Claim 11:
12. A method for extraction of soluble flavoring components from a solid flavor carrier material into a brewing liquid, the method comprising:
a) providing the system according to claim 1;
b) introducing the solid flavor carrier material into said process vessel via said inlet for the solid flavor carrier material;
c) introducing the brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid into the recirculation loop via the closable feed inlet, with the closable outlet for filtered brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid of the filtration device and the optional closable drain outlet closed, so as to fill up the recirculation loop with the brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid;
d) circulating the brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid in the recirculation loop, with the closable feed inlet, the closable outlet for the filtered brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid of the filtration device and the optional closable drain outlet closed, so as to disaggregate the solid flavor carrier material and provide the circulating brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid with solid components of the solid flavor carrier material, and
e) after disaggregation of the solid flavor carrier material, opening the closable feed inlet and the closable outlet for the filtered brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid of the filtration device, feeding the brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid into the recirculation loop via the closable feed inlet, and circulating the brewing liquid material comprising the brewing liquid in the recirculation loop.
