Energy demand and calculation of profitability
Saved cost for energy when wort boiling is adjusted:
Isomerization during boiling no longer required, this means possible reduction
of boiling time and total evaporation of at least 50 %
Assumption for cost savings for thermal energy consumption:
Energy costs 4 ct/kWh natural gas
Total evaporation 2.2 % instead of 4.5 % - less energy recovery for
wort pre heating!
Specific use of thermal energy for boiling < 1,5 kWh/hl instead of 3
kWh/hI wort
Total degree of efficiency for supply of thermal energy at wort kettle 90 %
Savings 6.7 ct/hl wort
Possible savings for 2 million hl wort production: approx 134,000 €
Annual energy cost for heating the HoEx suspension: approx 5,000 €
(only 1 % of the yearly wort production volume to be heated for the isomerization process) Annual energy cost net savings: approx 129,000 €
Compensation of less energy recovery with solar thermal heat!

Slow agitator speeds possible
Tip speed < 3 m/s
Low shear forces
Reduced oxygen uptake
Support of convection with inclined agitator blades arranged in opposite direction
Circular movement and “folding” of the mash
Optimal mixing in the dead zone behind the blade due to holes in the blade Inner blade area pushes the mash downwards to the bottom
Outer blade area lifts the mash upwards at the heated shells

Avoidance of cold zones with reduced enzyme activity in the mash
