The at least one enzyme to be added to the mash is precipitated again after a residence time. The method comprises removing a mash flow, separating solids from the mash flow, and subsequently filtering out at least one of enzyme from the mash flow. The mash flow is supplied back into the container after filtering from which the mash flow is previously removed. The filter residues resulting during filtering are obtained by drying. The filter residues are granulated. #CMT#INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING : #/CMT# Preferred Components: The outlet of the filter opens into the mash container. The device comprises means for feeding components precipitated by the separator to the mash container. #CMT#EXAMPLE : #/CMT# No suitable example given.
