1. Method for an accelerated fermentation in a fermentation tank (2) with at least a tank cone (2a) and a connection flange (4), in particular for beer production, comprising the steps:

  • a) sucking in of fermentation fluid (M1) from the tank (2) via a first circulation pipe (40) by means of a circulation pump (30);

    b) inducing the drive fluid (M1) that is now pumped by the circulation pump (30) via a second circulation pipe (50) into a mixing member (10) that is arranged within the tank cone (2a) at a height (L) of 350 mm-1800 mm between the bottom edge of the connection flange (4) and the bottom edge of the mixing member (10); and

    c) generating of a jet that is directed upwards and exiting through an outlet opening (18) of the mixing member (10), so that the yeast cells stay in suspension for a longer time by means of a convective current in the tank (2).
