What is the purpose of a grant in brewery?
A brewery equipment wort grant is a small wort collection vessel, open to the air, placed between the lautering vessel and the wort kettle.
1. To avoid a potential vacuum in the lauter or mash/lauter tun during wort pumping for recirculation or filling the kettle, which could seal the mash to the false bottom, thus causing turbid worts or stuck mashes;
2. To allow the brewer to asses wort clarity and wort flow;
In larger brewery equipment with multiple lauter tun outlets, to determine whether all parts of the grain bed flow sufficiently well or require raking or other measures to improve flow-through. The grant thus serves as a flow buffer for brewery equipment.
The design of a grant for brewery equipment
The simplest grant design in brewery is essentially an open-top cylindrical can with wort flowing in from the bottom and being pumped off through a side port. This minimizes wort splashing and thus oxygenpickup.
How do we operate wort grant in a brewery?
If there no any sensors to control brewery equipment valves or pump open/close automatically, we will need certain operate technical. Putting the valve before pump inlet half open or 2/3 open, and adjust brewery pump speed by VFD control, so we can assure continuous flow for lautering and pump transfer.
Of course, if you want to take it with higher automation, we can add level sensor control for brewery wort grant, which has high level and low level. When the wort level reached high level, the brewery pump will transfer the wort. Once the wort level reached low level, the pump will stop working.
