Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for removing undesired volatile substances from wort for beer production. The method comprises subjecting a produced wort to a boiling and hopping process; and transporting the boiled and flavored wort towards a whirlpool tank via a pipe system. A stripping gas is introduced into a first part of the pipe system to mix with the wort flowing therethrough. The stripping gas, now mixed with stripped volatile substances, is then removed either at a second part of the pipe system positioned downstream to the first part of pipe system, and/or removed from the whirlpool tank.
