Hello Everyone,
I have been doing a lot of work around our lautering as it takes ages to lauter- We have fixed all the possible issues without changing the equipment like maintain 78C mash out temperatures in Lauter tun to not allow viscosity to increase. Have adjusted the mill down to 1.47 mm using feeler gauge to get the right crush with conditioning. However not much has changed. I was wondering whether I could change this filter bed into a smaller sieve size. And weld my lautering pipe to the inlet of the transfer pump with VFD control for both pump and the rakes. (Note Rakes are non adjustable) and use it for vorlauf and directly transfer wort into kettle. Currently I collect my wort into the whirlpool as it a 2 vessel (lauter and whirlpool combined) 5 hl brewhouse. Will this be possible?
I will attach a picture as soon as I can
