Now that the lautering process has been completed, the wort content
should be checked. This is important to bring the wort to the desired ori-
ginal gravity in order to be able to adjust the subsequent alcohol content
of the beer.
Remove a filling into a measuring cylinder (accessory) and determine the
level of the wort at the time of removal.
For this purpose, take the three upper level rings located on the draw-
bar as an aid, which indicate 170 / 200 / 230 l bzw. 425 / 500 / 575 l bzw.
700 / 850 / 1,000 / 1,150 / 1,300 l. You estimate a liquid level in between
accordingly. To measure the original gravity with a beer spindle (acces-
sory), the tracted wort must be cooled to 20 °C to obtain an accurate
measurement. Cooling in the refrigerator or similar is suitable for this
purpose. However, since original gravity is related to a certain liquid le-
vel, you do not need to wait until you are ready to take the measurement.
Simply proceed to the next phase of hop boiling.
For information on cooling and filling, see pages 61 to 63.
