This invention relates to the manufacture of alcoholic brewery beverages on a continuous basis and is concerned with a novel fermenting vessel and novel fermentation process involving its use. The fermenting vessel has a series of compartments through which the brewer's wort flows in use. The bottom of the vessel has a rounded bottom in cross-section and a longitudinally extending paddle rotates close to the rounded bottom at a slow rate sufficient only to keep yeast from settling on the bottom during the fermentation process. This limited agitation has been found to be as effective as the rapid agitation from a time point of view and produces end product that is superior in taste to one that is rapidly agitated.
