Process for the production of beer having modified beer ingredients

摘要

Increasing or decreasing the content of a particular component, e.g. alcohol, in beer comprises filtration to produce a permeate with reduced content of the component and a retentate with increased content of the component. The process comprises at least one nanofiltration and at least one ultrafiltration stage and the permeates from each of these processes are mixed to produce the product. Independent claims are included for: (A) beer produced by the method; and (B) beer mixtures produced using the beer.
