6.5 Lautering
Once the programmed brewing phases have been completed, a signal
tone sounds again. This is also acknowledged with
Continue . The pump
switches off and you are prompted to purge (“remove malt pipe”).
6.5.1 Information about lautering
Lautering is the separation of the malt grist from the beer wort.
Compared to many other home brewing methods, lautering with the
Braumeister is a relatively simple, quick and clean process and repre-
sents a central concept of the Braumeister.
Remove the wing screw together with the hold-down bar and the second
wing screw above the screen plate. Then carefully and slowly pull the
malt pipe out of the kettle with the aid of the gallow, the cable winch or
the lifting cross until the malt pipe hangs completely out of the wort and
the residual wort drips back through the spent grains into the kettle. By
subsequently washing out the spent malt with sparge water, the last
remaining extract can be removed. This process is called „Anschwänzen“.
With sparge water of 10-20 %, a lot more sugar can be extracted from the
spent grains. The original gravity of the dripping wort is approximately
the same as that of the wort in the kettle. The so-called „Anschwänzen“
is done by pouring water at 78 °C (max. 78 °C! - no boiling water) into the
top of the malt pipe.
The temperature remains constant at the preset temperature of 78°C
during lautering. After 15-20 minutes of lautering, remove the malt pipe
completely by swiveling the gallow forward and lowering the malt pipe
down into a collecting container or similar using a cable winch. For safe-
ty reasons, it is always advisable to work with heat-resistant gloves here,
as all parts now exhibit high temperatures. After removing the malt pipe,
acknowledge this again with
Next .
To start hop boiling, press Next again and then Start now . The pump and
heater switch on again and the automatic process continues.
