Lauter Tun

A lauter tun works much like a large sieve. It normally has a slotted, perforated floor, also called a false bottom, which holds the spent milled grains, while allowing the wort to filter through the grain bed and collect in the space beneath; the wort then runs to the brew kettle.

Lautering usually consists of three steps: mashout, recirculation, and sparging.

At the beginning of the run-off, the wort is usually recirculated through the grain bed as a filter mass, until the run-off appears clear through a sight glass in the recirculation plumbing.

Features

Features of Lauter Tun

01
01

Lauter tuns are, in general, designed much like infusion mash tuns, but they are wider and shallower. The wider lauter tun allows the thickness of the grain bed to be significantly reduced. This allows the sparging process to take place faster (with a higher flow rate) while keeping the pressure differential across the bed the same as it would be in the mash tun.
