Abstract: A spherical hydrostatic bearing (2) having a ball (6) mounted in a split socket (4) for substantially friction free movement relative thereto and a linear hydrostatic bearing (142, 148) extending through the ball and having a longitudinal axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the ball for permitting substantially friction free sliding movement of a rod. Also, apparatus is provided for at least limiting rotational movement of the ball around the longitudinal axis of the split socket.

Abstract: An improved carbonation method, apparatus, and system includes a carbonation chamber, a temperature sensor, a pressure regulator, and a controller that determines a temperature of water entering the carbonation chamber and, when the temperature is above and outside of a predetermined temperature range, send a temperature adjustment to signal to a cooler to cool the water and, when the temperature is in the predetermined temperature range, determine whether a pressure of carbon dioxide gas entering the chamber should be adjusted corresponding to the specific temperature in the predetermined temperature range.

Abstract: A convertible beverage container package having an integrated cooler compartment is provided that is sized to contain a number of cans in a box shape during transit, storage, and sale and which can be converted to a portable cooler configured to receive ice for cooling the cans contained therein. The shape of the convertible beverage container package allows a compact package for storage and transport, which can be selectively expanded to receive ice. In some cases, the received ice may surround two or more sides of the beverage cans. In one case, the shape of the convertible beverage container package may direct ice inside the package to contact the canned beverages on at least three sides.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described that produce a nonalcoholic beer. The method includes heating water within a container, adding selected components to the water including at least one salt or at least one acid, bringing the water to a boil, adding selected hops to create a water brew, cooling the water brew, adding a selected percentage of a high krausening wort to the cooled water brew, allowing the wort to complete a fermentation cycle to produce a base product, diluting the base product by a percentage to thereby produce an ABV to at or below 0.5%, and adding at least one flavoring to the base product to produce the nonalcoholic beer.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for controlling off-flavors of low-alcohol and nonalcoholic beer. The formation of Strecker aldehydes is limited during the processing and subsequent storage of low-alcohol or nonalcoholic beer. Limiting the formation of Strecker aldehydes provides an improved sensory perception and taste through a reduction in worry flavors.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described that produce an ultra-high gravity alcoholic beverage from a high gravity alcoholic beverage stream using an efficient, low waste, combination reverse osmosis and forward osmosis system and an enhanced draw solution. Utilizing a reverse osmosis system prior to using a forward osmosis system in removing water content from a high gravity alcoholic beverage stream significantly reduces a draw solution load when compared to a process that utilizes a forward osmosis system alone or prior to using any other dewatering system. In addition, the enhanced draw solution, comprising at least one of acetaldehyde, amyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, iso-amyl acetate, iso-amyl alcohol, iso-butanol, n-propanol, pentyl acetate, and phenyl ethyl alcohol, offers an efficient and low-cost alternative to ethanol-based draw solutions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for processing constituent materials from brewer's spent grains (BSG) for making packaging and/or products. The spent grains are arranged into a set of balanced constituent materials of approximately 80% to 90% grains, 10% to 20% hops, and less than 1% of spices by weight. This set of constituent materials is then formed into products, such as paper and packaging. The paper can be used to create labels or other carriers for beverages, especially for bottled beverages.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for stabilizing the flavor of a fermented beverage, most particularly beer, by the addition of a composition comprising a tannin and a solid carrier prior to, or during early stages of, fermentation of the beverage. The invention is also directed to the fermented beverage prepared by such a method. The composition may include at least one polyphenol therein and may be in the form of a pellet.

Abstract: Methods and systems of a mobile beer-dispensing system are provided. The system includes a mobile cart, a beer storage tank or container mounted to the mobile cart, a pressurization system configured to selectively force beer from the storage tank, a beer-dispensing tap, a fluid transport line configured to convey the beer from the storage tank to the tap, and an integrated cooling system that keeps the storage tank and the fluid transport lines cool.
