Method of making concentrate for beverages
One embodiment of the present invention is a nested fermentation method for making a beverage, such as an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer, a wine, or the like, the method comprising the steps of: creating a first solution, wherein creating the first solution comprises fermenting first fermentation ingredients; creating a second solution, wherein creating the second solution comprises removing a first portion of alcohol from the first solution; creating a third solution, wherein creating the third solution comprises removing a first portion of water from the second solution; creating a fourth solution, wherein creating the fourth solution comprises adding second fermentation ingredients to the third solution and fermenting the second fermentation ingredients in the third solution.
1. A method for making a fermented solution that can be used to produce a beverage, the method comprising:
creating a first solution, wherein creating the first solution comprises performing a first fermentation process on first fermentation ingredients;
creating a second solution, wherein creating the second solution comprises removing an initial portion of alcohol and an initial portion of water from the first solution; and
creating a third solution, wherein creating the third solution comprises adding second fermentation ingredients to the second solution and performing a second fermentation process on the second fermentation ingredients in the second solution.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing the initial portion of alcohol and the initial portion of water from the first solution comprises using reverse osmosis.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
creating a reduced alcohol fermented beverage solution, wherein creating the reduced alcohol concentrated beverage solution comprises adding aromatics to the third solution.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
creating an alcoholic fermented beverage solution, wherein creating the alcoholic concentrated beverage solution comprises adding aromatics and alcohol to the third solution.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising
creating a fourth solution, wherein creating the forth solution comprises removing an additional portion of alcohol and an additional portion of water from the third solution.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein removing the additional portion of alcohol and the additional portion of water from the third solution comprises using reverse osmosis.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
creating a reduced alcohol fermented beverage solution, wherein creating the reduced alcohol concentrated beverage solution comprises adding aromatics to the fourth solution.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
creating an alcoholic fermented beverage solution, wherein creating the alcoholic concentrated beverage solution comprises adding aromatics and alcohol to the fourth solution.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the second solution further comprises separately removing the initial portion of alcohol and the initial portion of water.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein removing the initial portion of alcohol from the first solution comprises vacuum distillation.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first fermentation ingredients and the second fermentation ingredients are for producing a beer.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein the first fermentation ingredients and the second fermentation ingredients are for producing a beverage selected from the group consisting of beer, wine, and cider.
13. A method for making a fermented solution that can be used to produce a beverage, the method comprising:
creating a first solution, wherein creating the first solution comprises performing a first fermentation process on first fermentation ingredients;
creating a second solution, wherein creating the second solution comprises removing an initial portion of alcohol from the first solution; and
creating a third solution, wherein creating the third solution comprises adding a second fermentation ingredients to the second solution and performing a second fermentation process on the second fermentation ingredients in the second solution.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein creating a second solution further comprises removing a portion of water from the first solution.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein removing the portion of water from the first solution is performed after removing the initial portion of alcohol from the first solution.
16. The method of claim 14 , wherein removing the portion of water from the first solution is performed using reverse osmosis.
17. The method of claim 13 , further comprising
creating a fourth solution, wherein creating the forth solution comprises removing an additional portion of alcohol from the third solution.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising
creating a fifth solution, wherein creating the fifth solution comprises removing a portion of water from the fourth solution.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first fermentation ingredients and the second fermentation ingredients are for producing a beer.
20. The method of claim 13 wherein the first fermentation ingredients and the second fermentation ingredients are for producing a beverage selected from the group consisting of beer, wine, and cider.
