Dear all,
I try to better undestand the lautering process in order to optimize a lauter tun and reduce the lautering time in a 1ooHL brewery installation. I have some questions and I would really appreciate any help:
- How does the false bottom "free surface area" affect the lautering process? As what really does the filtering is the bed, why not make the free surface area as high as possible?
- What is the role of the regulating valve between the run offs and the grant? Why do we need to slow down the run off rate?
- Can a freqency contolled pump directly be connected to the run offs? Or is it better to let gravity do the job and use a grant?
- Is there an "optimum run off rate"? How can it be calculated?
Thanks in advance,
George
