Wort boiling is the most energy intensive stage in the brewing process. Novel wort boiling systems have been explored to reduce primary energy consumption and improve wort quality and beer flavor stability. Low thermal stress boiling is proposed for wort boiling, but the content of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) in the wort may exceed the required product threshold. A single spinning cone evaporator (SCE) is proposed to enhance the separation of DMS and minimise the energy consumption for wortboiling. The performance of a SCE was evaluated by measurement of fluid flow, ratio of DMS removal, wort self-evaporation ratio based on sensible heat, and thermal efficiency. The results show that use of a spinning cone evaporator, reduced DMS by up to 90% with 2.1% wort self evaporation ratio with less primary heat consumption. The SCE operation exceeds the evaporation of a gravity film cone. Under reduced pressure, the spinning cone evaporator was less effective in DMS removal.
