[0002] Beer is a fermented beverage containing alcohol. A large amount of raw materials such as malt, hops, water and yeast are used in its production process. The mixture of these raw materials will stimulate the activity of yeast, causing it to release chemicals such as carbon dioxide and alcohol. Beer sterilization methods can be divided into two types: pre-bottling sterilization and post-bottling sterilization. The first is pre-bottling sterilization, i.e. instant sterilization, and the second is post-bottling sterilization, i.e. spray sterilization, which is one of the most widely used pasteurization methods. For the pasteurization of beer after bottling, tunnel spray sterilizers are currently used.
