Lautering

The lautering process requires up to 12 l
of hot water.
First prepare the lauter-/fermenting tun
040002), which you will now use as
(BHG
a lautering tun. Set the lauter-/fermen-
ting tun (BHG 040002) up next to the
mash tun (BHG 410000) (fig. 6):
Insert the strainer (15) into the lauter-/
ƒ
fermenting tun (BHG 040002). Make
sure the drain tap (6) is closed. Then
add hot water (70–80°C) until the wa-
ter is level with the bottom of the strai-
ner (15) (approx. 5 l) (fig. 5).
Now use the ladle (12) to scoop out
ƒ
the mash and transfer it to the lauter-/
fermenting tun (BHG 040002)
Do not open the drain tap (6)
become blocked), and never lift or tip
the mash tun (BHG 410000) (danger of
scalding) (fig. 2)!
When all the liquid has been trans-
ƒ
ferred, put the lid on the lauter-/fer-
menting tun (BHG 040002) and allow
the mash to stand for 10-15 minutes.
Ideally, you should set up the lauter-/
fermenting tun (BHG 040002) so that
you can transfer the wort via the drain

tap into the mash tun (BHG 40 410000),
e.g. on a work table. Place the mash
tun (BHG 410000) again approx. 40 cm
above the floor (fig. 7).
Have plenty of hot water (70–80°C)
ƒ
ready for the second wort.

The lautering can now begin:
Clean the mash tun
ƒ
roughly and place it below the drain
tap of the lauter-/fermenting tun
040002).
Open the tap slowly and collect the
ƒ
first 1–2 l of cloudy liquid (trub) in the
jug.
As soon as the liquid runs clear, let it

Pour the trub gently back into the lau-

ter-/fermenting tun
After 5-7 l, test the specific gravity of
ƒ
the first wort (fill the measuring cylin-
der (17) with wort, cool it to 20°C and
use the hydrometer
the specific gravity). To do so, hold the
hydrometer at its thin end and immer-
se it gently, so that it does not touch

Read the gravity where the surface of
the liquid crosses the scale (fig. 8).
