Abstract: An apparatus (80) and method for measuring and analyzing light transmittance through containers (140) is provided. A system is disclosed in which a light probe (120) is insertable into a container (140) in order to measure light transmittance through portions of the container wall (146). The light probe (120) is connected to a spectrophotometer (72) which analyzes the light transmitted through the container wall (146). Light transmittance is measured over a series of light wavelengths in order to accurately predict the ability of the container (140) to protect its contents from the detrimental effects of light. In addition, the container (140) may be tested for light transmittance at several locations. The measured light transmittance of each location may be weighted differently in order to compensate for the anticipated exposure to light of the particular location. Also provided is a method for monitoring and controlling a container manufacturing process in which containers may be analyzed for light transmittance and the process adjusted accordingly depending upon the analysis.

Abstract: A bottle inspection method is provided which is capable of compensating for random variations in the orientation and position of objects (50, 52, 54, and/or 56) being inspected, such as glass bottles on a conveyor (12). The inspection device (64) creates an image of the object (50, 52, 54, and/or 56) using camera (102 and 104) and then analyzes the image to determine the amount of variation in orientation and position. The desired measurements are made from the image and then adjusted relative to the variation previously determined. Also provided is an improved housing (100) for the imaging devices (102 and 104) which eliminates the need for clear panels which are prone to dirtying.

Abstract: A specialized process for producing purified iso-alpha-acids from hop extract. Hop extract is first combined with a metal salt isomerizing agent. The mixture is preferably boiled to ensure complete isomerization. First organic and aqueous phases are produced, followed by washing of the first organic phase with a primary acid. These materials are preferably boiled during washing. A second organic and aqueous phase are produced, with the second organic phase being washed with a primary alkaline washing agent. Optimum results are achieved if boiling tempertures are maintained during washing. Third organic and aqueous phases are then produced, with the third aqueous phase being washed using a secondary acid to generate fourth organic and aqueous phases. The fourth organic phase (containing purified iso-alpha-acids) may then be stored and subsequently treated with a secondary alkaline washing agent to produce an aqueous concentrate used in brewed beverage production.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that process beer into an oxygen-stable long shelf life spirit. The process includes introducing oxygen into the beer and heating the beer to a temperature within a predetermined temperature range and allowing the beer to age at the predetermined temperature for a number of days. During this aging process, the beer transforms into an oxidized beer spirit. The beer spirit is cooled to room temperature and is then chilled for a period of time to separate unwanted precipitate and byproducts from the beer spirit. After the beer spirit is chilled, the beer spirit is forced through at least one filter to remove precipitate and provide a clear and filtered spirit having a complex taste and aroma profile.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that suppress or arrest oxidation in beer by altering the pH level of beer to a neutralized state. An appropriate pH level for the beer, where oxidation reactions are suppressed, is determined and the beer is subjected to an alkaline substrate that raises the original pH level of the beer to an increased pH level. The alkaline substrate releases hydroxyl ions into the beer, raising the pH level, without requiring the addition of chemicals or compounds to alter the pH level. This pH-neutralized beer may be stored or shipped and then returned to a target pH-adjusted level by subjecting the pH-neutralized beer to a pH-adjustment treatment. The pH adjustment treatment uses an ion exchange substrate to extract a predetermined amount of the hydroxyl ions from the pH-neutralized beer producing a target pH-adjusted beer having a lower pH level at the original target fresh flavor.
