Characterisation of hop particle separation for efficient dry hopping
Hop filter cake | Dry hopped beers are a very important factor for the craft beer movement. In order to obtain the desired aroma profile, hops are added in the fermenter or storage tank. It goes without saying that solid particles added have to be removed with minimal losses after aroma extraction. Cake-forming filtration is thus investigated as a very promising alternative for solid-liquid separation processes used nowadays.
