Wort filtering happens before boiling in a microbrewery, the aim is to separate solid particles in the mash from brewhouse, in order to get clear wort. So qualified mash is critical factor for beer brewing.
Wort quality can be predicted almostly after mash pump into lauter tank. In resting period of brewing, if the spent grain with faster sediment, less sticky on surface, much foam, upper clear liquid with dark brown, it means the mashing effect is better, and with faster clarify speed, wort circulation time is short, well filter quality.
In the lautering period, it is necessary to check wort clarifity, color, taste, smell etc. After first wort into boiling 5 - 10 minutes, take sample for testing with cylinder, the qualified wort should clear, transparent, shiny, with golden or dark yellow, basically no suspended particles, and will not be haze, it has special malt aroma, the wort should fragrant and sweet, no peculiar or musty smell. It will not have color to check with iodine.
After lautering 25 -30min, test the gravity of first wort, which should within the range of process specification.
When necessary, testing wort PH, it is better below 5.6.
