Greetings all,
This is a process question having to do with wort separation. I currently operate an automated 120bbl Rolec lauter system. There’s a step in the recipe called “vorschiessen” that I have no experience with and can’t seem to get a clear explanation of what it does. The step falls before the wort clarification (vorlauf) step. Specifically, during the step, with the pump running at 100% the system will open and close the inlet recirculation valve (used for vorlauf), every thirty seconds. We’ve had problems with our runoffs in the past and i’m wondering if this step is excessively compacting the bed.
Can someone please explain vorschiessen to me?
Thank you for your time.
Cheers,
Jon Ward
