Record 2 2003-09-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Brewing and Malting
CONT

Following boiling, the spent hops and coagulated protein "trub" are removed by straining through "hop jack". In breweries that use pelleted hops instead of hop flakes the hop jack is by-passed. The hot wort is allowed to settle in a hot wort tank to remove the remaining trub. The hot wort is then cooled to about 10 degrees C by passage through a plate cooler.

CONT

Upperdough: The sludge on top of the layer of grains in a straining tank, consisting of finely divided light particles, mostly coagulated protein.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Brasserie et malterie
CONT

Après la cuisson, on enlève la drêche de houblon et les protéines coagulées (cassure) en filtrant le moût dans un panier à houblon. Dans les brasseries qui se servent de granulés de houblon plutôt que de flocons de houblon, le passage dans le panier à houblon n'est pas nécessaire. On pompe le moût chaud dans un réservoir où se produit le dépôt du reste de la cassure. Puis, on refroidit le moût vers 10 degrés C environ en le faisant passer dans un réfrigérant à plateaux.

A sparge arm is another worthwhile brewery option. Although it does not actually save time, it does decrease the amount of effort you must spend pouring sparge water into the lauter tun. A sparge arm can be purchased ready-made, improvised from a shower head, or fabricated at home. One simple design is a perforated copper loop that lies on top of the grain in the lauter tun. It is connected to the hot liquor tank by food-grade tubing, and you control the flow of water from the hot liquor tank using a ball valve. Water is run through the copper loop onto the grain bed at a rate about equal to the rate of wort leaving the tun.

Subject field(s)

  • Brewing and Malting
  • Beverages
CONT

After the wort has taken on the flavor of the hops they must be removed. The wort is passed through a "hop jack" or separator to remove both the hops and a large amount of the protein which was precipitated during the boil. This protein is known by the short and expressive name of "trub".

CONT

The wort itself proceeds from the hop jack to the "hot wort tank", where most of the remaining trub is removed by settling.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Brasserie et malterie
  • Boissons (Industrie de l'alimentation)
CONT

Le moût obtenu après l'empâtage et la filtration subit une première ébullition, appelée cuisson, qui dure environ trente minutes. Il commence à se former un coagulat protéo-tannique que le brasseur appelle cassure.

CONT

Le moût est ensuite traité par décantation dynamique ou par centrifugation, afin d'éliminer la cassure.

CONT

Most diagrams of boiling kettles show a straight-sided kettle with a round bottom and interior steam jackets/coils. Some are also direct-fired. However, one diagram shows the same type of kettle, sans steam internal steam coils or flame. This one draws from the bottom of the tank and pumps the wort through an external housing containing steam coils(called a calandria). The wort is then passed back through the MIDDLE of the tank(below the wort level) and shot through a "boiling fountain" to a point above the wort level where it is dispersed by an adjustable spreader and allowed to fall onto the surface of the wort.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage industriel

CONT

On utilise le terme «réfrigération» pour décrire le processus de transfert du houblon de la chaudière à la cuve de fermentation. Le moût est pompé de la cuve d'empâtage et passe dans un surcuiseur rempli de houblon en feuilles. Ce processus rehausse la saveur houblonnée du moût en ébullition.

CONT

The wort remains in the starting tank only long enough for fermentation to begin.

CONT

Once the wort has been pumped into the starter tank, yeast is added-about 5 lb. to each 100 gal. of wort-initiating the production of alcohol.

French

DEF

CONT

La bière séjourne environ 10 à 15 heures dans la cuve guilloire pour ensuite passer dans la cuve de fermentation fermée.
