Create non or low-alcohol craft beers with full flavour, minimal energy, and consistent quality.
As the market for low and non-alcoholic craft beers continues to expand, brewers face a unique challenge; removing alcohol while preserving the distinctive character of their product. Conventional techniques like thermal distillation or vacuum evaporation often:
- Consume high amounts of steam and cooling energy.
- Extend process times and reduce brewhouse productivity.
- Strip away aromatic compounds.
- Prove costly or impractical for smaller-scale operations.
Brewers require a modular, gentle, and efficient system that delivers reliable alcohol removal while maintaining beer integrity, taste, and aroma.
Our solution:
- 4B Automation & 4B Systems supplies Craft-Scale Dealcoholisation Modules designed to help brewers produce exceptional low- or non-alcohol beers without compromising sensory quality.
- Using Alfa Laval’s advanced dealcoholisation and aroma recovery technologies, these compact, skid-mounted systems remove alcohol gently under low temperature and pressure conditions; preserving flavour, mouthfeel, and colour.
- Each unit integrates automated control, recipe management, and data monitoring, allowing seamless transition between full-strength and reduced-alcohol recipes.
- With local integration, service, and support from 4B Automation & 4B Systems, brewers gain a reliable, energy-efficient solution tailored for flexibility and growth.
